I got a Golden Uther.
I had Uther at 499 Wins, waiting for the day when I could play this game with a friend or partner, in person.
The only way that I could have gotten a Golden Uther Hero Portrait, is if Blizzard changed the Tavern Brawl to be recognized as a Ranked Game.
Please revert.
Thanks.
I’m pretty sure they finally counted the missing wins from back in beta/alpha days.
I remember I played a lot of rogue back then yet for a long time after “release” I had under 50 wins displayed for rogue and even to this day didn’t have golden rogue.
As the patch hit, rogue and 2 others turned golden and rexxar went to 1k wins.
A bit weird that it doesn’t count after 1k though… Now it’s forever stuck at 1k.
I believe the added wins are from Arena, not sure if they have included beta/alpha wins
Also, if you relog, your heroes showing exactly 1000 wins will show the true amount
Might be that too I guess. I did play a lot of arena too on rogue in beta.
It certainly did count all the old arena games on the arena wins achievement. It’s showing 1528 now for me, even though I played maybe 20 games since achievement release.
Not sure where they’re drawing the number from.
In my instance, I had stashed the Druid and Paladin win-count, right around 499, 497, on both. This Year of the Phoenix rotation counted up some win-counts, but, none that I wasn’t already exercising pre-cautions with.
Do you suppose Blizzard offers a statistical analysis, in broad overview with accompanying details, of how to track these win-rates?
They’re supposed to come from Arena wins. Specifically, it used to be that Arena wins didn’t count for golden hero power/alternate portrait, and then that was changed so Arena wins could count. But when the change was originally made, it wasn’t retroactive, so Arena wins prior to that patch didn’t count, only wins after the patch. Patch 20.0 made the Arena change retroactive as well.
Thank you. I was conscious of this at the time? Like, maybe thinking about how that was odd, or, out of place? It sounds like it makes sense, to me.
