22.2.1 Patch Notes - Tarecgosa Change in BGs - Duels Balance Changes
Surprise Patch! With Balance changes for several game modes and some bug fixes. Read all about it below!
Apparently this is not the end of the BG balance changes!
Quote from BlizzardWe’re in the process of deploying a hotfix that includes some balance changes for Battlegrounds and Duels, and a handful of bug fixes.
Developer’s Note: Because this is a hotfix change, the changes will not show correctly while hovering over the minions in the shop, on the hero select screen, or when hovering over the Buddy Meter. This will be corrected in a future update.
Hero Changes
Elementium Squirrel Bomb (Millificent Manastorm’s Buddy)
- Old: [Tavern Tier 3] → New: [Tavern Tier 4
Minion Changes
TarecgosaDrakonid Enforcer
- Old: [Tavern Tier 3] → New: [Tavern Tier 4]
- Old: [Tavern Tier 4] 3 Attack, 6 Health → New: [Tavern Tier 3] 2 Attack, 4 Health
Duels Updates
- All Together Now was moved from Treasure Pool 1 to Treasure Pool 2.
- Battle Totem, Disks of Legend, and Totem of the Dead were are all moved from Treasure Pool 2 to Treasure Pool 2 Ultra Rare.
Bug Fixes and Game Improvements
- Fixed a bug where your opponent playing a Choose One card while holding a Pathmaker would cause a floating card to remain on your screen.
- Fixed a bug where Arfus would sometimes summon Reborn minions, instead of the properly resurrected 1 Health minions, when combined with Khadgar.
- Fixed a bug where certain Buddies’ on-play voicelines would not play in certain circumstances.
- Made progress on a bug where players were locked out of the Mercenaries Training Grounds. While a permanent solution is planned for Patch 22.4, restarting Hearthstone should now allow you to access the Training Grounds again if you were locked out.
- Fixed a bug where Duels achievements were not properly tracking runs.
- Fixed a bug where Duels Health totals did not match the Health totals intended for run progress.
Whenever I play Mummy magic with my deathrattle hunter I always get a mage with unstable magic making my minions worthless. Very unfun.
Not convinced the nerf to Tarecgosa will change much - you don't start rolling for combos with her till tavern 4 usually anwyay. The interactions with the game mechanics are very cool, and I wouldn't want to see them gone from the game, but at the same time the card is super busted. Could easily be a tier 6 power.
For me it seems that demons or quilboars are quite weak compared to other types. Am I alone with this?
The new frame for balance change is so great!
That's for all the patch notes. :)
Btw press CTRL + F5 on the main page, you'll see a lot of new things. :)
Hi!
Can anyone explain: What is the sense to change the tier by buddies - like in the new patch the squirrel - from tier 3 to tier 4?
Takes it longer time to get them? Or something else?
Thank you for an answere in advance.
afaik, that is exactly the reason, yes.
Yes, their buddy meter charges up slower
Hey, thank you for your fast answer!
Nice people here!
For Duels & BG balance changes, it only takes a quick simple hot fix without even any announcement. Why do Standard/Wild balance changes have to be included in a big patch that always take at least 1-2 weeks to get released?
They did do hotfix balanace change for constructed when they released the DH class, though they made it clear that this is not their prefeared way since they can't change how the cards looks on the client with a simple hotfix. That's why Draconid Enforcer still appears as a 4 Star 3/6 when you hover over it.
Just remove taregosa and illidan from bgs.
Personally I'd be more happy to see the "give a Maexxna reborn" being removed.
As for Taregosa, it would maybe be easiest to put Illidan and Bru'kan into the "Doesn't get offered as a hero choice when dragons are available, or vice versa" category.
The game was objectivly more booring and basic when he was around,good ridance
Ben Brode is so sad after see what this game has become... R.I.P.
No fix regarding the fatal crash that prevents you from playing duels.
No ETA for it.
Not even a mention of it.
Shame on you Blizzard.
Why the downvotes? Have i said anything inaccurate?
Yes, you did.
Firstly, a fix comes when they found a fix, it is not like they can just magically remove a bug. We don't know anything about the code after all.
Secondly, there is a workaround. If you are desperately wanting to play duels, you can. Mobile and maybe emulators to fix this exist.
Thirdly, "shame on you" is just a pathetic bs statement out of frustration. So, if you feel better saying that into the void, sure.
These are the reasons I downvoted at least.
@gametest You should try to separate your opinion from your judgement. He wasn't reasonable either, just complaining. Although it still fits your sentence if you thought he wasn't reasonable.
Man Blizzard would be lost without crusaders like yourself.
I think it's unacceptable for a company of this caliber to not find a fix for a critical, game breaking bug that affects the entire player base. For example, I am missing out on 4 packs offered as a lunar new year event if they do not fix it really soon.
They did not even acknowledge it. That's a slap in the face considering how highly priced their products are. I am sure any eta would have been reasonable, but so far silence, in the context where we already had a patch in between.
I cannot run HS on my mobile, a lot of people can't. Assuming anyone can run it on androids is as ignorant as that guy saying "you guys have phones". And emulators? Having to run third party software to fix a game breaking bug should not be a requirement.
This, unfortunately. You could literally post something that's 100% factual like "The human body needs oxygen to survive" and there are those out there that'd claim you're full of hogwash. And it's only gotten worse as of late...
