Known Issues 22.0 Update - Dust Refunds Coming for Vanndar and Drek'thar
Here's the latest update to the Known Issues posts that Blizz have been doing, with a special note about refunds that are coming for Vanndar Stormpike and Drek'Thar and how people that have already disenchanted either card will get an automatic refund of the dust!
Quote from Blizzard12/10 Update: We are in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix that includes the following updates:
• Fixes a bug with Pathmaker’s effect display in match history tiles.
• Fixes a bug where Pride Seeker’s effect did not persist after Celestial Alignment.
• Fixes a bug where Snowfall Graveyard was causing slow downs or crashes if active while certain animations are triggered.
• Fixes a bug where Maestra of the Masquerade doubled your Armor when you reveal yourself.
• Fixes a bug where Iceblood Tower could allow for the player to make a Discover choice at the end of their turn. The selection will now be automatic and random.
• Fixes a bug where Bloodsworn Mercenary caused crashes.
• Fixes a bug where the Alterac Valley game board was not appearing in games.
• Fixes a bug where Vanndar and Drek’Thar weren’t counting towards “Collect Legendary Alterac Valley” achievements.
• Resumes Korrak’s full refund period that was unintentionally cut short. The refund period will continue until December 18.
• Adjusts how Mercenaries ratings are calculated to generally award more rating for a win, but not lose more rating for a loss. The intent of this change is to make it so that more players can aspire to reach the top rating level (currently 12,000). We will continue to monitor ratings and make any further adjustments necessary in future updates.
• Adjusts Mercenaries product logic for “random Mercenary”-type products. Previously, if you bought a product of this type while already owning all Mercenaries within that category (such as “Random Epic Mercenary” product when you already had all Epic Mercenaries), you would receive Coins for a random selection from that category. Now, in those situations you will first receive a random missing Portrait from a Mercenary within that category and will only receive Coins if you also have all Portraits for all Mercenaries within that category.
• Increases Sky Admiral Rogers’s Firing Position damage (at Rank 5, damage increased from 20 to 25).
• Fixes a bug in Mercenaries where Mr. Smite’s Sharpened Scabbard was adding damage while Mr. Smite was on the bench.
• Fixes a bug in Mercenaries where Vanessa VanCleef’s Sifting Sachels would sometimes fail to add a Cooldown for what it copies.
• Fixes a bug in Mercenaries where Valeera would sometimes not receive her Speed buff while she has Stealth.
• Fixes a bug causing crashes in Mercenaries Fighting Pit games versus A.I. opponents.
• Fixes a bug where products that offer random Mercenaries Portraits would give Mercenary Coins instead of a Portrait if the Portrait randomly awarded would have been the last missing Portrait for that particular Mercenary.On another note, the team has decided to extend the start-of-rewards-track refund logic to also apply to Vanndar and Drek’Thar. Although these cards do not meet the circumstances we normally use to apply refund logic, we have heard your feedback that an exception in this instance will make for a better play experience for many players. The decision to add this refund logic was finalized after this hotfix was put together, so the refund period has not been enabled yet. We will update our messaging once that refund period has started. After that refund period goes live, players who already disenchanted Drek’Thar or Vanndar will automatically receive additional dust to make up for not receiving full value.
We will update this post when we have more information.
No, I just come back here to see how losers are nowadays, just 4 fun, to get some laughs rsrs
trash list all over the place and netdecks with broken bad developed shit, so yes, game is dead; sometimes come here to see if something is getting better, but no, more devs fired, more money grab shit and modes with zero brain activity.
But all in all I still get some laughs from losers and trash decks here and there xD
Also the white knights and manchilds are the only ones still defending this game. I mean, maybe unemployment and a shit life play a role in this kind of behaviour, who knows.
Sure buddy, you really seem to lead a fulfilled life if you get your fun from calling random people on the internet losers. I'm sure it makes you feel like an absolute winner. I mean, you're a really smart guy after all, you've got Blizzard, Hearthstone and it's community all figured out. You must be fun a partys.
Pathetic for sure
Loser detected. I'm actually fun at parties, most of them are winners or just doesn't concern me most of time. But card game heroes like you are real losers, accept it.
Good god. You're like the result of a half failed experiment where they tried to make a turd sentient. I was trying not to reply to you, because you're obviously trolling everyone, but man, it's hard to ignore it.
Well done, you got us all.
Narcissist detected. I guess at the parties you attend, everyone is like you, patting each other on the back and assuring each other that everyone else is a loser.
Something doesn't become truer just because you repeat it.
But go ahead, call me and/or everyone else here loser again, confirm yourself. :*
So, about the refund on Drek and Vann - what is the issue they are hoping to correct by offering dust refunds?
Because I just decided to grab a bundle on a whim from the shop, it came with 2 free legendaries... one of them was Vanndar. Was I supposed to be able to get him in this way?
The issue is that currently - for a limited time only - both Vann and Drek are effectively "free" legendaries - obtained via logging and honor grinding.
On the other hand, these legendaries are not meant to be drop restricted in any way, cuz after the end of event there should be a way to obtain them for those who missed the event.
So yes, you should be able to get them from packs. And the issue is that currently obtaining one feels like a wasted opportunity to get something else.
Well, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
The problem is they gave out golden copies - but you can also get a non-golden legendary from packs. What should have happened is they gave regular versions so the duplicate protection would protect you from getting another. And if you unpacked the other one before you finished the honor grind - the honor grind should have given you 1600 dust at the end instead of another copy.
Can we talk about honor?
a) why do we have to collect a whopping 7200 honor to get the other legendary?
b) why does Blizzard want us to play fast decks to complete the honor questline? If I have a 50% winrate and 50% of those wins are against the other faction, I have to play 90 days 4 games each day. That's .... not so great when playing some control deck....
c) you want us to play the new game mode, but you don't grant honor there, not even when playing PvP?
b) - just play Wild, I consider all grinding stuff as a Wild promotion.
Just made a gimped Standard face hunter deck - it grinds me honor fast enough to compensate its abysmal winrate (at platinum 5), and every win is considered as an unnecessary bonus =)
I want them to fix the Maestra bug.
Thief rogue is the only fun deck I've had this expansion.
This one drives me nuts. It’s one of the most frustrating bugs in the game and it’s been ignored since release. It’s even worse now since there’s actual card synergies with it.
what bug?
you can start the game as Rogue, thats the bug
Its funny. The first game I played with Thief Rogue, I got Rogue as my class so I auto conceded and checked to see if I included Maestra. I did and chalked it up as a bug haha. I stay at silver 10 so I don't care if I lose from it but I would think it would suck for those who are trying to rank up...
Maestra plays xD
Are u what? Silver?
when this patch (hotfix) goes live? i want my dust refund asap
"the decision to add this refund logic was finalized after this hotfix was put together"
Game is already dead
