26.6 Patch Notes

OMG! You guys just erased the Classic without waiting until the month ends?? I was about to hit the legend and that was all about the fun. I was so busy with work the last few days and I thought I had some time until the end of the month. I did not think you would be that disrespectful to delete the mod without waiting until the month ends. I am uninstalling this game and I will never play it again. Such disrespectful behavior! Who runs this company, a bunch of teenagers?

Since the patch the quests didnā€™t proceed and unfortunately I am on 3 today. :frowning:

Dead devs of dead gameā€¦

Extremely sad that you did not fix the mage secret discover bug which crashes the game on mobile every time.

[General] Weā€™ve moved Tavern Brawl to the main menu and moved Mercenaries to the Modes button. Tavern Brawl, Mercenaries, and all other Modes are now unlocked by unlocking all Hearthstone classes.

(Highlighted by me)

Wait a minuteā€¦ :thinking: The DK class used to be unlocked by completing the Prologue, dunno about the DH now, and the rest of the original classes except Mage were originally unlocked by defeating them in Practice mode ā€” all of these under ā€˜Solo Adventuresā€™, which, accorging to the wording quoted above, are unlocked by unlocking classes. Isnā€™t there a bit of loop here?

Another FRUSTRATED poster? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: That point about ā€˜teenagersā€™ not ironic at all, by the way. :grinning: But I digressā€¦ Anyway, while I understand that many people are unhappy with the modeā€™s removal, myself included, this controversial change was announced somewhat in advance: Introducing Hearthstoneā€™s New Mode: Twist!

PS Yeah, I know, some would consider this a very short notice, there are countries where youā€™d think even an ambulance must be booked at least one month in advance and so on, but you canā€™t fit every single culture. I could concede that they might have warned about such a significant change a bit earlier, though.

But yeah, one should have expected someone, whoā€™s probably not much into reading, to throw a tantrum, because Blizzard failed to deliver a personal dancing and lip-syncing video in TikTok to him or her, since they are all so special and have an OPINIONā€¦ Yeah, I know, Iā€™m repeating myself a lot here.

The Twist mode will be changed back to Classic after the test phase I thinkā€¦ but this bunch of teenagers tells me something you are mentionedā€¦ maybe that is why every new expansion is worse and worseā€¦ too young people are working for the Blizzard on Hearthstone, donā€™t have enough experience to develop this gameā€¦ I am sorry to say thatā€¦ but it seems like every old developers have left this game to itā€™s fateā€¦ the balance is in a horrible stateā€¦ OR the MM and the manipulated mechanics should be changed to not let good players progress blocked for weeks. I have real hopes for Twist mode nowā€¦ maybe that will change somethingā€¦ I have reached D5 in 3 days (Standard) this monthā€¦ this is my record from now onā€¦ but then reached D3 3 times and nothingā€¦ for weeks I canā€™t even win a single matchā€¦ This week I couldnā€™t win 5 matches in standard and this canā€™t be accident after a progress like thisā€¦ this is manipulatedā€¦ And not funā€¦ nothing to do with skills eitherā€¦

Age is not necessarily correlated with competence. I could name some other factors with which the developers apparently compensate for the lack of the latter, but I dunno if I shouldā€¦

No it is not necessarily, but I didnā€™t talk about competenceā€¦ I said experienceā€¦ Competence comes and improves with experienceā€¦ People are focusing on balance but I think there is a bigger problem with the manipulated mechanics behind the game which are forcing you to lose and make your progress blocked. They should do something with this insteadā€¦ They create unbalance to make good players blocked, and this is not fairā€¦ It is a real frustration when the game is using my matches to let others go up and giving no chance to win for weeks sometimesā€¦ This week I could do weekly win 5 standard matches only in Twisted modeā€¦ because standard is just not letting me win 5 games a dayā€¦ no matter if I play 20 matchesā€¦ canā€™t win 5ā€¦ and that is ridiculousā€¦ even if the game is just want to block my progress because not find me worthy for Legendā€¦ Ppl are talking about 50% win rateā€¦ but it is 75% lose rate now for meā€¦ this is not entertaining and not even fairā€¦

You see, Blizzard was investigated by the state and it just so happens a lot of these ā€œold developersā€ u mentioned were involved :stuck_out_tongue:

classic was the only game mode i played, for so long, i just got diemond on it, did not know it was going to get removed, do i at least get the rank rewards for it? why not keep it and just add an extra gamemode? no one asked for this twist thing, it is a waste of gold or money for everyone, stop ignoring your community, it is so annoying.

Ridiculous I say. Ridiculous!

Reading skills still rule, you know!

Juneā€™s ranked rewards will be based on your highest ladder rank across Standard, Wild, Classic, or Twist.

Very sad to see Classic go. Hopefully they bring it back at some point.

Thank you, english is not my mother tongue and it was a long time ago when I was a student. :slight_smile:

Thatā€™s not the point. :grinning: I try to not nitpick about typos and grammar, because I understand, but ā€˜ridiculousā€™ is such an overused word on these forums that I link that particular topic, which is making fun of that trend, on many an occasion. :grinning:

This is all great but Iā€™m away on holiday from the 30th of June for two weeks. Means Iā€™ll miss out on drops and events.

Twist mode is same garbage like all game, you doing nothing for balance and you thing somebody will buy your next expansion?

Can always count on Boreas to chime in a defend Blizzard when they make a bad call.

  1. There were not long queues, 2) The solution to bots should not be "get rid of the entire format 3) Plenty of people played and since the cards donā€™t need maint it would have been a minimal cost to keep the mode up.
