[19.0.2] Duels, Weekly Quests & Miscellaneous Bugs - Hotfix
Blizzard just announced a server-side hotfix for Duels, Weekly Quests, and a few other miscellaneous bugs.
Quote from BlizzardHey everyone,
We’re currently deploying a hotfix that includes the following:
- Fixed an issue that caused certain players to have an entirely blank Quest Log, and never receive Daily or Weekly quests. Impacted players will be compensated for missed XP in the near future.
- Fixed a bug where Heroic Duels matches were not granting XP.
- Fixed a bug where Heroic Duels runs were failing to start. Impacted players will have missing Gold refunded in the near future.
- Fixed a bug where new players were not receiving the Silas Darkmoon Legendary.
- Fixed a bug where rewards were not being granted for completing Chapter 5 in Tombs of Terror.
- Fixed a bug where Whizbang the Wonderful was not using new deck recipes.
UPDATED:
- Fixed a bug where Nazmani Bloodweaver would incorrectly target cards that already cost 0.
- Fixed a bug where 17 Madness at the Darkmoon Faire cards were not draftable in Arena.
This hotfix will take place on the server-side, so you will not need to download anything if you’ve already updated to patch 19.0.
They still choose to stay silent about the reward system?start listening to the players and don’t be greedy
Bug fixes are great and all, but it feels really bad that everything the player base has been frustrated with is lower priority to them than fixing something in the Tombs of Freaking Terror.
Has anyone else experienced their achievement rating changing values seemingly arbitrarily?
not a flex, my score was at 10110, last night it was down to 9960, this morning its at 10010. Is this intended?
Okay, it’s happened again. I was up to 10220 this morning, just completed the ‘No Pathetic Cards’ achievement (not a flex) and I am down again to 9960
whats going on here? I knew these achievements were meaningless, but I didn’t think they were so meaningless as to actually not even track or count properly
I'm amazed they haven't released any balance patch. The meta haven't been so stale in a new expansion since like two years. Literally there isn't any new deck, just the old ones with like at max 4 or 5 new cards. No new archetypes. Agro is just overwhelming, almost no decks can't keep up with it.
I generally don't complain about these things, but this new expansion SUCKS. Many cool mechanics can't see place due to the same agro decks.
Balance patch can't come before World Championships. We all need to wait until it is over.
I'm just waiting for the rotation in April next year, although one thing is scary... Demon Hunter won't lose anything... Yep, that class is just a nightmare that will never end..
Yeah, it kinda makes sense. Also, these events are useful for detecting problem decks. Evolve Shaman needs to be stoped in my opinion. And maybe also agro DH.
Personally I have no idea where people like you gets this whole energy from, but I'm enjoying posts like this, because the're hilarious for me...
Some of you maybe will go out at streets? xD
Goodbye then.
Wait WHAT? Which 17 cards were undraftable in arena?
Wow, this is what they came up with after the silence? I'm beginning to think that only around a handful of people are working on this bugfest of a game. Yogg Wheel STILL bugged, one of the main attractions of this set! WTF! And all these xp, reward and other card bugs also still going wild... I have no words for this. Battlepass fiasco, the game gets more expensive, countless bugs, etc, etc, and Blizzard comes up with THIS??? XD Ok this is a test, right? "How little effort can we put in our game and still get a buttload of money from our whales and idiot customers?"
This is beyond unacceptable, and I'm really confused how they are able to fuck it up this much and still remain silent. I know I know, classic Blizzard, but it seems like this is a whole new level of "Blizzardness"...
I'd consider myself a small whale, bought every bundle and pre order, and even though the expansion itself has been kinda fun, I'm starting to think I just have to quit the game? I mean, this is so disrespectful, it's like Blizzard is spitting in our face and asks for more money.
I love(d) this game but if this small indie company does not approach us with a MEANINGFUL statement and even more important, MEANINGFUL actions, I guess I have to say goodbye.

Awesome. Later
Great! I have been waiting for a balance patch since release of the new set. Oh wait.... It's just a hotfix FFS.
17 DF cards undraftable in Arena 1 is Felscream Blast?? and ??
Where is the rest? Theres a few dozen other bugs currently plaguing the game. Duels is imbalanced as hell. DH is running rampant in standard. They have been silent for over two weeks and this is what we get? What have they been doing?
Yes, the Yogg bug is inexcusable.

This is a comedy video about Blizz dev and all the heat going on. At 1:09 there is my favorite part about all guys like this one who really think they are "smart" and still seriously saying new system is better. =) No, dude.
Stop being blind!

Maybe if you could learn to do math or read you wouldn't embarrass yourself like this. I'm not saying it's better, I'm saying it's about the same. Over the course of a week you earn about the same amount of gold from quests as you did under the old system. Unless you were playing & winning A LOT. Which... most people weren't.
It's better from like... an aesthetic point of view. And the fact that you can earn XP from achievements is cool, but overall it's about as rewarding as the old system. New system gives you more free legendary cards too. Under the old system you got one free legendary per expansion. Under the new one, you get three.
And the old system was broken anyway, so they could do a lot to improve it regardless.
There're two major problems that need to be improved. As I see it.
1) Rewards stay consistent through out the XP grind. It starts to take longer to get the same rewards. As in, it takes a week to earn 300g, rather than 2 days to earn 100g. You should be earning more towards the end of the track to encourage players to try and get to the end. When it gets harder, people lose interest.
2) The rewards are inconsistent. Getting a pack from an old set when the rest of the tier (25-30) is giving you 150g is... pathetic. It's worth less and it gives you less options. Why? Either it should be MORE packs (like 3, so a 300g value but you don't get to choose how to use your gold), or it should just be 150g like every other reward.
So basically... change some of the rewards to be more enticing, reduce or even remove the XP increase after level 30 (maybe reduce the rewards slightly to compensate). Two simple changes that would make a world of difference.
But people are not earning less gold over time if they're still doing their quests. That's just not factual. Blizzard is not going out of it's way to screw over it's customer base and hoping nobody notices.
