Plague Quarter Hotfix Has Arrived
A hotfix will be going out sometime this evening has gone out to fix a number of issues with the Plague Quarter wing. If you paid for the Plague Quarter and didn't receive access, Blizzard is still working on it.
Quote from Glaxigrav6:31 PM EDT Update
Our development team continues to work on the known issues for Hearthstone. These are the latest updates:
- Players who have completed double purchases – We are currently investigating incidents where players were erroneously charged more than once to unlock the new Plague Wing, or were unable to purchase the wing using gold. While this issue no longer seems to be occurring for new purchasers, if your account was previously charged more than once for any purchases, we currently investigating and working to provide reimbursements as appropriate.
- Waiting for Authorization – We are actively working on a resolution for this issue. We don’t currently have an ETA available, but we’ll provide further updates as soon as they are available.
- Purchases complete but wing not unlocked – We are identifying all of the affected accounts and will be working to unlock the Plague Wing for those affected as soon as possible. No ETA is currently available regarding when this process will be complete.
Thank you for your continued patience! Our teams have been working around the clock to address these issues, and we will continue to provide updates as soon as they are available.

Hey all, wanted to provide what information I have for the evening. Our technicians are still working on various issues through the night, but I don't anticipate having any additional information in the near future so this will likely be the last update until tomorrow morning.
The Hotfix to address the purchases getting stuck is now effective on all regions and we have been monitoring them for a bit. The process appears to be moving transactions along more smoothly, however the issue with wings not being unlocked immediately following some purchases is still impacting players.
To clarify on this, Queued status is the state purchases go through once funds are requested from the financial institution (or game services in cases of gold)' and once finalized are considered completed. Purchases may be available during this time, but if your order changes to completed and the wing is still not available, your purchase is impacted by the still-ongoing issue. Once resolved, the wing will be applied to your account as it should be.
Note that not all purchases are impacted, but if your purchase mirrors the above description know that we are working hard to tackle these issues.
Quote from GlaxigravJust received an update from our development teams, who are continuing to work through on the issues mentioned in this thread.
We will be pushing out a hotfix tonight that should address a number of issues that some players are experiencing in regards to purchasing the Plague Quarter. We are also currently working on ensuring the Plague Quarter is granted to those players that have purchased access to it with gold or real money, but these cases are a bit more time consuming to go through, so please bear with us.
Please be assured that if your account was mistakenly charged multiple times for any purchases, the extra charges will be investigated for reimbursement. Thank you for your continued patience as we continue working hard on resolving these issues!
Plague Quarter Heroic Boss Guides
If you need help with the Plague Quarter bosses, on normal or heroic, we've got plenty of proven deck lists you should check out!
First adventure, Next will be better!
There really is a curse of naxxramas...week 1 login/lag issues, week 2 purchase issues, week 3 collection wipe? lol I hope not
Still stuck in queue with the "waiting authorization", purchase history shows that it was in queue, since 7/30/2014. This is pretty bad with all the other bugs that were going around since this wing release.
2 days my stream is down cause of this issue.. i dont want to be a sore loser but damn blizzard.. seriously i am using your gold not some credit card/bank system...
Just recently beat the Plague wing (long live EU problems), felt much-much easier than Arachnid. Here are my somewhat original decks:
This is unique in that it's the thing that makes the business its money compromised for a period of more than 24 hours. Buggy content you've already paid for is one thing, but this is directly hindering the flow of cash, and it's still present for a span pushing 36 hours now in a multi-billion dollar public corp.
Very odd.
Round and round blue loop goes, when it'll stop nobody knows
I have to say... Heroic mode is much easier to defeat using some of the Decks I find on Hearthpwn. Always impressed with your guides!!
Yay!
:( still got an eternal waiting for authorization loop
Sorry to everyone that have had transaction problems. =( If you're still waiting and have nothing better to do, check out the videos on the boss guides pages. I mean the only important ones are mine, but hey, if you want to watch the other ones...that's cool too.
I'm still 1050 gold short and no wing.
still can't play after the fix
so much sad
Me too.It's still stuck on the ''waiting for authorization'' screen
From how badly Blizz manages every release, there were clearly going to be problems buying in the first few hours. I feel like renting extra servers at release time would just fix all these issues. Maybe not, but I bet it would help. How much money do Blizz need to make before they invest more in infrastructure for release times?
Hopefully they hurry up. Nobody likes to feel like they just got scammed.
This is great news!
It would have been better if I could actually play though...
Indeed. I first tried purchasing it at 12:05 am. Took me multiple tries before I got to "Waiting for authorization." It's been waiting for authorization for 22 hours. Did my gold have to go through customs or something, Blizz?
