16.2.3 Update Out – Risky Skipper is a Pirate, Battlegrounds De-Syncing Issues, Other Bug Fixes + Hints of Upcoming Patch 16.4

A small patch just went out, mostly with some bug fixes. Risky Skipper got its Pirate tag, Battlegrounds de-sycing issues were fixed, Air Raid Twinspell card rarity got fixed etc. You can read more below.

Chris has also hinted at the upcoming 16.4 Patch (it should probably launch after the last chapter of Galakrond’s Awakening is out), which will bring Arena rotation, fix for the combat / recruit bugs in Battlegrounds and the promised speed-ups for minion trigger animations. There’s also a chance that we’ll see the new Reno Hero and Amalgam minion which were datamined recently!

Hey Friends,

Just a short time ago, we started rolling out a small client update that addresses the following issues:

  • Fixed an issue where de-syncing (a discrepancy between what the client shows vs. what is actually occurring on the server) would sometimes occur when Soul Juggler was dealing damage or when Deathrattles spawned minions in Battlegrounds.
  • Art for Heroes + Hero Powers will now properly populate on mobile devices when the optional data download is paused.
  • When the Air Raid Twinspell is played, the copy generated will now be the correct rarity.
  • Risky Skipper is now a Pirate minion type, as originally intended.
  • Spin ‘em Up and Small Repairs will no longer have their mana cost displayed in red when generated from Keeper Stalladris.

Please keep us updated if you encounter any new issues! Much love friendos <3

Cheers,
Chris_Attalus

UPDATE: For those wondering, here are some things shipping in the upcoming 16.4 patch:

  • Arena Rotation
  • Fix for the combat / recruit bug in Battlegrounds
  • Animation speed-ups for minion triggers, as mentioned here
