Commander Bolan in the Dalaran Heist is currently broken. This manifests in two ways.
He will stand idle and never give the player a quest. This happens if you have mana reduction treasures and are able to get multiple creature cards played on your first turn. This part of the bug was first reported here.
If you do not play multiple creatures on your first turn, he WILL correctly give you a quest on his turn. Unfortunately he then gives you a NEW quest on each one of his turns making this encounter nearly impossible to defeat. Eventually you will be fighting Hogger, Bears, and Murlocs (oh my!). All while also trying to defend your Turtles (yes, plural).
Completing any one of the quests he gives does end the encounter, however unless you have something like The Candles in your hand, generally encountering Bolan simply ends the run.
I was quite happy today that they fixed the Bob’s tavern bug (the ok button didn’t work), abd then the very same run was ended because of this bug.
I’m now convinced that they do 0 regression testing. How the heck is it possible that you break all previous content with every patch? I think it’s time to finally drop this game…
Yep, this bug is back in some form or other. Played one minion on turn 1, then dropped Nozdormu the Timeless on turn 2 with Emerald Goggles, proceeded to fill my board with minions and staring down Bolan doing nothing until I got milled to death.
Same. WTH Blizzard? The single player games break constantly with every patch it seems.
Turn one, I play Swashburgler and nothing else. He does nothing, gives me no quest. He just sits there as I pass the turn. I’m forced to lose the run, because blizzard doesn’t test their code. Thanks.
Hi there.
Decided to finish all Heist chapters with all heroes, all HP and all decks. Been a while since I started this challenge.
We’re in 2023 and this bug still hasn’t been fixed : awesome.
First time encountering the boss in the last chapter with the Paladin hero (the last one I need to do) after I’ve beaten more than ~300 * 8 = ~2400 boss encounters this one finally pops up : I’ve never encountered him in any of my runs so far, I was really exited.
Unluckily for me, I had for first passive treasure the almighty coat and made the mistake to play something on my first turn. Bolan bugs out, never gives the quest, Yay.
Please, there are still people that are discovering HS and/or the adventures and the Heist is one of the best there is.
A year after this was reported, this bug is still present. I had a really fun druid treant deck, using Togwaggle’s dice for a change, and my first encounter with this special encounter resulted in him not giving me a quest. Really soured my mood.
Yup, still bugged. Just encountered him on a run where I had Emerald Goggles, but didn’t play a card on my first turn. Never received a quest from him.
