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 guess Blizzard thanks you :-D
You bought over 1500 packs?!?!? Golden shadow rager here you come
33% of 0 affected packs is 0 .
EU got what they deserve .
"What they deserve?" Soo... you're saying you're going for the comment with most negative votes of all times oh hearthpwn? Hmm...
Opened 91 packs and got 2 Kazakus and Don Han'Cho. While I was annoyed at the number and 2 dupes, I was glad I at least opened a Legendary, I wanted. Got the murloc ninja from quest packs later.
Then I got 31 packs for the pack issue, and I could not be happier. This time I got a Golden Kazakus, Aya, and Wrathion as well as the remaining epics, I wanted.
It's been always like that,, and it's weird I confirm :/ I wonder if they've been messing up with cards rate in the first time?!
Opened 50 packs got 1 Legendary. K...
I opened packs at 6:00 am local time in EU and where is my extra packs? :D
6:00 AM EU was 7:30 hours after the fix. Don't wait too long for the packs.
They should've done a compensation through giving 100% dust back for dusting tri-class cards (for all players); that would've been fair for everyone...
Blizzard is love <3
Bro how is it fair when someone who pays 1k packs gets 333 packs back and someone who grinds gold for 1 month gets 15 minimums. Downvote this comm but also go fy if this is fair.
Also, don't go through the "p2w" way. This game punishes those who spend money on it. The most successful decks are aggro/midrange(aggro anyway) and all of them use pretty damn cheap cards. The most expensive decks have been out of the meta for years now and this expansion won't fix it, it might even make it worse. Paying for decks is kinda bad nowadays.
I haven't payed a cent in HS since TGT, the game isn't worth it to me. I continue playing it in Wild now and then but we shouldn't complain about others being compensated for spending more... makes no sense.
The only thing that comes to mind is that if bugs like this can happen is because the packs are not 100% random and they control that random somehow. That bothers me
I had my suspicions when I realized I had opened many more Stranglethorn Tigers than Ragnaroses. This only confirms my fears.
But you already knew that. There is the pity timer for legendaries.
same here:
- 1 legendary (well that's possible for 50 boosters)
- Doppelgangster (rare) 6 times !!! taking up my rare slots in my boosters
- serveral commons 6 to 9+ times
- many rares droped twices
Not even many epics. Doesn't feel good...
Same 2 times finja and one other legy in 70 packs... and just so few epics. But commons over 10 times some. What?
im playing in eu server and now i opend 100 packs, and recive only 3 legendaries
and two was the same..
bad luck or the not fix the bug ?!
