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.
With a comment like that, you clearly have no idea how the system works.... With the triclass cards showing up at a greater percentage rate, it makes epics and legendary cards probability of being drawn even more so than it already was intended to be. Use your head abit more before immediately writing down your lame opinion for everyone to downvote...
Who found out that there is a bug and how?
Lol, I logged in this morning and thought someone got into my account and bought stuff upon finding I had an extra 20 packs.
A message on the actual client might have helped a little, Blizz....
Be grateful for 1 damn time instead of always crying.
I was affected by this, I kept getting like 2 of the same cards in 1 pack, and many repeats. I did get 4 legendary out of 250 cards(50pk), so i had a 1.06% chance of getting a legendary yesterday. I opened my app this morning and had 19 packs extra in there, but only 1 was legendary. So basically 1.052% of getting that legendary out of 95 cards(19pk).
Thanks blizzard for decreasing the rate of legendary drops on me. At least I made enough dust to make 2 more legendary's, any suggestions on who I should craft?
Well one you like for fun (taht is shaku for me yeah lol) or one competitive and then I suggest you to wait a little bit as the deck are in testing right now :)
"Here. We apologize for a tiny bug, so here's a shitload of free packs on us!"
"Oh yeah!? Well FUCK YOU BLIZZARD!" (opens the free packs)
Gotta love the Hearthstone community. A place of real kindly neighbors, who...nod whenever you walk past them in the streets. Then look for the first chance they can to steal the dog you're walking.
It's karma. I have the fucking worst luck when opening packs, so nature had to be balanced out. When I opened those 50 packs, I only got a single legendary. But in these 20 packs (plus the six from quests), I got a whopping five legendaries.
You all look at everything in terms of "good" and "bad." Nature doesn't recognize good and bad, only balance and imbalance. The gods up in the stars cast their eyes down upon me, and took notice that shit was seriously wack. And now it's all better!
Ok guys , I think it's just free packs and no bug fix to calm the crowd. (I'm on EU server)
I feel a bit bad as on my 160 packs i've got 11 legendaries it's good , and well... 4 Don Han'cho and 3 aya on the 11 ?
9+ grimestreet smuggler ? (actually more than that) / 9+ jade spirit ? (same) / now you know the song and it's the same with so many cards
Actually it's the first time i got so many duplicates , it didn't appened with classique and WotOG.
Perhaps it is normal and we can call it bad luck but... I'm not sure about that.
What i am supposed to do ? be salty or claim fairness ?
both seems useless lol but i'm thinking about contacting support :/
Any people in the same case ? (any servers)
Omg, Blizzard, I love you, but what to do with my 23 same cards! I've had the same trouble, as America region, but on EUROPEAN. what's next? so I need just to take it like it is? and after that prepurchase I've got 40 more and had the same.....it's not fair!!!!!!
Yesterday EU players were gloating over US players' packing opening misfortune. Unfortunately the joke is still on them. Feels bad man.
Thanks. but blizzard won't mention itðŸ˜
It didn't just hit EU players though, it still miss balances US since most people opened after work/school/life...
And there I had a good idea of going to sleep early cuss of work... F... me
Blizzard: Hey guys, we hate EU so let's give some other dudes 33% more packs! Sounds good?
*Yeah, f*ck EU!*
*EU sucks!"
Alright then!
And so ends the story about EU always, ALWAYS getting left behind (tavern brawls, release times and so on and so fort)
FeelsBadMan
I got 21 packs and opened 3 class legendaries. Makes up for the 40 Jade Spirit cards I got.
