So what appears to be happening is this. You loot a Stolen Hearthstone Card, it triggers the tracking quest for the card contained within for your account, and if you open it right then its all good. But if you trade it to someone you are then locked out of ever receiving that card again because your account is flagged for that tracking quest, even if you trade the card back, you still cant loot it, its just an empty container. I’ve locked myself out of two cards this way making it impossible to get the final achievement “Hearthstone Card Collection”. This is just what appears to be happening with some research on wowhead/my own experience, and may not be exactly the problem. Please fix this ASAP so others/me can achieve this achievement within the limited duration of this event.
Oof. Imagine being nice to your friend that only needed one card and then needing that same card forever because it is literally impossible for you to receive it again due to how this event was programmed.
Also have this issue - please resolve ASAP given limited duration of event.
Have had this issue to - received a card that was ‘No Loot’ when tried to open and now I can’t complete the set with one remaining.
I feel like the same thing is happening to me with Sarge, i traded mine to my wife since she is the avid pet collector so i wanted her to have it first. however 100+ kills later have yet to get a second one.
It’s bizarre that they were even tradeable given how they were coded this way.
it also appears to lock the whole battle.net account and not just individual accounts. cant get any duplicate items on my 2nd account either.
Got this response earlier from a CS rep
“We are aware of some specific issues with the Hearthstone cards being granted by the Stolen Hearthstone Card container. The developers and the QA team are working towards a solution on this matter, regrettably we as support will be unable to provide the missing cards or the achievement.”
So hopefully a fix inc soon
hope so, hope that fix helps with the other items behaving the same way.
Thank you for this. Had my own ticket open in game waiting for a response so hopefully this issue is fixed soon and BEFORE the event ends so people who deleted their unlootable stolen cards can get them to complete the achieve.
I have a similar problem - I accidently deleted the last card though on an alt thinking I could earn it again on the character who had been doing this achievement (I didn’t realize the achievement was account wide). I made a ticket but it is 6 days and the event will be over before then.
This actually isn’t correct - it you open it and delete it like I did - thinking I could earn it again you are still out of luck. The game recognizes it as earned still.
A similar thing is happening with the Sarge pet. I got him very quickly on day 1 and traded him to a friend who has less time for WoW than I do. That friend wound up getting him a day later and could not trade him to me, regardless of the fact that we were in party and it was tradeable, giving an error that I had not tagged the boss, yet I had. I have since had approximately 900 attempts, running many accounts and getting several portals per hour. Sarge will no longer drop for me. I am hoping if they are addressing the card issue, this will be caught at the same time.
The Sarge pet has been fixed. I just got a duplicate. However, it doesn’t appear they fixed the cards. I have tried both doing the game board win and with drops from kills and still nothing.
Can we get some confirmation on blue cards actually dropping from Hearthstone games? Or even the boss for bugged people.
I also believe its still bugged for certain players(post fix, maybe it hasn’t pushed to live yet?)
The devs never did a wipe on the hidden tracking quests related to the cards dropping. As far as I can tell(as well as the addon devs for ATT) the below hidden tracking quests prevent you from looting the same card twice:
q(79407), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Arcane Explosion' card
q(79408), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Pyroblast' card
q(79410), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Preparation' card
q(79417), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Righteousness' card
q(79421), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Chillwind Yeti' card
q(79423), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Grove Tender' card
q(79424), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Abomination' card
q(79426), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Ancient of Lore' card
q(79427), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Hogger' card
q(79429), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Blessing of Kings' card
q(79430), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Forbidden Words' card
q(79431), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Scarlet Crusader' card
q(79459), -- Stolen Hearthstone Card will contain 'Cairne Bloodhoof' card
There’s also an additional hidden tracking quest that triggers and ticks the achievement when you use the card, which of course in my case is not completed, because the first one(above) has triggered preventing me from looting the card in the first place.
Its apparent it works this way because when you first accept the quest “Play Hearthstone” and receive the starter pack, a bunch of hidden quests trigger, BEFORE you have even opened the pack and receive the cards in your bags. When you use the cards another hidden quest triggers and ticks the achievement. I already said that didn’t I.
If you run “/script print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(79408))” and replace the numbers with one from above you can check to see if your account is flagged for a particular card. In my case 79408, and 79431, both return true, meaning I’m flagged from ever receiving those cards again.
I’ll also add that I played roughly 30 games and only ever received green cards. The “fix” is going to need a bit more than just adding part of the loot table to the in game Hearthstone game.
P.S. Just noting that I may be wrong in how this works; I’m not perfect. And yes, just received multiple sarge pets I could trade away.
I won three games and just green cards. I was getting a blue card every kill before so they should be 100% drops.
Yeah the card I am missing shows I have completed it and I never even learned that card.
Using the script, it indeed shows me as “true” for the card I am missing.
And since I have yet to loot it in another 30 kills since it was fixed I’m taking it as they upped Sarge’s droprate and added even crappier cards so players will at least loot something. Doesn’t help me at all.
you don’t need kills.
use the table.
Still looking for confirmation of someone actually getting a stolen card or the actual card from the game. 30 could be in the realm of RNG, but lets hope not.
still broken.
cannot obtain last card. i already had it in my bag. it was a black icon with a red ?. i could not click on it to learn it. just bugged. so i deleted it. when i tried to delete it, it say are you sure you want to delete “Charged Devilsaur” which was the only card i am missing. so i did. and now i cannot get another card to drop.
this has been going on since day 1 of the event. still nothing fixed. what a joke.
Playing tables doesn’t fix the bug.
I’m not sure what part of that people aren’t comprehending.
The game thinks I’ve already looted the card, so it will never drop for me until that bug is fixed. Since this is a one time event that’s time limited, those of us affected should be given the achievement or remove the achievement from every player.
We’re not at fault for something we cannot correct.
