🔥 36.6 - Highlights & Known Issues

[Vyraneer]

Greetings, friends!

Patch 36.6 is here! As a reminder, this will be our Highlights and Known Issues thread for the whole Escape from Violet Hold cycle.

Please find below some of the issues we’re tracking, with updates to follow as we learn more.

Thanks for your help raising any potential issues as you come across them!

Highlights & Info

• Tricksy Improviser displays different stats in the Theorycrafting client - this is not intended; there are no changes to the card. The version currently in live game is the correct one.

---

• [Bans] These will be added to the drop-down menu below (the list is also mirrored here). If your Arena deck contains a banned card, you will need to retire it manually (your ticket should be refunded).

Hearthstone Standard/Wild Bans

• [Wild] Grove Shaper, Godfrey the Betrayer

Battlegrounds Bans

• Trinkets: Both Kiri’s Double Eclipse Trinkets, Minion Bait.
• Minions: Gentle Djinni.

Arena Bans

This jail is empty.

Note: If your deck contains a banned card (you will see it with a reddish hue), you will need to retire. You will receive the rewards obtained until that point, and the cost of the run will be refunded to you. The Tickets will be added directly to your account.

Tavern Brawl Bans

This jail is empty.

Note: If your deck contains a banned card (you will see it with a reddish hue), you will need to retire. You will receive the rewards obtained until that point, and the cost of the run (2 Tickets) will be refunded to you if applicable. The Tickets will be added directly to your account.

Tracked Issues

- Now split by type -

HEARTHSTONE / WILD

• Tess Greymane can’t replay herself after playing a hero card from another class.
• Pogo-Hopper can fail to add the correctly incremented stats each time it’s played.
• Silenced Titan minions cannot attack when playing on mobile (and must be clicked to select, then clicked to target, rather than dragged when playing on desktop).
• Isiset’s effect currently in the library is not correct; please refer to this blog post for the correct card’s effect.
• Mismatched ownership of minions on board after triggering Typhoon.
• The Haunt spell is occasionally behaving like an Aura

BATTLEGROUNDS

• [Mobile] It is not always possible to target cards on the right side of your hand with discard activate effects. We’re investigating.
• Kiri’s Double Eclipse prevents newly discovered hero powers from working. Both Trinkets will be banned for now.
  No link (please see the highlights) this time but a fancy image for ease of reference, as these Trinkets are new.
  
  

BRAWL / ARENA

• [Arena] Game may freeze if Jotun, the Eternal draws a spell with Herald in Arena.

COLLECTION/WEB/UI/SHOP/ACHIEVEMENTS/DECKS

• [Collection] Stats/card text for C’Thun, Eye of the Empire and Isiset are incorrect in patch 36.6.3. Accurate versions are in the announcement blog.
• [Black Market] Following an attempted fix for some transactions getting stuck, we continue to see issues and are still working on additional improvements.
• [Black Market] Modes other than Ranked Hearthstone incorrectly display Bloodstone gains (none is actually received, as intended).
• [Collection] The how-to-acquire text for Vanessa the Ringleader is incorrect and should read: “Earnable after opening an Escape from Violet Hold card pack.”
• [UI] Diamond ‘Ultraxion’ animation is replaced with Golden if certain Dark Gift is applied
• [Shop] Some bundles are offered to players that already have them.
• [Collection] Scholar Jaina’s skin is not properly displayed in the Choose Your Deck window.
• [Collection] Multiple cards have lost their golden animation.

• • Packs are back in the shop, at the intended price.

All my packs in the prerelese brawl was lost city pack now it doesnt let me start a new one

[Raiden-1139]

Dive into the Golakka Depths is NOT banned in the brawl, just lost to paladin using it, will not progress further until it’s fixed.

[Thehunter-22917]

Timelord Nozdormo does not awaken sooner when a card from the new expansion is played in tavern brawl

[KhaosVFL-1760]

Im having some kind of weird bug on mobile. I have a 3 loss reward chest pop up that is empty and I have no way of getting past it to play the new event stuff. Im on android and the chest is from right before the update I played a bad mage deck got 3 losses in a row and now it just pops up congratulations with a chest thats empty and no way past it. Plz fix it. I have already cleared my phone cache and even re-downloaded the whole game and its still popping up.

