NA & EU Beta Waves

A wave of beta invites went out to eligible players in the North American and European beta regions today. If you haven't checked your BattleNet email inbox yet, now would be a great time! We've had two large waves of beta invites for two business days in a row now. More may be on the way!

Arena Gold Bug Resolution

Yesterday we announced that there was a pretty nasty gold bug going around that some people have unfortunately caught through playing in the Arena. The issue has been resolved and any players who lost gold due to the bug will be credited gold equivalent to what should have been received. Were you effected by this bug? Let us know how much gold you got back in the comments!

We have identified an issue where some players were not receiving gold from rewards even though the game client indicates that gold was received. This issue should now be resolved and all players that were impacted by this issue will be credited with an amount of gold equivalent to what should have been received. We apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused.

We are currently in the process of going through the impacted accounts, so it will take some time. All impacted accounts for both the North American and European closed beta test will be credited back gold at a later date.

Closed Beta Known Issues

It's been almost a week now since the latest patch, and it's time to take a look at all the annoying bugs that have popped up. If you've been experiencing any problems with Hearthstone that aren't on this list of bugs, be sure to check the technical support forums and see if someone else has reported the issue before submitting it yourself. Helping to report bugs with the game will make sure we see improvements in future patches and the Hearthstone experience will be much better for everyone!

As a reminder, this list will not list every bug that is active and occurring in Hearthstone. What it is listing are a select few issues -- chosen due to severity/impact -- that are active and confirmed as bugs by Quality Assurance with verifiable steps and an expected fix. We have hundreds of bugs in our database, so it would be impossible to list all known issues. Just because a bug is not on this list does not mean we don't know about it! In addition, potential exploits and the like will never be listed here.

Please note that documented bugs may not always be fixed in the order in which they were reported. In some cases, we may not have a timeline for a when a bug will be fixed and some bugs may not be able to be fixed at all. If we are able to verify that a documented bug cannot be fixed, it will be removed from this list. 

Thank you for your continued reports, and enjoy Hearthstone!!!
