Nozdormu Jousting Bug Hotfixed
Blizzard has released a hotfix for the Nozdormu + Joust bug which was allowing players to force their opponent's to skip over their turn due to the Joust animation taking forever.
We've included a video of Kripparrian explaining and displaying the bug in this week's Tavern Brawl in addition to today's hotfixes.

Nozdormu, best glitch source NA/EU/Asia
that bug was good times, i loved seeing videos of people winning just because they skip their opponents turn
First time Nozdormu works only in Tavern Brawl--> fix it next day
Patron Warrior works on competitive play for 5 months--> let's observe it and see if it's broken
Blizzard logic!
Good that the bug is fixed. It is was annoying to lose to that glitch.
The only bug was that someone played Nozdormu!
Will this fix be applied to Heroic Chromaggus playing Nozdormu as well?
Noz's animation's cool, tho.
lets see whats in that lootcrate, maybe a good possibility to celebrate an every month birthday
In case anyone didn't know, on crunchyroll.com ( anime website ) there is this promotion;
"Now through Monday only: Get a FREE Loot Crate with 30-Day Free Trial of Crunchyroll Premium! Sign up at crunchyroll.com/lootcrate."
I have sent a message so they could maybe do a topic or add it to this one so people know about it !
Awesome find man, thank you very much!
You should post this on the forums, while it lasts :)
Thank you, I completely forgot about the forum lol
Have you signed up via the link? Does it says on the website you have the 30 days trial and if so, look at an anime if you have commercials or not ( if there's dot in the video bottom line, it means you have commercial ). If you do and didn't receive the code, I would suggest you to contact their support.
Finally, after 2 years they decide to fix him.
I remember someone on the forum calling it in game mechanics, wut?
I knew it would happen but i'm annoyed at myself now because I crafted noz for this purpose lol. Oh well at least I have him now anyway
Ya cause the Nozdormu Jousting thing would totally work in ranked games so glad that was fixed......was waiting for all the posts did not disappoint.
Sneaky Kripp is sneaky
Joust is the worst offender of animation that you can combo with Noz. Since the back end simply keeps track of individual moves it simply ends one turn and starts another after enough time has passed. The front end has to deal with that and decides to keep finishing animations even though a turn has ended. In order to truly fix this issue Blizzard would need to time all the animations and put that in the back end, such that it can keep track (roughly) of what animations are playing and not begin the next turn until they finish. This would, however heavily complicate the code.
My guess is the simple hotfix they did was add like 5 seconds to the turn timer when a joust is played when Noz is on the board.
That was nice of them to fix Nozdormu in relation to Jousting, but as someone who plays on an older computer, Nozdormu has that effect on me EVERY time he is played. The card animations alone usually take up all of my turn.
Yeah, the problem isn't with Joust, and the fact that they say this is a Joust+Nozdormu bug shows their incompetency with the animations. This has been around since the start, it just wasn't until months ago that people discovered it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8kFktbcC3U
