Ranked Ladder Returns! Players to Receive 3 Kobolds & Catacombs Packs Next Week
The ladder has returned! We can stop spamming the forums and go back to playing our Aggro Paladin variants.
Blizzard is providing compensation to all players in the form of 3 Kobolds & Catacombs packs to be distributed next week through the Battle.net gifts interface. Some accounts may also have received additional stars in ranked.
Quote from AratilWe have implemented a hotfix for the issue that was affecting Ranked Play in all Hearthstone regions. To properly assess the scope of the issue, we had to temporarily disable Ranked Play while we worked on the hotfix. As part of the restoration process, some accounts may have received additional stars.
We understand this kind of downtime is disappointing for our community, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we’d like to offer everyone three Kobolds and Catacombs card packs. These card packs will be distributed next week and can be redeemed via the Gifting function either on the Battle.net Desktop App or by logging into your Battle.net account on your mobile device.
Everything should be working properly now and you can once again resume climbing the ladder in Ranked Play. We’re sorry for the disruption to your play experience and greatly appreciate your patience while we sorted it out!
They didn't use to. Only after years of people like Kripp pointing out that other card game devs do that did Blizzard join the compensating club. So it's not a Blizzard thing to like.
However, I am happy for all those people to whom the three packs matter. When you're a relative newbie, three packs closer to your next legendary is a big deal.
Yay free packs!!!
Hopefully this time the packs dont go to my eu account
Any new about the stream?. Obviously it won't be today.
At least you got some packs out of it
That's because as an apology, they've also given everyone free stars to rank them up since they missed a day to rank up.
Yeah so legend players got 4 ranks of stars as an apology, and lower ranks (like me, since idgaf about ranked) got 5 stars from r20 to r19. NICE.
Didn't get legend yet but I get it, that's really cool! :)
Yes! I LOVE IT when they make mistakes! That means free packs for us!! YESS!!
Three Kobolds packs is not enough compensation for canceling the whole year of the Raven because of this.
This is just like that time I got a D in Social Studies and my mom cancelled Christmas. She must suffer for her misdeeds...
Free packs! I mean free dust...
Love you blizz =*
Do we know what the problem was?
Don't know about you, but I'm now actively rooting for Blizzard to have catastrophic bugs.
I couldn't play anyway so guess I'll just say thanks for the 3 packs :-)
Being busy with work, angry wife and other stuff like that, knowing anything about these issues but thank you for the packs Blizzard.
