The Balance Patch Releases Next Week - September 18
We're going to be seeing the five recently announced card nerfs hit next Monday!
Quote from DaxxarriIn the recent Upcoming Balance Changes – Update 9.1 blog, we discussed the details and philosophy behind balance updates that are coming to several Hearthstone cards:
- Innervate - Now reads: Gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only. (Down from 2)
- Fiery War Axe - Now costs 3 mana. (Up from 2)
- Hex - Now costs 4 mana. (Up from 3)
- Murloc Warleader - Now reads: Your other Murlocs have +2 Attack. (Down from +2 Attack, +1 Health)
- Spreading Plague - Now costs 6 mana. (Up from 5)
This patch is currently targeted for September 18th PDT. Please note that updates for mobile devices may take a few additional hours to propagate.
Once these card changes are live, players will be able to disenchant cards that are not Basic (Murloc Warleader and Spreading Plague) for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks. Basic cards cannot be disenchanted and will not be available for an Arcane Dust refund.
You can disenchant when the patch comes. If Murloc deck are still strong, recraft them and keep playing Murlocs, if the Murloc nerf was too much and are unplayable, now you have 800 dust to craft something else.
It could seem to me that they annunced the nerf 2 week before for an advice or for some sort of testing, but i bet my mother that's not that, is just for the kids crying for nerf and spam in the blizz forum that they dont want to listen ( i had the same experience with them on wow, i think it's a perfect example if u look of what it became now)
IMO nerfs shouldnt be applied mid month.
The delay is mainly because of prelims.
Why they told people early was because a lot of people were taking notice of what Druid was doing to the ladder.
I really like the way Blizz handled Jade Idol and Ultimate Infestation, N'Zoth's First Mate, Patches the Pirate and Bloodsail Cultist. Those are the changes we needed, and they are delivered right on time. Thx Blizz!
priest's meta lol
Hi
plz make fiery waraxe disenchantable plz
You got it for free, why are you asking for compensation when it changes stats? Stop bullshit plz
Because they didn't nerf the cards we can disenchant. If this kills Pirates that's 2k dust completely worthless. Its not the card that was too powerful it was the deck that used it. By hitting basic cards we lose a whole deck's worth of dust.
2 weeks from announcement to patch WTF?, everything announced even nerf needs 2 weeks? is time not in this company's vocabulary?
I think they were waiting for preliminaries of HTC to finish, rather than needing time to make a patch. They cannot change cards after decks of esports participants are fixed and cannot be changed, they need to wait for tournaments to finish.
Hey guys, i wanna dust some Spreading Plague to get some dusts, can i disenchant them right now or i have to wait until Sep 18?
You can dust them anytime you want, but you won't get the full dust value until September 18th.
Wait for sep 18, you will get more dust.
