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 stopped believing those "80 packs 1 legendary" BS a long time ago. Video or it didn't happen since 1 out of 40 will get you a legendary guaranteed.
44 free packs to go on top of my mound of dust from this morning? Thank you blizzard!!!
Feels bad to be an EU player, later release and less free packs .
thank God I chose NA server !
The people bitching for not getting free packs when they didn't get fucked over because of the bug are some greed assholes. They want free packs which will give them a huge advantage over the people who got the bug for no reason just because they want more packs. I got the bug and i dont even have half the commons but i have 9 on some of the tri-class cards but somehow getting a 33% more packs means i have the huge advantage over people that didn't get the bug, and got a even amount of cards.
No not far more cards i got 8 bonus packs 40 cards and not a few duplicates 18 and the dust is not much at all but if the people that didnt get the bug got free packs that would be crazy more value for no reason anyone who thinks they should get bonus packs without the bug cant think pass their greed.
i dont even get the point your making with that last sentence.
No it is not. My estimate was a 25% loss in monetary value due to the bug.
33% was rightfully a very mild overcompensation.
it ok value not insane but the point is way in the hell should people get free packs and the advantage over people that got the bug for NOT getting screwed over. It makes no sense that people believe they deserve free packs when they didn't get the bug anyone who thinks that way are not thinking clearly about the situation.
yes i get there some bonus for the people that got the bug, but why should the people that didn't get the bug get a bonus?
im getting a lot of down votes yet no one has given a good reason why they should get free packs. People here are so mad and salty but give no reason on why my comments are wrong. except you widemore gave some good points made it seem bigger but good points.
yea 2 of 3 tri-class legendarys are some of the best, but getting them so much more than other makes it much more likely of getting two of the same like kripp got 3 in row out of his first 5 legendarys which could be other cards, and honestly even with the buggy packs having a higher chance of getting more "value" i would prefer the normal packs so i dont have to wait to get the commons.
I bought 17 packs with gold, oh sorry I meant i bought 17 clasic packs with gold, men I was tired, bad luck no good cards
I wanted to buy 17 MSoG packs but mistakenly bought classic packs, went to open the packs and, man, I was furious
So because you didn't get fucked over yesterday means you deserve compensation?
You're an idiot.
Whoever lives in Europe time to move like a Syrian refugee to the NA man...
Wow, I opened 69 packs yesterday and got myselft a little pissed since I only got 2 legs (Knuckles and Aya). With dust I made kazakus and solia. Got 22 packs today and for my "luck" got myself another Kazakus and a golden Aya. Wow. At least it gave me 3200 dust so I can craft another 2 legendaries.
So I could get extra 10 packs.. fuck this shit..
Bought 80 packs got 5 different legs ( one golden ) then 28 additional packs from the bug and now in at 7 legs ( 1 golden ) not bad eh?!
thank you blizzard 👌
Thanks Blizzard !
