You might have noticed that a quick update just went through and wonder what it’s all about. It’s pretty simple – Galakrond animations were sometimes causing disconnects. Mostly in case of Shaman, who used Quest Hero Power with Invoke cards. So Blizzard has decided to temporarily disable those animations until they fix this issue. The actual fix is supposed to come out next week.
Hey Folks,
We are currently in the process of rolling out a hotfix that will disable the animations for Galakrond. The reason for this:
We’ve found multiple occurrences in which Galakrond’s animations can cause the Hearthstone client to disconnect. The primary occurrence: when playing Quest Galakrond Shaman, we encountered (as well as received word) a bug where the client would disconnect after using Heart of Vir’naal + minions with the Invoke keyword.
This is just a temporary solution that will fix the client disconnects. We are aiming to ship a client patch within the next week that will be the long-term fix for this issue.
The team is continuing to keep an eye out for issues, so please do let us know if you encounter more pesky bugs ????
Cheers,
Chris_Attalus
What about Galakrond showing up in hand while invoking. This happens every time my opponent plays an invoke card. I also assume that my opponents can see the same.
Is this supposed to be happening? Because i have not read anything about it and it seems to be a bug, or is it?
yeah, i think that’s on purpose. not cool though, i mean, i shouldn’t know if he’s holding it or not. that was not happening with c’thun.
I´m absolutely with you. I don´t like it at all, because it doesn´t make any sense 🙁
A dev has recently confirmed that it’s a bug and it shouldn’t happen – it will be fixed soon!

anyone had issues with the game freezing? happened 4 times for me today already.
I had this problem on Android
I have different kind of problems, when the game just crashes. When I reopen the game, it returns me to home screen with no stars lost or gained, as if nothing happened.
If you only play Quest Shaman, you deserve it 😀
Haven’t played a single game as shaman since I dislike the class. Shaman having the most broken deck certainly doesn’t help since I prefer my own creativity instead of netdecking.
