Update: A small hotfix was just released (small in contents, not the size) addressing Android disconnect issues. Blizzard is also aware that Sire Denathrius will be very hard to obtain for new players after rewards track changes since he’s tied to achievement asking players… to deal damage with Denathrius.
Blizzard has posted a list of known issues for Patch 25.0. Keep in mind that those are not problems discovered by the community (yet), but the ones they already knew about when pushing out the patch, they just didn’t have time to fix them.
For the most part, they’re minor issues or things that have easy workarounds. For example, changing your client’s language might cause crashes, but reinstalling your client should fix them. You might have noticed some Achievements popping up after you logged in – those are for the cards that were already present on the rewards track, so you most likely have them, and claiming them does nothing. There are also some Death Knight-related issues – some players might be able to finish Prologue or try to queue Death Knight earlier than they should, but they won’t work until the time is right.
Overall, we’re still waiting for reports of more severe bugs, which should start coming shortly (unless it’s a miracle patch without any serious problems, which would of course be great, but unexpected).
Check out full list of Patch 25.0 know issues below. I’ll keep updating it as more pop up.
Patch 25.0 is now available on desktop and is coming to mobile devices soon. The patch will includes a new expansion, a new class, a new minion type, dual-type minions and more! We’ll be using this post to track any issues that pop up during the 25.0 patch period.
As a reminder, March of the Lich King and the Death Knight Prologue unlock on December 6. It is not a bug that they are not available on patch day.
The issues we’re tracking this patch include:
- [Updated 11/30] The team is aware of reports of Android clients crashing on their second login after installing the new patch. The 11/30 client hotfix should address these issues.
- On your first login in 25.0, some previously completed achievements will show up and be claimable again. These are the achievements that relate to the golden cards you earned in the last rewards track. You can’t have additional copies of these cards and they can’t be disenchanted or crafted, so this bug does not affect gameplay. The team is working on addressing this issue for upcoming patches.
- Death Knight cards, like those you will get from packs or the Path of Arthas, can’t be used in the Hearthstone mode until you unlock the class. Under certain circumstances, players may be able to queue a Hearthstone mode game as a Death Knight before they unlock the class. This will result in an error and the game will not start. Complete the Death Knight Prologue (available on December 6) first to unlock the class, then you will be able to play with it on ladder.
- Under certain circumstances, players may be able to complete the Death Knight Prologue prior to getting the special Event Quest to finish the Prologue. The Event Quest can be completed if you go back and redo the final fight of the Prologue after the Event Quest is offered to you.
- Anachronos can cause disconnects when moving Dormant minions through time. If you get lost in time, restart your client to reconnect to the game. The team is working on a hotfix to address this issue.
- In Mercenaries, Chromie’s Change the Timeline visual effect does not appear as intended on mobile. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
- Artist credits on cards that have Signature versions are showing the artist of the Signature version on all versions. The team is investigating the issue and will make sure that all artists get their correct credit soon.
- [Added 11/29] Some Collectible Coins for old expansions (Engineer’s Coin, Naxxramas Coin, Gallant Coin, Explorer’s Coin), are incorrectly visible in the Collection Manager. They’re still in-development and can’t be earned right now. They will be earnable once they are ready. The team is investigating a solution to their early appearance.
- [Added 11/29] The team is aware that the achievement to earn Sire Denathrius (for people who did not earn him during the Patch 24.0 cycle) requires you to play Sire Denathrius, making him harder than intended to be earned. The team is looking into alternative options.
- [Resolved 11/30] Fixed an issue where Duels deck codes were not copying.

11/30 Hotfix:
- This afternoon, we released a client hotfix patch to address the disconnect issues seen by Android devices. The patch is currently available on PC and set to be made available as soon as it is approved by the various app storefronts.
We will update this post with more information as we track known issues this patch.
Too bad that we can’t start the prologue already, I want to be able to play death knight right now!
It seems the original battlecry for Anachronos was “Send all other minions as well as players 2 turns into the future.”
