Update (August 30): A few more issues were added to the list. We also got an update on the current Battlegrounds minion/trinket pool.
Update (August 26): Many of the bugs got fixed in the 30.2.1 patch a few days ago. Blizzard updated the list with a couple more known issues, including compensation for Wild Heroic Tavern Brawl players who ran into cheaters.
Patch 30.2 was released yesterday. As always, those major patches come with plenty of smaller and bigger bugs. Blizzard has already started compiling a list of known issues. It’s useful so you know whether the problem you ran into is already being worked on, sometimes you also find out what cards you might want to avoid because they are currently bugged, and so on.
The list of issues is already quite long, but some of the worst ones were already fixed (for example, Arena had to be temporarily disabled due to a bug with random card generation pools).
Anyway, you can find a full list below. I’ll keep updating the post every now and then in case anything new pops up.
30.2 is now live, with Battlegrounds Season 8: Trinkets & Travels! We hope you find
the perfect knick-knacks to remember your stay here.Here are some bugs we’re tracking with this patch:
- [Resolved] [Progression] All players who were unable to claim their free Golden Pack from the shop should now received their pack.*
- [Resolved] [Arena] Arena has been temporarily shut down as we work on resolving a bug with card generation pools. Arena is now open again (you may need to logout and log back in to get access).
- [Resolved] [Battlegrounds] The team is working on a bug fix to an issue where all players can sometimes have a turn skipped and their Trinket for the turn auto-selected.
- [Battlegrounds] When tripling an “All” type minion with Elemental of Surprise, the Golden version loses its “All” type and becomes just an elemental.
- [Battlegrounds] Colorful compass can offer a version for a minion type not in the game if it’s your most common type (because of “All” minions).
- [Resolved] [Battlegrounds] Twin Sky Lanterns doesn’t work the first turn you have it.
- [Resolved] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating a report that Sandbox Scoundrel returned to your hand and replayed may not always generate the Mini Sandbox Scoundrel. This bug may also be causing an issue where Forging a card from Spirit of the Badland’s Mirage makes it lose the Mirage effect.
- [Resolved] [Progression] The team is looking into reports of quests not progressing properly. Player reports indicate this is a visual-only bug that is resolved by logging out and logging back in.
- [Resolved] [Progression] The next freebie gift is now live in the shop! You have one week to claim it. Similar to the previous issue, players are reporting they aren’t seeing it after claiming it. The team is investigating, but it seems that restarting the client resolves this issue.
- [Resolved] [Battlegrounds] Nether Pendants aren’t stacking (so only one effect applies if you have two). Conversely, Peacebloom candles are stacking when they shouldn’t (meaning they progress at the same time and you, again, only get one activation).
- [Added 8/21] [Battlegrounds] The team is investigating various visual issues with the teammate view in Duos, like issues during Trinket selection and Discover options.
- [Resolved] [Hearthstone] The Miniaturize bug above also means that returning The Replicator-inator to your deck causes it to not give the Miniaturized or Gigantified versions.
- [Resolved] [Heroic Tavern Brawl] A small number of players (72 total worldwide) faced a player in the Heroic Tavern Brawl who started games with a hero card as their hero. That player was quickly found and banned. Players who faced this player have now received a 1000 Gold refund for that run–just in time to get another run in before the Heroic Tavern Brawl is gone.
- [Added 8/29] [Hearthstone] Magister’s Apprentice got caught up in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice changes and now also can’t go below 1. The team is looking into getting her a better mentor.
- [Added 8/30] [Progression] Speaking of issues with apprenticeships, the team is investigating reports that some players are unable to progress the apprentice track.
Battlegrounds Pool Updates (Updated 8/29)
- Quilligraphy Set (Greater) has been temporarily removed from the Trinkets pool.
- Corrupted Myrmidon has been temporarily removed from the minion pool.
Other Actions
- [Added 8/21] Players who improperly got Demolition Renovator in their end-of-season rewards last season have now been granted 400 Dust to make up for that missing Epic reward.
Watch this post for more updates throughout the patch.
I have seen a bug not mentioned here in Battlegrounds twice now: a minion with zero health stays on the board, can be attacked, damages the attacker, and counts for damage against the enemy hero.
