Daily Quests Fixed! The 50 and 60 Gold Quests Have Returned
A hotfix went out earlier to resolve an issue with daily quests in Hearthstone where players were unable to receive quests that were worth more than 40 gold.
Quote from BlizzardWe are aware of an issue where certain Quests are not correctly added to the random Quest pool. A hotfix will go out today to address this.The hotfix is now live!
It's probably not the popular view, but I do believe them that it was unintended.
There's not many people who are now going to spend real money to buy the adventure that otherwise wouldn't because of a 20 gold (ballpark guess) a day shortfall per server account for a week or less. And it's clear everyone would notice the lack of the better quests.
Bad PR for little to no gain for them.
But I do agree it seems to be pretty bad development testing methodology. Having worked in IT I know it might not be the developers/testers fault if management ignored their warnings/gave them not enough time and they said it wasn't fully tested but were told to make associated changes anyway (I've had that done to me before!).
How can you call buying pack like "lost gold for several packs"?
Really several packs?
Even if the 50-60 quests had not being fixed in 30 days and you only got 40 gold quest and rerolled them all to 60 gold quest.
That would mean 20 * 30 gold = 600 g = 6 packs. I doubt that you have missed that much.
Gave me the 100g quest, what nice of him.
Now if we can just get a "bug" for a couple of days giving us just 100/80 gold quests...
Nice, still got 40g quest today :/
Same here, feels bad man :(
After the Hotfix -> Daily Quest 60g and reroll another 60g Quest, coincedence? :D
It is weird to see people fret over such things. Demanding compensations like they had some contract or their income was at risk, or their health and sanity were hurt. Also, it is weird how paranoid some people get, believing that it was done on purpose! Hey, not everyone is out to get you, you can relax and have fun, at least when playing a computer game!
Seems you dont know that apology "compensation" is common practice in f2p games, especially those on mobile. Some companies goes as far as give "compensation" for simple typos. Nothing wrong with people want some "apologies" because of blizzard error, although i wouldnt go that far as to call such bug "theft" like in the comment below and DEMAND gold. That being said, i wouldnt mind 50g-apology for it of course, like any of us. I can also see why blizzard will absolutly not do it, because in any future problematic situation, be that servers issues, connection or anything really, people will DEMAND apology goods for sure, make habit of it, because of such precedent.
+1 I agree with your post very much. I know that compensations exist, but I do not expect any for such a trivial problem, for many reasons, precedent included!
Compensate with 50g too much to ask for? :)
i never asked for this (с)
Hidden pool
blizzard can you stop with the theft seriously...
Theft? Really?
Hearthday the heist.
Not fixed or I'm not lucky. 6 days in a row with 40g quests which are swapped into another 40g q.
Btw, Karazhan is bought fully, I don't care about the gold but care about my luck :D
The bug didn't affect everybody though. I was still getting 60g and even 100g quests for the past few days.
YES... You "fixed"... The "bug". :^)
