Update: Patch 28.0 Known Issues post got a big update after expansion’s launch (just as I’ve said). Nothing major so far, but some pretty common bugs have been popping up.
Patch 28.0 has dropped yesterday, including Showdown in the Badlands expansion data, new cosmetics, and some changes to all of the game modes. Most notably, Arena has already rotated and contains Badlands cards, which means that multiple of the bugs are centered around it.
Still, the patch is relatively light on the bugs so far, and nothing is truly gamebreaking, but I do expect more of them to pop up after expansion releases and we get a much bigger sample size of playing with new cards.
Check out a full list of issues below. I’ll post any updates regarding hotfixes etc.
Patch 28.0 is now live, and Showdown in the Badlands is on the horizon! As we ride towards glory, we’ve picked up a few bandits (bugs) that we’re tracking here.
The following are some of the known issues we’re tracking this patch:
- [Resolved 11/7] [Arena] Flint Firearm’s Battlecry isn’t working in Arena.
- [Resolved 11/7] [Hearthstone] Wicked Whispers isn’t counting as a “discard” effect.
- [Added 11/7] [Progression] The Catch-Up Packs login reward will be granted upon login after expansion launch, not patch launch.
- [Resolved 11/9] [Shop] The team is investigating reports of Runestone purchases not working in the Battlegrounds Shop. Battlegrounds personalized offers have been disabled while this is investigated.
- [Resolved 11/10] [Hearthstone] The team is digging into reports that Stick Up is able to give Rogue Drilly the Kid.
- [Added 11/8] [Arena] Some cards are again able to Discover/generate other versions of themselves.
- [Resolved 11/10] [Arena] The team is discussing “Secrets from the Past” cards not working as expected in Arena.
- [Added 11/9] [Cosmetics] The Elise the Leader and Pit Boss Reska hero skins are missing their hero power animations. They are planned to be added in the next major patch.
- [Added 11/10] [Hearthstone] The team is digging into reports of small pockets of lag while Excavating.
- [Added 11/10] [Hearthstone] The ballad of Halveria Darkraven continues. It appears she’s into punk rock now, as she won’t comply with our attempts to fix her hero power. The team is investigating.
- [Added 11/13] [Hearthstone] High Noon Duelist is a bit trigger happy and is destroying cards even if the DRAW is a tie.
- [Added 11/13] [Hearthstone] Reliquary Researcher needs to organize her desk. She can sometimes research up a secret you already control, resulting in two secrets not being played.
- [Added 11/13] [Hearthstone] Switching heroes (such as playing Reno) after Anachronos is played appears to be messing with the timeline, resulting in minions not returning properly from the effect.
- [Added 11/14] [Progression] The Showdown in the Badlands Legendary Achievement is stuck at 26/27. Hold your horses on disenchanting Legendary cards–we’ll get this sorted.
- [Added 11/14] [Collection] We’re investigating reports that re-roll prompts are not appearing when expected. It seems they are sometimes being delayed until the next pack opening.
- [Added 11/14] [Hearthstone] The team is looking into reports that Spurfang sometimes doesn’t load the image of the minion summoned. It appears logging back in causes the minion to appear.
- [Added 11/14] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports of Signature Slagmaw the Slumbering being granted from packs and other non-BlizzCon sources.
- [Added 11/14] [Hearthstone] The team is aware that certain cards are able to ruin Reno, Lone Ranger’s face-off.
- [Added 11/7] [Battlegrounds] We’re temporarily removing The Yogg-iseum from the Anomaly Pool while we investigate an issue causing particular players to not get any Yogg spins.
- [Added 11/8] [Battlegrounds] We’ve temporarily removing Eonar’s Overgrown Arena from the Anomaly Pool due to a bug.
