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!
I was rank 8 5 stars in standard and rank 13 1 star in Wild... now I'm suddenly rank 6 2 stars and rank 12 1 star... Thanks i suppose... And here I was worried I would have to grind a bit more than just 4 stars to get to rank 5...
Not sure if it was just luck, but Arena and Brawliseum were authentic gold mines whilist ranked mode was off.
I scored more loot than Blackbeard back in the day.
probablly a lot of people were doing the same thing so there were a lot of bad (worse) decks/players then you usually play against
Went to bed rank 16, 3 ⭐️ Woke up rank 15, 2 ⭐️. Thanks Big B. Peace

I don't mind the issues
I reccomend all the people that was saying in the old newa they didn't want any compensation, to not open their 3 packs, never.
Yesterday, during the "bug" problem, I was rank 4, as I had been legend last season. Now I start today rank 5. Wtf?
i was rank 4 5 stars, at the morning i was rank 1 5 stars, played 1 game, won, im legend after 1 game....
GJ blizz
Same here :D
I ended the last season at rank 4/2 stars. Yesterday I was rank 8/2 stars, today I gained 6 stars and I'm rank 7/3 stars without playing. I may not understand very well the system now, but I suppose that the ranking of yesterday was the correct one, am I wrong? Is this some sort of compensation or a bug?
It's compensation. Enjoy!
Comp!! Hooray!!
Neat. 120 dust is always appreciated
My top finish last season was rank 5 and 2 stars, now i am at rank 8 and 2 stars, so i got an additional rank.
And thanks for the packs uncle Benny.
Sooooo, where are all the cry babies now? And the blizzard bashers?
Thanks to blizzard for the free/three packs. While it wasn't really necessary, other games have much more downtime and grant much less compensation, it is welcome!
And the game was still playable too, I was facing the regular meta decks in Casual during the downtime, so it's like the game didn't really change.
Hope Blizzard will have more problems like this, until they're going to apologise with free packs lol
I don't think you were rank 16 and now you are rank 1 and 5 stars . This happened to those who were legend last season and should be rank 4 this season.
But how>? Are you joking or what>?
He's saying that with out the change legend starts off at rank 16. After the change he started out much closer. After the buff he was put at Rank 1 5*.
