Some interesting information was “hidden” in the latest “Patch 21.4 Known Issues” update. Apparently, this is the final hotfix in 21.4 cycle, because we’re getting 21.6 Patch Notes this week, ahead of next week’s actual patch. It also lines up with the official PlayHearthstone’s Tweet saying that more info about the mini-set will come out next week. For the last few weeks, the entire news cycle was focused on Mercenaries, so it feels good to be back to Constructed – card reveals, possibly new meta – it will all be very welcome after things have been stale in that department for over a month now (ever since the big balance update).
I’ve been guessing November 4 as the mini-set release date for a long time now – I specifically thought that it will be Thursday, because previous mini-sets were released on Thursday. However, the patch will 100% release on Tuesday – that’s when the Hallow’s End Diablo events start, and we don’t have the event data in game files yet, so we need a patch for it. It means that either the mini-set will come out at the same time as the patch, or they will release the patch with event on Tuesday and then unlock mini-set on Thursday. Either way, we won’t have to wait much longer.
Oh, and since I don’t want to create a separate post for it – we’ve also learned that Toki is disabled in the Battlegrounds, because her latest Hallow’s End skin is bugged (it gives her 1 attack permanently, allowing her to actually attack stuff in the Tavern – yes, it was pretty hilarious).
10/26 Update: We deployed a small server-side hotfix today to address an issue preventing Mercenaries MMR from properly adjusting after players lose a game at 0 MMR (such as players who lost their first-ever Fighting Pit game). The patch also prevents a hack that allowed players to cheat more than 6 Mercenaries into their Party. This is our last planned hotfix for the 21.4 patch cycle. Look out for future updates in the 21.6 Patch Notes, coming later this week, ahead of next week’s patch!
10/26 Update 2: We have temporarily disabled Toki from Battlegrounds due to a bug with some of her skins. We are preparing a fix and will reenable her once we are able to get the hotfix in to correct the bug.
PvP big chests are not working after this update, just hit 6000 SR and I didnt get anything ….I noticed on other forums that lowest chests are not working as well
Yessssss!! I hope tomorrow see something new here. Or Thursday. One trailer maybe? *-*
