Not a bad review in general, I guess, Iā€™d recommend it re the miniset value etc.

Here Iā€™m gonna quote something particular from it, although the point isnā€™t new:

Twist Update ā€“ A ā€œnewā€ Twist season launches in February by adding Unā€™goro to the mix, just like it was last time during Wonders seasons. After that, the Twist will ā€œbe on hiatusā€ again with more info coming in the futureā€¦ Yeah. If thatā€™s not a sign they gave up on it then I donā€™t know what is.

Well, I supposeā€¦ Besides, lemme underline: the mysterious February season that they promised has turned out to be the same as the previous iteration. Who would have thoughtā€¦ :smirk:

Another point from the patch notes:

Event Hero skins not earned through the event will be available in the in-game Shop after the event ends.

If I were to hazard a guess, judging by previous experience, they might be available for ā€˜rune$tone$ā€™ only ā€” watch out.

A few other points which Iā€™ve personally found interesting, Iā€™ll leave them here for further reference:

What elseā€¦ Name changes for some cards ā€” sounds interesting, if memory serves, it hasnā€™t happened for a long timeā€¦ since some infamous and controversial updates like that [1], [2].

Loaner decks ā€” no details yet.

It took them months to nerf Ethereal Oracle and all they did was increase the cost by one mana. What a game changer :roll_eyes:

All meta-relevant plays with it will be off by one turn. Any other change would kill the card. Cycle Rogue and Asteroid Shaman are gross decks but they are using the intended function of the card

Tutoring two spells is OP. That was what should have been nerfed. Reduce that to one and itā€™s still a good card. Not great. Just good.

That would make it worse in many cases. E.g. OTK lynessa often has to wait for an extra round to even have the required other cards, so wasting 1 mana to use oracle would be preferable to not pulling the required spells with the spellburst.

i think the nerf to oracle is bad - getting rid of the spell damage was a better way since this card is good card draw for classes who lack it and for classes who donā€™t lack it it provides too much utility.
this is nerf for paladin and shaman.

it would be good to adjust incindious to not hit face but buff the base damage to 2.

asteroids could work like plagues - they reshuffle and have 2 option a) deal damage to a random enemy minion b) put a random small impact card to your hand.

i would love to see nerf to yog saron.
he casts 3 spells. why would this nerf the card you ask well he casts them BEFORE he acts. so if he feels suicidal well you just wasted 10 mana on possibly nothing.

can we buff velen? i mean currently he shuffles amalgams so it would be better if he shuffled himself (adaptive amalgam)

I disagree with your other suggestions, but making Incindius not hit face is a good idea.

Technically yes, but it would make it a boring card. And those Devs are dumb who look on the surface aesthetics mainly.

Itā€™s obvious why the card exits. Asteroids raining down on you was supposed to be a ā€œcool lookingā€ signature.

Hey all, two updates to this patch as it goes live:

  1. Carefree Cookie isnā€™t part of Gruntyā€™s Murloc poolā€“heā€™s too busy lounging in a pool of his own.
  2. Weā€™ve added a bug fix to the patch notes: ā€˜Fixed a bug where Kalimos, Primal Lordā€™s Invocation of Fire could damage the enemy hero when tripled by Shudderblock.ā€™ Weā€™ve identified a couple other cards that should also fall into this category of interactions to get fixed, but will get those in an upcoming patch.

Why is it considered a bug fix if this was confirmed as the intended behavior in the past ?

is it too much to hope the ā€œMisc. other bug fixes and game improvementsā€ includes a fix for the constant game crashes?

I will check the forums later, look for a response and then start playing HS again.

good luck to those who have been afflicted with this bug.

Youā€™re not describing 1 bug. There are hundreds of ways for the game to crash, and not all of them are because of bugs.

Can we get a fix for all the broken PVE content? Maybe an update to the cards to? I mean you guys are taking a lot of money from people buying stuff. Canā€™t you use some of it to spend a little time correcting mistake that were made years ago? Instead of making adjustments that have no real game impact. Constant crashing, disconnects, game freezing. These are all the same bugs that have been in the game for years. I donā€™t think this is an unreasonable request from someone who has spent years and invested a lot of time in the game. I enjoy it but it could be a little better.

Can you fix the resolution bug please? A lot of people canā€™t play Battlegrounds atleast somewhat ok without changing down the resolution and then being able to go fullscreen.
I literally cannot play the game when this doesnā€™t work. It just goes back to max resolution instantly.

And misspelled it as ā€˜Kalminosā€™ there.

Wouldnā€™t be wrong to correct the typo, I suppose.
