Any time table for fixing the Chi-ji Mercs bug, or other issues in that mode?

Just cruising by to reiterate that the Friend of a Friend Battlegrounds achievement for playing 16 different buddies as E.T.C. has still not been fixed as of this patch.

I would also like to add that it is still impossible to complete the Restless Reader achievement to Read 40 Lorebooks in the Book of Heroes: Faelin Solo Adventure. This has been broken since its release on June 1, 2022.

Can we address some power outliers in Wild?

The devs said they don’t want to play whack-a-mole in an attempt to balance the format; my question is why? There is no way we can look at Wild and say “Yup, this is fun right now”.

i think " wack a mole" is a never ending cycle

there is no way to prevent a new meta from forming

That’s fine though. The goal would be to remove literally toxic interactions (Flurgl + Tox) and to shake up the meta so that we don’t get burnt out.

another patch, and another failed opportunity to remove the shameless pay to win from battlegrounds. hence yet another patch that hearthstone remains uninstalled and the wallet remains closed. have a nice day.

The OP says “rolling out today” 5 days ago. I’ve just played a game with a Thief Rogue deck and both of the Sketchy Strangers in my deck still offered me only 2 cards to discover from.
