Galakrond Animations Temporarily Disabled - Disconnect Hotfix
Blizzard rolled out a hotfix patch a short while ago to fix some disconnect issues that were related to Galakrond animations. Read the full story below:
Quote from BlizzardHey Folks,
We are currently in the process of rolling out a hotfix that will disable the animations for Galakrond. The reason for this:
We’ve found multiple occurrences in which Galakrond’s animations can cause the Hearthstone client to disconnect. The primary occurrence: when playing Quest Galakrond Shaman, we encountered (as well as received word) a bug where the client would disconnect after using Heart of Vir’naal + minions with the Invoke keyword.
This is just a temporary solution that will fix the client disconnects. We are aiming to ship a client patch within the next week that will be the long-term fix for this issue.
The team is continuing to keep an eye out for issues, so please do let us know if you encounter more pesky bugs 🐛
Cheers,
Chris_Attalus

Posted Dec 12, 2019 (Descent of Dragons)It was killing games completely for me. Glad to see it's being fixed anyway, it was annoying not being able to risk the quad invoke for fear of nullifying the game.

Posted Dec 12, 2019 (Descent of Dragons)Team 5's QA team must be really small if they missed this. It's an obvious deck that would be built live, so why wasn't it play tested?
Also, device testing these days is very easy to do with device farms, and Blizzard has enough money to buy all supported devices anyway, just like other big software companies. Defects these days shouldn't be tolerated. Everyone in the software industry should put quality first. We not in the 90's anymore.

That is NOT a BUG, it´s a FEATURE. I always disconnect by pulling the connection myself when I face some cancerous shaman op players :)

Posted Dec 11, 2019 (Descent of Dragons)Sounds good. I reported a bug where my game froze when my opponent played shadowreaper anduin with galakrond in hand, so it's good to hear they're on top of things for once.
