26.6 Patch Notes

Since the patch the quests didn’t proceed and unfortunately I am on 3 today. :frowning:

Dead devs of dead game…

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

[General] We’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 minute… :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 — all of these under ‘Solo Adventures’, which, accorging to the wording quoted above, are unlocked by unlocking classes. Isn’t there a bit of loop here?

Another FRUSTRATED poster? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: That point about ‘teenagers’ not ironic at all, by the way. :grinning: But I digress… Anyway, while I understand that many people are unhappy with the mode’s removal, myself included, this controversial change was announced somewhat in advance: Introducing Hearthstone’s New Mode: Twist!

PS Yeah, I know, some would consider this a very short notice, there are countries where you’d think even an ambulance must be booked at least one month in advance and so on, but you can’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, who’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 OPINION… Yeah, I know, I’m repeating myself a lot here.

The Twist mode will be changed back to Classic after the test phase I think… but this bunch of teenagers tells me something you are mentioned… maybe that is why every new expansion is worse and worse… too young people are working for the Blizzard on Hearthstone, don’t have enough experience to develop this game… I am sorry to say that… but it seems like every old developers have left this game to it’s fate… the balance is in a horrible state… 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 now… maybe that will change something… I have reached D5 in 3 days (Standard) this month… this is my record from now on… but then reached D3 3 times and nothing… for weeks I can’t even win a single match… This week I couldn’t win 5 matches in standard and this can’t be accident after a progress like this… this is manipulated… And not fun… nothing to do with skills either…

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 should…

No it is not necessarily, but I didn’t talk about competence… I said experience… Competence comes and improves with experience… 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 instead… They create unbalance to make good players blocked, and this is not fair… 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 sometimes… This week I could do weekly win 5 standard matches only in Twisted mode… because standard is just not letting me win 5 games a day… no matter if I play 20 matches… can’t win 5… and that is ridiculous… even if the game is just want to block my progress because not find me worthy for Legend… Ppl are talking about 50% win rate… but it is 75% lose rate now for me… this is not entertaining and not even fair…

You see, Blizzard was investigated by the state and it just so happens a lot of these “old developers” 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!

June’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:

That’s not the point. :grinning: I try to not nitpick about typos and grammar, because I understand, but ‘ridiculous’ 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 I’m away on holiday from the 30th of June for two weeks. Means I’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 don’t need maint it would have been a minimal cost to keep the mode up.

You defend everything Blizzard does, no matter what.

whoever is making these updates, for minion pool removed/added - use pictures.
The people who play your game don’t like it for the names. The only people who know the names of the actual cards are you people who work for Blizzard.
