  • [Hearthstone] The Replicator-inator will no longer summon a copy of a Magnetic minion that is being Magnetized.

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where The Replicator-inator didn’t work properly with cards that changed a minion’s Attack as it was played (for instance, The Crystal Cove). Those effects will now apply and then The Replicator-inator will check if it should copy the minion.

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Sock Puppet Slitherspear didn’t gain attack from player weapons.

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Gigantic Toysnatching Geist could Discover Toysnatching Geist.

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where drawing Headless Horseman’s Head doubled the amount of Health gained from The Primus’s Runes of Blood Ability.

  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where minions buffed by Nalaa the Redeemer didn’t receive health buffs from Slitherspear, Lord of Gains.

  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Winged Chimera lost its effect when tripled with Elemental of Surprise.

Why no jandice with elementals or nagas?

how about you stop limiting heros for using certain tribes with their hero power. you did this before with jandice and brann when pogo was in the game. you did it with voljin before with naga.

so what if they can use the ability to improve their minions. that is part of the game.

until you fix quils and murlocs and remove their either thousands of stats or their poison, stop nerfing other tribes just trying to stay relevant

Jandice was huge with Shellemental, you could send your giant minions to the shop, use the spellcraft on it, and then take them back, among other shenanigans

because of the tav 5 elem/naga that moves stats from shop to a random minion on board. people would just use the hero power to put their largest minion in the shop and the spell for the t5 minion would put the stats back on a minion, rinse and repeat.

I see, disappointed i missed out on that, seems fun af.

I mean why even bother with this i have literally seen quils in the thousands and not just like 1k or 2k but i have seen their health get upwards of 5k and that wasnt even them being done i just left before it could get any higher. And honestly it wouldnt even be hard to fix make the new 6 drop only be ether every other end of turn or make it so it only happens at the start of the turn so you miss the first turn you get him and he cant combo with enchater.

What about iPad bug where battlegrounds rating is still showing as zero?

Elementals kinda make sense as the tavern stat battlecries were worth spamming. But you right, Curators whole gimmick is supposed to be he works with anyone and yet I swear he’s banned from at least 3 tribes this is getting outta hand!
As for why Jandice specifically… Honestly I think Jandice and Madame Goya were the only reason people complained about Orc-hestras or the Menari Messenger, in no other picture does anyone run into them enough logically outside of them, rather than make obscure minions even more obscure for these heroes they just decide to cut out the middle man and make the heroes themselves more obscure.

12

Imagine banning Jandis when it’s the only hero that can potentially play elementals.

Epic braindead move from blizzard as usual.

Then, where are nerfs to pigs? Every clown rushes 6 tawern in order to find all pigs to instawin the game. Very funny gaiming blizztard.

when are you gonna fix 1000 wins and taver regular new skins ?

Little bit off topic here but why half my games I roll 20 times before a single tier 5 appears in my shop? Every other game I insta lose because shop is garbage. Shouldn’t it be that if I’m at tier 5 I should see tier 5s in the shop and have to waste my entire turn looking for a single tier 5?

15

I keep reading these patch notes waiting for an actual nerf to unending value cards like Deepminer Brann not the OMG it costs one more mana. Still broken asf. They just have to wait one more turn to get to broken asf status. Also, still puzzled why they took away feasible counters to highlander decks. That definitely needs to be changed back. There shouldn’t be things out there that last forever/can’t be countered/can’t be interacted with. So somebody plays Brann and I’m supposed to smash my head into the keyboard for the rest of the game? GG

Will you ever fix the bug with Wickerclaw and Sing Along Buddy?

Oops, forgot to pin this. Sorry folks.

Hey @GnomeSayin not sure how to report a bug but there seems to be one on both Android and iOS but not desktop where we cannot open the friends list and chat on mobile without the game freezing and having to close it. No chat is possible on mobile currently for me and a few friends.

You’d just make a post in the bug report forums, but thanks, we’ve got this on our radar.