[Kazukaki-2720]

In arena i choose mage and pick his quest. Card for 2 mana hidden objects don’t discover a card. And that card not triggered quest. "Because of that, I lost the game, and I’d like to ask for compensation — two arena tickets that I spent

[warblo-2815]

I have the exact same same issue on Android mobile. Got a empty chest, but still got rewards, (after i restartet the game) but old exp packs, i Played before update, i have opened them, and the new from, the crono event, that got released after update… but i am stuck at a empty chest now to, and cant get passed it.

[RoadRaster02-2401]

I have a reward chest that is empty and prevents me to play the pre release brawl. i have already recieved the rewards from my previous brawl, but now i can’t start with a new deck. i think the game started to update as soon as i claimed the rewards, but the animation of the chest hadn’t started yet. please fix, i also tried to uninstall and reinstall but the chest is still there

[del-12351]

chest bug after playing tavern brewl… cant start a other game… did everything uninstall clear cache… not working

[Zay-11121]

I have a bug where I try to play the pre-release brawl and i am stuck on a congratulations screen showing a chest. I open the chest and nothing ever comes out of it and now I cannot play the pre-release brawl at all because the screen is stuck and there is no way to bypass it or stop it from occuring. I have tried switching regions, restarting the client, logging in and out, and on mobile and PC. Both have yielded the same result. I am barred from playing pre-release tavern brawl and I can’t do anything about it. Is there anyway to fix this?

[häya-2330]

Idem pour moi dommage ce genre de bug pour un pré-lancement…

[Vyraneer]

Folks, if you’re stuck on the Pre-Release Brawl reward screen, please check the updates in the first post of this thread (Highlights and Info), and follow the thread linked there. Thank you!

[Dean87-2211]

I had a card chosen for the brawl that now is banned from the brawl so i cannot continue my run or edit my deck. It was the paladin murloc quest.

[РыцарьТени-21684]

What about the issues that existed before the patch? I, like some others, never received my two packs for 10 wins (the “Choose Your Champion” sub-requirement). And no, the answer that “It only worked in Standard” doesn’t count — it’s explicitly stated several times on the website:

Want a bonus you can count on? Lock in 10 Ranked wins during the promotional period & earn 2 more Lost City of Un’Goro card packs!

Go all-in? Extra bonus! Win 10 Ranked games during the promotional period & earn 2 additional Lost City of Un’Goro packs!

Additionally, players who win 10 Ranked games in Hearthstone during the Voting Period will win an additional two card packs from The Lost City of Un’Goro expansion.

The conditions are written three times, and not a single word is written about the fact that this is only about the standard mode, and the wild ranked wouldn’t count.

[Boom-15583]

Issues with hero skins:

1.Diamond Genn Greymane appears blurry/jagged on mobile.(Alternatively, all Diamond skins appear blurrier on mobile devices compared to the PC version.)

2 .Arachnid Kerrigan’s in-combat avatar background incorrectly uses regular Kerrigan’s purple background on mobile and is missing its unique arrogant head-shaking entrance animation.

Thank you for your hard work. The display issue with Diamond Genn Greymane has been fixed, but the bug with Arachnid Kerrigan still persists. Please resolve it as soon as possible.

My phone models are: Samsung S23, S25U, and iQOO Neo10 Pro+. I’ve asked several friends, and they have also encountered this bug. Therefore, I suspect this bug is widespread rather than limited to specific models.

[Palito-11447]

Rewind effects are still causing disconnections, but now, the sound is turned off permanently

[plastiik-21340]

Did a mage draft in underground arena.

After that I pressed “play” and it said “the selected deck is not valid for this game mode”. I checked my deck and the card “hidden objects” is marked as banned. How can I fix?

[Capnmunch-11360]

Alternate Reality doesn’t seem to be working in the pre-release brawl. My cards got discounted but not transformed.

[Tyrskorn-2108]

Thanks Capnmunch, this is a known issue that we’re hoping to be able to fix with the 34.0.1 hotfix.

Added for tracking!

[MrTriforcien-2286]
