January 7, 2022 Hotfix – Maestra Turning Into Rogue Fixed, Compensations For Various Issues, Achievements Fixes Coming In 22.2

A new, server-side hotfix has been pushed out. It addresses a few issues – most importantly it fixed Maestra of the Masquerade bug which caused her to turn you into… Rogue if you didn’t favorite any class portrait for a class she was supposed to turn you into.

It also fixed a few other, less common problems like Scabbs + Coldarra Drake combo causing players to skip turns or people getting uncraftable golden cards from various sources (instead of the regular cards they should be getting).

Read more below:

We are currently in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix to all regions that includes the following:

• Fixes a bug that caused Maestra to not turn into another class if you did not have a favorited hero skin for that class (resulting in the Rogue being disguised as… a Rogue).
• Fixes timings so that a Shadowcrafter Scabbs that gets a Coldarra Drake can no longer skip the enemy turn by repeatedly using their hero power.
• Closes an exploit that players with hacked accounts were using to cheat in Mercenaries PvP.
• Fixes a bug that allowed players to get uncraftable golden cards from various random drops. Compensation for players who received these unintended uncraftable cards will be provided at a later time.

Separately, we recently provided compensation for: players who purchased a Valeera Mercenaries bundle that was temporarily mistranslated in Russian and Chinese languages; and a small number of players who received Vanessa VanCleef Portraits through “random” products, instead of the rewards track as intended.

We will update this post when we have more information.

We’ve also learned that the bugged achievements from Alterac Valley will get fixed in the next major patch, which is 22.2. I suspect it will drop early next week, or the week after at the latest.

Patch 22.2, which is the next major patch.
