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.
I opened 80 packs and had 35 Jade Spirits! LUL
So here is my rant.. although I find the compensation good many people are at a huge disadvantage. My coworker and I both opened 50 packs on lunch affected by the bug (before we knew about it)..he was luckier than me. I opened 3 legendary (no tri class) cards but a ton of tri class dups (mostly common and rares) while he opened 12 legendary (10 were tri class and 4 of those were GOLDEN). So now he's at a huge advantage over me because not only does he have all the sweet legendary cards but he can now DE all the legendary dups for a ton more dust. I didn't open a Don Han'Cho but he got 3 and 2 are golden..WTF now I have spend 1600 dust to make one while he can DE his two goldens for 3200 dust? And on top of it he get the same 33% pack compensation that I do? They should've rolled back all the packs open and make everyone start over again..that would have been the only fair thing to do. Blah
he opened 12 legendaries in 50 PACKS? the hell
12 legendary cards in 50 packs, 4 being golden?! Buddy he is at a huge advantage over almost everyone. I am surprised Blizzard is giving us anything at all so be happy.
Ya i am sorry but you are full of it. 50 packs with 12 legendaries, 4 of them being golden. Nope.
It is what it is..and I'm not sure why it's so hard to believe when you can go on reddit and look at a bunch of screen shots from others getting 2-3 tri class legendary cards in 1 pack..

Not sure where all the hate is coming from. The 33% brings the total value more in line with what we should have gotten. The bug caused many extra tri class cards which were essentially just dust, instead of getting a wider variety of newer cards. Other regions get a bug free launch.
I love how people were making fun of NA players now its just EU gets fucked again. next time try not being giant douche bags about it and you wont feel as salty.
It's 1:20 CET, update not released... can we get extra packs for waiting more than we should ?
btw EU is not gay Island so stop fcking us in the ass !
20 or so free packs? Cool. I was pretty happy overall with the 60 that I opened.
funny how EU players were joking before the resolution, "ha, NA is beta testing for us!", and now with the compesation they get mad
I just realized Kripp will get 333 packs.
..
...
....
Kripp confirmed CM_Zeriyah.
The real question here is when ...
in NA packs have a little bug and for that they give %33 of all opened pack cards! nice Compensation but wait eu players get what? NOTHING
Mean Streets of Gadgetzan still not Launches in the Europe!
i ask blizzard why Americas get better thing than eu players?
all expansions always Launches in NA sooner than EU
they get 1/3 free pack our not
just tell me why? they have better player? they pay more than us? EU have low pro player than NA?
We deserve equality with them we need that reward like Americas player or something like that ...
When you open 8 legendarys and get the same 2 from the tri-classes you would complain too.
this isn't a bug this is a Gift!!
The blizzard had to rollout and re open all the packages they had purchased this had to happen, so they gave the sop to only some of the players creating discontent.
so you have that dust and 1/3 free pack
you think if not happen this bug you get 3 golden legendary in each packs?
cmon i think drop legendary card in 13 card average and you can see you have 1/3 chance again
that dusts + 2 legendary cards +1/3 chance legendary drop > 1/13 chance legendary drop
Please be fair
Player EU increasingly, take it in the ass!!
