Update 9:25 PM EST: Packs have begun to go out. It could take some time for them to go out to everyone.
Tri-Class Card Drop Rates Fixed - Affected Players Will Receive 33% of Packs Opened as Compensation
The bug with tri-class cards having a higher than intended drop-rate has been fixed!
- The hotfix for this issue went live at 2:30 PM PST.
- You will only receive compensation for packs opened prior to the hotfix.
- Compensation is equal to 33% of the number of packs you opened.
- Other regions will not see this bug as it will be fixed before Gadgetzan is activated on them.
- It has not yet been determined when exactly the compensation packs will be delivered. They're working "as quickly as possible".
Quote from CM_ZeriyahGreetings,After the launch of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan on the Americas server, we discovered a bug with Mean Streets of Gadgetzan card packs that unintentionally made the drop rate of tri-class cards higher than intended. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
A hotfix was rolled out to all players on the Americas server at 2:30PM PST, which corrects this issue. Players on the Americas server will now see tri-class cards appear at a drop rate that is consistent with other cards of their rarity.
Any player on the Americas server who opened Mean Streets of Gadgetzan packs before 2:30PM PST will receive additional Mean Streets of Gadgetzan packs as compensation. The affected players will receive 33% of the total amount of Gadgetzan packs opened before 2:30PM PST, rounded up, to a minimum of one, regardless if the player acquired packs through gold, Quests, or real money. Since cards are generated upon pack opening and not pack purchase, packs purchased before the hotfix but opened after the hotfix will not experience this bug and will not be a part of the compensation roll out.
For example, if a player opened their 50 pack pre-purchase bundle before 2:30PM PST, they will receive 17 additional packs. (33% of 50) If a player opened one pack of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan cards and completed a Quest that awards two packs before 2:30PM PST, they will receive one additional pack. (33% of 3) If a player opened 47 packs before 2:30PM PST, and 23 packs after 2:30PM PST, they will receive 16 additional packs. (33% of 47 affected packs)
This fix will also be added to the release of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan before packs are available to open in all other regions, so players will not be affected by this bug when Mean Streets of Gadgetzan goes live in their region.
We are currently working on when the compensation will be applied to affected players. We will provide additional updates as they become available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
Well a bunch of extra Epics and Inkmaster Solia ain't bad.
80 opened packs,29 bonus.
Almost all Leg from classes ,pretty satisfied.
THX Blizzard
I'm a little jealous of the NA players now.. they pretty much got a third card packs for free because they got to keep everything they opened in their previous packs. Damn :/
49 bonus packs, got 3 legendaries, 1 golden. Thanks Blizzard!
I want the 100% :-)
If they don't know about it it's not a fraud.
If you have clues they did it on purpose so don't wait and get refund.
It could be a bug or it could be insane rng, but I opened my firat 15 packs and got ONLY minimum, like not even golden commons only the minimum, I ain t opening any more for now.
I opened 51 packs and got 6 Legends. I'm happy
The extra packs I got from this gave me both a normal and a golden version of Auctionmaster Beardo. Dilemma. If it were a super cool legendary, I'd just keep the golden (I also got golden Raza in my first patch of packs, and I would keep it even if I'd gotten it non-golden). Beardo's in a weird place where it might not be unplayable, I could see it being useful in a couple decks (could work in Shadow Priest Raza).
well if it wasn't for all those packs this might not have been blown wide open. maybe.
90 Packs from Preorder and purchase after expansion dropped. Logged back in and got 30 free packs. More golden cards and 1 new legendary and enough dust to get 2 legendaries. At least they admitted an issue and fixed it.
I think this is kind of bogus. While customer service needs to be met. The legendary pity timer wasn't impacted. This means that players will average a few extra legendary's and a lot of rares and epics just because,
So because I was working and not home to open packs I should now be punished for the time put in to build 15k gold while others get a ton of bonus packs and dust and legendary's for being able to login at the correct time.
This is more like being rewarded for nothing.
I am glad players received comp but it was a blizzard error and it unfairly rewards a small segment of players. This honestly should just have been rolled out to everyone,
So players down voted me for being too socialist on this or they just don't like sharing with everyone?
everyone who opened packs gets compensation. what do you need compensation for if you didnt even open any packs?
Purchased 110 packs thru preorder and gold.
Opened 34 before i found out about the bug and stopped. Opened the rest after the hotfix plus the 6 from the intro quests and then the 12 compensation packs.
22 epics (no triplicates) and 5 legendaries but really only got 2. I always manage to get duplicates or triplicates on launch day sadly. 1200 dust...
Did manage for the first time to get every common duplicated and all but 1 rare duplicated. Normally Im having to craft about 10, only 1 this time.
I'm shocked Blizzard actually did this. That is some kickass customer service. Thanks Blizzard for the bonus packs!
Well i opened 138 packs during the bug, got three legendaries,
received 46 packs for compensation and got two legendaries.
it's awesome for compensation but other users on other servers will be mad about this affecting only NA for 5:30 hours.
Hope something will be done for them,
because it is unfair, but I benefited from it ... and it's not cool for everyone
