17.4 Server Side Patch - Malygos Hero Power In Battlegrounds Hotfix
Blizzard has just announced a Server Side Patch targeting Malygos's Hero Power in Battlegrounds which they deployed to the game.
Quote from BlizzardHey Everyone,
We’re currently deploying a hotfix that will address a Battlegrounds bug introduced in today's 17.4 Patch:
- Malygos's Hero Power will now properly function when targeting friendly minions.
This fix takes place on the server-side, so you won’t have to download anything if you’ve updated to 17.4.
What was the bug?
The bug was when you targeted a friendly minion it did not change into a new one of the same cost
so if you targeted zoobot it changed into a zoobot
well, From time to time Murozond's battlecry does not trigger
A quick view on the article made me think Malygos was getting nerfed
Good!
And they fixed quickly enough.
I wonder why/how it broke in the first place
I do love little bugs and working out how they happen... working with software its easily done. I made some code back in work in 2010 and it had to search for a date so i just did 201x as the year thinking it be replaced or i would have moved on.. just lazy really... guess what happened on 1st Jan 2020 :) I think thats the same thing that happened with the wrestling game that crashed too
No, no programtor of the sane thinking would love figuring how bugs happend.
They probably forgot the code to exclude the minion you already have, when using the hero power. Thus, causing the minion to change into itself
