Pity Timer Bug Confirmed - To Be Fixed this Week
Molly dropped a note on the forums this weekend that they have confirmed some players have received one fewer Epic or Legendary card than they should have.
- The bug should be fixed next week.
- A resolution for affected players will happen within the next few weeks. If you were one of them, you'll be contacted.
Quote from MollyHearthstone Patch 8.4 introduced new infrastructure to prepare for the recently announced improvements to card drop rates. An unexpected side effect of this change was that a small number of players who opened packs after the patch received one fewer Legendary or Epic card than they would have otherwise. We've identified the issue and expect it to be resolved next week. It's important to us that Hearthstone players feel great about opening card packs and we apologize for this issue and any disappointment that it may have caused. We will be reaching out to all affected players in the next few weeks with details regarding our resolution plan.
I KNEW IT. I hadn't gotten a legendary in such a long time.
Didn't that patch come out like 2 weeks ago? Doesn't seem like such a long time to me.^^
If I have opened just a single pack, maybe that was the pack that would have my pity timer'd legendary. What if that legendary was now skipped?
It's only a slim chance, but knowing my luck in the game, slim odds to screw one over are always big enough. I guess Blizzard will contact only those who opened >10 packs and >40 packs.
Why won't they tell how a player can determine if he or she was afflicted by the bug, and can expect to be contacted?
By doesn't letting player know how to determine that Blizzard can focus on the situation (bug) the way they want. It's the same why they don't tell community about how Pity Timer works.
Take myself in exemple, I opened 47 packs even though I didn't get a legendary. There was no epic in the last 16 packs.
I hope Blizzard will be righteous at this situation, because a lot of players got scamed by that bug.
Wait a minute, there's a pity timer for Epics?
I knew that every 40 packs you get a Legendary, but what's the pity timer for Epics?

It's 10. You're welcome! :)
Ok you apologized about that issue, what about rewarding us? :)
please read second bullet point.
opened 40 more or less packs with gold yesterday then i saw this FeelsBadMan
how do i know i got bugged?, how do they know if my account is bugged? (Pitty Timer Bug)
i guess they can confirm on their side that i opened 40 more or less packs yesterday?
*cries silently in a corner*
i open close enough 30 pack with just gold for 3 days ago. are they gonna just make it up for paid pack or both ?
Read the post, they will contact you if you are affected.
3 days ago i opened ungoro pack(from free arena) and got a legendary that dont own. I usually open a pack when i got it, so will i get compensated?
99.999999999% chance that's a no.
We won't know. But they do, else they wouldn't have identified this issue.
dunno why people are opening packs insted of saving them for the pack changes with the new expansion but im glad they did i spose so blizzard found out about the pity time bug before thousands of packs got busted open on launch day
But now they won't give compensation packs for the bug on launch.
The pack changes are only for new expansions, they weren't going to apply to old packs (I think, could have interpreted it wrong)
Happens more than you know. My first legendary I got from a card pack was Aviana, and maybe 30 Packs after that I got Aviana again.... You get so damn happy when you see a Legendary card hovering and then you open it and it is the same one you already got.... #Feelsbadman
