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 sure didn't. 225 packs, only 11 legendaries including four that got auto-dusted, and none golden, again.
I've opened around 200 packs on opening day for each expansion, and gotten ONE golden legendary, Cho'gall. I did eventually get one crappy golden legendary from each expansion and classic through brawls, arena, etc. Blizzard hates me I guess (pity pout lol)
yes
I got a golden Aya out of 100 packs. It's only my second golden legendary ever in Hearthstone, the first one being a Van Cleef before TGT came out.
What's the value of your currency compared to the US dollar? That matters more.
I don't understand your argument?? With my income I could buy 5000 packs a month.. (kids might starve).
It's in no way blizzards problem to adjust the price of packs beyond the value of your currency.
210pln is equal to 50usd..... You said 60 packs are 200 pln. That would make them 20usd cheaper. 70 USD is 300~ pln......
My point being your already getting a 33% discount..
Your calculations are based on the assumption that prices should be changed based on the average income for a country, which isn't the case. They are usually slightly adjusted, but that's for the purpose of the company being able to sell more product, not for fairness. The way prices are actually converted is through simple currency exchange.
Let's do more math. According to Google, one PLN is .24 of a dollar. Therefore, the 70$ dollars that we pay for 60 packs SHOULD be 294 PLN for you. By the normal method, you're actually getting a markdown compared to the US!
Prices aren't adjusted for people with less income. This applies to poorer people in the US same as it does for countries - it's not any basis for calling something unfair. I do agree with the Tyrande skin and those promotions, though. That is unfair.
Because as Me0203 stated, they adjust it towards the average income in order to sell more, and that's exactly what Blizzard does already. We've already shown that if the prices were equal in terms of value, where $1 USD = 0.24 PLN, you would be paying nearly 50% more, so they clearly do adjust it.
And again just as Me0203 said, there are poorer parts of the USA and it's not like they get a discount on packs.
So who did the math.. was it better to open then get compensation or wait?
I haven't done the math, but I am almost positive it was better to open them and get the comp packs. I ended up with far more dust and cards than I would have otherwise, I'm sure of it.
I got the compensation as well and was pretty happy with it. But I should say that compensation was sort of necessary. Lotus Agents are rare and I opened like 10 of them. This means that a huge part of my packs brought only dust while I kinda wanted to get new rares. I also got a bunch of Grimestreet Informant and Kabal Courier(also rare), as well as a ton of Grimestreet Smuggler, Kabal Chemist and Jade Spirit.
Just opened my free 11 packs and got Raza the Chained

I just opened 60 packs. 1 legendary, lots of golden cards :(
Opened 266 card packs and got the full set from openings and dust. Then get another 99 from Blizzard and get 2 golden legendaries. Pinch me I'm dreaming!
Bought 94 packs, just got 32. Thanks for the freebies blizzard :)
Saved up 5200 gold over 4 months and got an extra 20 packs (got 2 from the 6 packs earned) much appreciated.
Wow. I opened 200 packs ~_~ at around 11am pst and will get to open more when they compensate. Too bad I already dusted 10k worth of dupes ,:(
Opened 50 packs and got 14 more pity packs. Good job blizzard.
Just got my free 20 packs. 2 legendaries in it. Lol. Not a bad day.
Just got my packs. 79 free packs lol.
Still haven't got mine, I hope they are rolling it out. I got so many duplicates in 50 packs (100), and am still missing commons
