Classic Pack Opening Re-Enabled - Dust Refunds
You can once again open Classic packs. For people that pulled the wrong cards from their packs while opening previously will get a full Dust refund for those cards!
Quote from BlizzardWe’re aware of an issue where players could still receive the 16 cards that were added to the Classic set later in Hearthstone’s history from Classic and Golden Classic packs between when the 20.0 patch was released (3/25) up until shortly after expansion launch (3/30).
We’ll be identifying players who received these cards during this five-day window, and issuing Arcane Dust equivalent to a full refund for each card from the following list in the coming days:
• Icicle
• Tome of Intellect
• Call of the Void
• Pilfer
• Siegebreaker
• Gift of the Wild
• Righteousness
• Brightwing
• High Inquisitor Whitemane
• Barrens Stablehand
• SI:7 Infiltrator
• Arcane Devourer
• Kul Tiran Chaplain
• Scarlet Subjugator
• Shadow Word: Ruin
• Natalie Seline
We’ll update here once these dust refunds have been distributed.
Depends on the time of opening the pack(s) if it was on March 30th. If correct, there was a window of about 3 hours, until Blizzard decided to stop the opening of Classic packs.
I got a Golden Natalie Seline in my free Golden Classic pack does that count, or was that before the change was supposed to take place?
Depends when you opened it. Before or after the core set went live?
Nice, i got at least Golden Brightwing and High Inquisitor,so 4800 dust incoming. :-)
Should I dust my golden Icicle now or later? Because I can only dust it for 400.
I understand that Blizzard will send out a compensation. So I would keep the cards for now.
This is a good start but it doesn't address the fact that people got duplicates of other Classic cards. I think a fair solution is either a full refund of the packs and money or refunding every single card that came out of those packs. This is kind of a half measure. It's not just that these cards were included in the Classic packs but also that Hall of Fame cards were not. Blizzard isn't addressing that part!
Exactly,
Even when they do something good, they manage to f*ck up every single step on the way.
They let the Classic format out, but didn't update packs. Fine, I was an idiot and opened around 8 packs without knowing it. It was said that when expansion comes we'll see the fix. Expansions came, I opened around 6 packs, again not getting commons and rares I'm missing.
I am not happy with this compensation. I was planning on buying classic pack bundles, but there's no way I am spending a cent on this game in future. They f*cked up people collecting golden Classics for the Standard first, now they are f*cking people that are going to play Classic format. They basically killed whole Classic collection for most of the people who don't plan to play Wild or Classic and now they are being cheap motherf*ckers with Classic cards.
Also, thanks for all those shiny golden Core cards that are not usable in Classic format! Fuck you!
