Hearthstone Test Season 2 Delayed
Season 2 will not be starting today as originally planned.
Quote from ZeriyahDuring today’s Hearthstone closed beta maintenance (Thursday, January 2nd), we’ve discovered some pesky sprites that are currently preventing us from properly transitioning from Test Season 1 to Test Season 2. Due to these issues, we are extending the duration of Test Season 1 until we can ensure a smooth transition.
When the servers come back up from maintenance today, player ranks will not have changed, and Test Season 1 will continue until further notice.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue the beta testing phase of Hearthstone.
Season 2 in Europe Delayed
Season 2 will likely be delayed in Europe.
Quote from OmrakosYes, it will likely be delayed in Europe. They'll need time to resolve the issues they were having and then time again to have the fix or fixes fully tested by our QA Team.
Wow, I guess a lot of folks are trying out ranked right b4 the reset. I just played my first ranked match with only a handful of expert cards. Faced a guy that had 3 legend cards right off the bat. He was only angry chicken, too. Got Hearthpwned.
Update: Bug DOES affect all regions.
And this will impact you how exactly?
The bugs, exactly that way
So nothing changed yet? No fixes?
Ranks were not reset. A patch with bugfixes does not appear to be planned for today.
It's certainly a possibility, but we are not sure yet. Going to need to wait on word from Blizzard.
There used to be a blog post on the EU site about Test Season 2 starting, but it's gone now. This is Hearthpwn's Blue Tracker copy of it. I think that's a pretty strong indication that there won't be an EU reset either until whatever issues they ran into get worked out.
I'll certainly be happier when they can't wave that "it's only in beta" flag so wildly.
Not like your paying for this. It is a FREE TO PAY GAME!
I already spent a considerable amount on money on the game. I want to play :D The real issue is: I can't wait for the ladder reset! That's gonna be fun!
