19.4.1 Patch Notes

  • Fixed a visual bug where notifications would persist for the Journal after completed Achievements had been claimed.

Negative, I am still seeing the Achievement notification, without any achievements to claim.

edit: Indeed, it has been fixed. Thanks Blizzard developers!

Very tough card to keep future proofed tho

That was a good nerf but a little late. Its ok to nerf and re-nerf cards to make the game better. No one will blame you for making the game better, there just needs to be more timely nerfs. Even if the nerfs are not perfect, you can revert them with no critisium.
Try to make these nerfs on the fly and be bold, th community will thank you. Making a weekly nerf is acceptable but it seems as though the nerfs are getting smaller and therefore the mechanics of the game need to get bigger to compinsate. Make it the other way arround.

NERFS are GREATā€¦so get nerfing

Grommpy, The patch is out tomorrowā€¦not today.

Slingbox, this is a huge improvement compared to how they use to be with nerfs. One week is fast for them.

One week is very, very fast given corporate structures and QA requirements for multiplatform apps.

the nothing on board part isnt really helping your case, hysteria is not a board wipe card it is a spot removal card and SPOT REMOVAL should not swing board states and health totals that far

I was really hoping the change would just be tiller only working when he attacked face. Guess not. RIP Hysteria.

I still think it should say ( it attacks each other minion once)

totalmente de acuerdo XD perdieron bastante de mi respeto equipo de balances .-. destruyen una bonita carta

nice 1 month ā€¦ and you nerf 3 cards :))) gj Blizztard (hearthstone)

I donā€™t understand what youā€™re saying. Pre- and post-nerf Hysteria is both board wipe and spot removal depending on the board state. Both can provide swings with the right play.

thatā€™s it? Worst balance team ever.

Thank God, so sick of cheap hysteria wins

A few days ago, thanks to cost reduction from palm reading, I was able to save myself from aggro hunter lethal with Moonfang -> Apotheosis -> Hysteria.

Much like nerfing Evocation instead of Sorcererā€™s Apprentice - this just kicks the can down the road with Tiller. It will be a problem again.

As a Wild player I wish Blizzard would put more effort and consideration into maintaining the format outside of these emergency nerfs that overly penalize Standard.

Look to WotC, one of the very few things they get right with MTG is in maintaining the health of eternal formats with regular card bans and restrictions specific to those formats. Not just for cards that are ā€˜OPā€™ but also problematic in causing stagnant metagames and over-represented deck archetypes.

Hysteria did nothing wrong. Tiller saw no play in KotFT and during his standar life, moved to wild and didnā€™t see play neither. Why donā€™t you just change that damn card? No one would care and the otk problem would be fix. I understand that devs have their worries about how targeting your own minion with hysteria could be problematicā€¦ But they had a lot of time to think that wile they made the mini setā€¦

A change to tiller would have made a lot more sense because nobody is going to be upset about it.
Alternatively Deathspeaker has been a part of a lot of combos already, it probably would have been fine to bring his time in the sun to an end as well.

I understand them being worried that hysteria may cause issues in the future, but it is fun and creates a lot of interesting strategic decisions now; with itā€™s ability to immediately get value out of lifesteal and deathrattles as well as attack stealthed minions.

Casting spells on friendly minions is part of priest Flavour and destroying friendly minions is part of Warlock flavour.
I put grave rune on a minion and an opponent didnā€™t kill it, so next turn I used Gift of Luminance and played hysteria on the 1/1 to generate more copies. I thought that was REALLY cool when I pulled it off.

There are so many reasons I completely agree, this isnā€™t the way they should have fixed the tiller combo.

pre nerf with apotheosis it was a reliable board clear that full healed you, post nerf it is spot removal that has the potential to clear

i never said it should not swing boards when played right , i said for its mana cost it should not be able to swing as hard as it was consistently able to with apotheosis

I guess weā€™ll have to disagree. IMO a 3 card combo costing at least 6 mana (more if itā€™s supposed to actually do much) is perfectly acceptable for a major swing.

Que horas sai o patch???
