Bug Fixes
[Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Fate Splitter always gave From De Other Side when summoned by it. Now, if Fate Splitter attacks a minion and dies from that combat, it will give that minion; it will still give From De Other Side if it dies from From De Other Side’s effect.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Y’Shaarj’s Embrace Your Rage hero power only worked from the Y’Shaarj player’s perspective, not their opponent’s.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where the Echoes of Argus Anomaly only worked from on player’s perspective, not their opponent’s.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where some cards had the wrong stats with the Golden Arena Anomaly active.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Ice Block could be offered multiple times in games where the A Faire Reward Anomaly was active.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Baby Kodo didn’t refresh the lobby with a Tier 7 minion (only applicable in games where the Secrets of Norgannon Anomaly is active).
[Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Magnetic minions buffed by the Champion of Sargeras Anomaly wouldn’t keep their buff when Magnetizing.
[Battlegrounds] Emergent Flame’s bonus now resets at the start of your next shop phase, instead of the end of your shop phase.
[Battlegrounds] Fixed various bugs causing disconnects and performance issues.
I know a lot of work goes into these patch notes, but can we start getting more details on exactly the details of the Anomaly and newer cards? Just giving the names without any tooltip or even just the card text next to the name, doesn’t help those of us that aren’t able to memorize all of these new things right away. Also the armor adjustments would be nice to see what they were before to now. I’d rather not have to relay on fan sites for the details if at all possible.
A huge thanks for the work that went into fixing the vast majority of lorebooks in the Book of Faelin adventure!!
One issue I still keep running into is that I get a “collection error” when I try to craft golden Demon Hunter Initiate Set cards (e.g. Mana Burn and Consume Magic). This is even though I have plenty enough dust and have unlocked the non-golden (which is meant to be the prerequisite). See video: https://imgur.com/a/6vUAnUL
Thank you, intern, for putting in some overtime and actually delivering some (can’t expect all at once, even if for years obvious) fixes. At least one person reading the forums and acting upon it, who’d have thought…
You had a deck that infinetely reproduced it’s own spell, damaging you and also charging Denathrius, so if you eventaully get bored of it, you just otk your opponent by playing him. Also, depending on the list you create 8/8s or other garbage that remains sticky due to the deathrattle. And the cost of the spell can be easily reduced by the weapon / overload combo. Genius design.
Way more vulnerable than you think. Only DK has a hard time with it.
The issue I have come to many times. is that Fate has the deathrattle it does.
Don’t call it a bug when it’s a design error.
Its vulnerability doesn’t change anything, it was a bug.
Fate Splitter should give the card that killed it back to hand. When a minion kills it it should give the minion that killed it, not from From De Other Side.
Depends on if you ask the designer or the programmer. Therefore I asked for their POV why they think it’s a bug. depending on how they see it. from my view, FDOS told it to kill itself after attacking. that’s the wording on the cards. Therefore it was already marked dead from the FDOS before reaching 0 from any other source. but as I have no insight into the code. I can only ask from them why they consider it a bug and not a design error.
It can or can’t be a bug. Rules are sometimes tricky, and very much at their whim when weird interactions arise.
But if it’s a bug, it MUST be listed first in the “known issues list” for people to know beforehand.
Another disgusting change to cater to a bunch of whining babies. Fate Splitter was working exactly as the text reads and exactly as designed and completely consistent with similar effects. And to try to disguise this as a bug fix is even more insulting. This is clearly a change to the functionality of the card. Gnomesayin, you are a LIAR!! I pray that you and those who made this change rot in the nether for all eternity. I spit on thee!!!
The cards say/mean what they want them to say/mean for as long as they want them to.
They can’t lie, because everything is a “forward looking statement,” which means they "thought it was true when they said it, but subject to change later when they feel like it. Lawyerspeak for “we do whatever we want, and if you keep paying us…LOL.”
Scummy mega corps being scummy; all of this has happened before and will happen again.
