Just a response from someone from Acti-Blizz would be great. At this point I just want to know what their take on this is.
From personal experience, and as you mentioned, there has been probably about 5 different Solo Adventures for which retroactive credit was not provided.
The difference is that is that in this case, Diablo is a limited time event, so maybe they’ll be more mindful.
I find it odd that Duels has a corresponding achievement (albeit bugged) for Diablo, but Battlegrounds has no such similar achievement.

It would be too good if they retroactively gives it… I have already went 12-0 with diablo so that would be great but probably not the course of actions they will take. I hope it gets removed at this point for a lot of reasons such as it was bugged for almost all the duration of the event, bgs didnt event bother adding one so why duels should… and the final reason is diablo event kinda scked in both duels and bgs ( in bgs too strong now and ruin experience, in duels kinda too weak and bugged).
Blizzard please at least give us an answear… or read this lol!
Diablo will be removed on Tuesday. I don’t know what it means for achievement.
EDIT: They mentioned only Battlegrounds, but might forgot to mention Duels.
That’s for Battlegrounds. This wasn’t announced for Duels.
True… Just saying that they might forgot to mention Duels.
I know that bugfix in patch 22.0 didn’t mentioned fixing Diablo Achievements. Can someone check this?
They mentioned on Twitter that they failed to fix the bug and won’t fix it before Diablo gets removed next week. Apparently it will come back again (I assume next year Halloween) and you can earn it then, although it won’t work retroactively.
Personally I would want my Time and Dust compensated. I know they won’t do it, but they deserve all the negative feedback we can muster up. If they would have said it early on I’d be okay, but 4 weeks of exactly ZERO communication and then 1 week before the nex texpansion “whoops sorry guys, maybe next year” while people spend time and maybe dust and/or money getting the achievement that was never attainable, is honestly pretty bull$%@!.
Really big L for Blizzard.
Do You have a link to that tweet?
Links are not allowed here. It’s from one of their Data analysts on, you can look up Daniel Duffin (@fusrohdaniel)
Or here the tweet(s):
“For Duels achievement hunters, I’m sorry to say the Diablo achievement issue wont be fixed before he leaves Duels. We did our best, but just couldn’t get it fixed in time. We do have a fix planned, and when Diablo returns to Duels his achievements will work, thread on why: 1/5”
“Diablo represented a large system change, and he needed new achievement tech. Unfortunately this issue was pretty complicated as it involved systems outside of Duels, and with the Mercenaries launch our entire team was really busy, the holiday break didn’t help either tbh, 2/5”
“It was ambitious, we swung for the fences with new tech. But it was the right call for the mode, we’d rather get it in eventually then not at all. This was why Battlegrounds didn’t do achievements for Diablo, and now that he’s leaving early that was the right call for them. 3/5”
“Not everyone’s got a huge collection, or excited about achievements. But Duels players often have a ton of cards and care a lot about those 12 win runs. We really wanted to include recognition for them, and reward those players for a really difficult, special accomplishment. 4/5”
“We weren’t sure if the fix would make it in before Diablo was scheduled to leave. We tried, but we barely missed it. We haven’t announced when Diablo is leaving Duels, but I wanted to share this info so player expectations are better, and the disappointment isn’t a surprise. 5/5”
Thank You. That was nice of You.
Hey devs, how about putting some resources into YOUR GAME THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT!
STOP DUMPING RESOUCES INTO FAILED MERCSTONE AND FIX THE NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH HEARTHSTONE, INCLUDING THIS ONE!
sincerely,
the actual hearthstone players
Sometimes I’m not wondering why I am still playing.
