18.0.1 Hotfix - Discover Cards & Random Generating Cards Can No Longer Discover Themselves
Blizzard just announced an important hotfix aiming at improving the player experience on discover cards & r andom generating cards.
Full changes
Quote from BlizzardHey everyone,
We’ve got a hotfix going out later today that includes significant changes to the Discover keyword and randomly generated cards:
- Discover cards can no longer Discover themselves.
- Cards that ‘generate a random card’ can no longer generate themselves.
Dev comment: Overall, this change is aimed at helping games feel a bit more varied. While generating the same card can be an exciting individual moment, these types of experiences tend to have diminishing returns after a while. These adjustments should make for healthier games against classes with a ton of resource generation.
The hotfix also includes the following:
- Mr. Bigglesworth is now available in Battlegrounds to all players.
- Fixed a bug where the selected minion summoned by Jandice Barov would not have the death upon damage enchantment when summoned again with Khadgar.
- Fixed a bug where Headmaster Kel’Thuzad would not resurrect minions that were destroyed from being returned to a full hand.
These changes will take place on the server-side, so you won’t have to download anything if you’ve already updated to 18.0.
Quote from BlizzardThis hotfix is live now! Also to clarify how it works for a card like Shadow Visions—you're still able to Discover a second copy of Shadow Visions if you have one in your deck.
Well, at least I won't Evocation into 2 more Evocations anymore
It does give you a chance to discover an option you can really use now.
Goodbye chain Renews. Im gonna miss ya
Nerfs. Where is our dust?
Love the down votes yet I'm 100% correct, see DQA's first nerf. LOL!
I just want priests, mages and other trash classes who can't build a real deck to suffer
Sorry, Highlander Priest and Mage, obviously in wild, are truly real decks.
What is a "real" deck in your eyes? Only the ones you enjoy?
So you're an aggro player, huh?
Another suggestion that I would like to pass is that the discover and generate random cards cannot be added to any card you have from your deck and hand in this game. It would be a big change. There are exceptions
We are gathered here today to mourn the viability of Magic Trick . How you can no longer discover itself to boost Mana Cyclone is truly heartbreaking.
Er sure, we are mourning it...
Where did I put the champagne?
Unironically shut up Cold Snap
"Touching you....
"Touching me....
"AaaaaaaAAAAh, you touch yourself...!"
A kind of nerf to Lightforged Crusader
Not like I ever got another one anyway 😪
Lorekeeper animation is still bugged...
Should be fixed in the next upcoming patch.
How do these changes affect Shadow Visions ?
