Blizzard will hold a press event this wednesday showcasing the final version of Hearthstone. That's awfully close to Thursday... Oh and "Hearthstone requires an internet connection to play - offline mode will not be available for the iPad version."
But...this wednesday is two days ago I don't care if it's online-only as long as I'm able to practice against Bots/AI.
So the media event showing off the final build is Apr 3, thats a thursday. And its going to playable at Pax East Apr 11-13. So Im guessing they launch it Apr 10?
Oh right! Yeah that's a Thursday my bad! Either I don't think we'll be waiting more than two weeks for this one. It's getting close!

So the 1st ranked season is about one month long. This doesn't makes any sense if the iPad version will get an release in the middle of a season. PC players already have an advantage due to the time they were already able to play this, as some user above already stated. And yes, it will be hard to fight oppenents which already played for a long time. Gets even more worse for iPhone and Android users. But thanks for sharing!
I read an interview that said that how well you did in the last season determines who you get matched up with in a new season. So people new to the game won't be playing people that have been doing well.
Getting this on my birthday(Wednesday night/tonight) would be awesome! But I'm thinking the prediction of the 17th will be closer to reality.
