Ranked Ladder Returns! Players to Receive 3 Kobolds & Catacombs Packs Next Week
The ladder has returned! We can stop spamming the forums and go back to playing our Aggro Paladin variants.
Blizzard is providing compensation to all players in the form of 3 Kobolds & Catacombs packs to be distributed next week through the Battle.net gifts interface. Some accounts may also have received additional stars in ranked.
Quote from AratilWe have implemented a hotfix for the issue that was affecting Ranked Play in all Hearthstone regions. To properly assess the scope of the issue, we had to temporarily disable Ranked Play while we worked on the hotfix. As part of the restoration process, some accounts may have received additional stars.
We understand this kind of downtime is disappointing for our community, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we’d like to offer everyone three Kobolds and Catacombs card packs. These card packs will be distributed next week and can be redeemed via the Gifting function either on the Battle.net Desktop App or by logging into your Battle.net account on your mobile device.
Everything should be working properly now and you can once again resume climbing the ladder in Ranked Play. We’re sorry for the disruption to your play experience and greatly appreciate your patience while we sorted it out!
did we get rewards for february?
Yep! If you didn't get a popup in-game, check your collection for stuff flagged as "New".
Nice. Not only is it the highest rank we've ever started a season but we also got bonus stars and packs. Not to mention there are other modes now we can use now while not playing ranked for 24 hrs. GG
And, may I add, as part of the restoration process further tweaking (or whatever), some will also lose a part of the stars they had received at first.
Case in point: without playing any ranked game, some hours ago I had 10 stars more than I was supposed to, now I have "only" 5 more. Hey, I'm not complaining, after all it's still 5 free stars (not to mention the 3 packs)!
But I do hope that the new system has indeed converged and stabilized by now. This sort of emotional yo-yo, going up and down, is taxing my old heart ;)
Ah good, they remembered the free packs.
...oh yeah, and Ranked is back. Man that was a scary 24 hours.
Anyway, PTR! GET ONE!
We get balance patches or patches in general so rarely that it's not worth making a PTR. I doubt anyone would play on PTR at all, maybe just the pro's.
Free packs FeelsGoodMan
Wow, this was messed up.
So I should be Rank 6 5 Stars
In the first login I was Rank 6 0 stars
After first hotfix rank 4 5 stars
Now Im Rank 5 1 Star
I guess, I'll take it
Can I just say I love it when blizzard breaks the game. Literally, I just felt joy when I heard ladder was broken because I knew that meant free stuff.

AKA you're a bad person :P
(I'm one to talk; I don't really care about Ranked, but I'll take the free
120 dustthree packs)Thanks for the three packs and 5 stars!
not so good but i will take it
I don't know why most of the people cant understand that :D. I totally agree with you.
This is BS we want more free stuff
This comment is BS, we want less of them.
That wild pie romancer's burn ...!
