Duplicate Protection in Season Rewards Chest Not Working
Blizzard has announced that they are aware of the duplicate protection not working with the Season Rewards Chest at the end of the month and they will solve the problem before next season's appearance.
Quote from BlizzardHey everyone,
We’ve seen reports of players receiving duplicate cards from their April Rewards Chest. We’ve investigated this and determined that duplicate protection was not applied to individual cards in chest rewards, just packs.
For the May Rewards Chest, we will be implementing an improvement that does the duplicate check on the chest level, which will result in all chest rewards being covered by the new protection rules.
So, i had all common and rare cards from the latest expansion. With the latest patch i was greedy and dusted all my commons and rares which are effected by the patch. Thinking that i at least would open all commons with my new seasons packs. I didn't..
How does the duplicate system work again?
if you already have the card, and dusted, it will still considered as owned
Oh yeah u get duplicate fuck you nice thx Blizz
Now if the rewards system started giving Golden out if you have all the regular Rares and Commons...
So where is the compensation for the bug? In the past, players affected by bugs would be given a compensation. Gifting all players a 100 Gold or Dust, or a card pack wouldn't hurt Blizzard at all, quite the opposite:
Free-to-Play titles LIVE from this kind of freebies, you want to give your customers the feeling that the game is a fair deal so spending some money on it is fine!
When Riot Games decided to re-release all special edition skins, they gave everyone who purchased these skins as limited edition their Riot Points back, so I suddenly had 60.000 RP on Login. This was over 6 years ago I think and LoL is still kicking.
That should be proof enough what Blizzard actually could do! Freebies are a win-win situation for both the customers and the company, so pls give more!
I got 7+ Sludge Slurper, but I already own every rare card so I didn't worry too much about it. However, there are some rare cards where I actually only own one normal and one golden. I think Sludge Slurper was one of them, and this explains why so many people got the same card multiple times. It does give you a card that you don't own, but every loot box will give you this card, they all check on the same thing and give you that.
As for an epic, I got Big Bad Archmage, which I didn't own.

Hey, look at all of the degenerates from the other Hearthpwn thread saying "STOP BEING GREEEDY. BLIZZ NEVER SAID U WONT GET DUPLICATES FROM THE CHEST. THE GAME IS CHEAP ENOUGH, THEY'RE A BUSINESS" jumping to this one to say "oh that explains why i got duplicates".
Thing is, everyone who played the game for more than half a year should be full rare collection anyways, so for most people getting dupes out of their chest didn't matter anyways.
It sucks for new players though, who expected a significant collection size boost, from their much harder earned chest.
sorry blizzard the plumber
blizzard the plomber
That expains why i got 4 Angry Chicken , they predicted my mental state about this.
well, that explains the 4 Knife Jugglers i got this month
Got 3 Headcrack and 2 Injured blademaster... ..all the rare cards was from the classic set. FeelsBadMan.
rares is useless anyways.... you will have all rare with like 30-50 packs anyways
Y'all are hatin on him but he right.
Rares cost basically nothing, cards only start to cost considerable amounts after epic. Kinda insulted that there was no creativity in the loot system, should've been guaranteed rares with a chance to upgrade to epic/legendary and small and smaller chances. But what do I know, I just waste my time playing this game!
I received 4 times Hunting Party and 3 times Conjurers Calling. I'm glad they are aware of the problem.
Hope it get fixed next month!
Sure bad press for the "benefit" of getting some players annoyed at them. I think you are onto smth. They did this on purpose, just like they added duplicate protection on purpose. Makes a lot of sense if you think about it.
I'm glad I got lor to hold me over until hearthstonw gets it crap together
