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.

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.
I am no crusader, just aknowledging that work takes time. But really nice to swipe my criticism of you away by calling me names. How immature. Also, I apologize for the 'pathetic'. It was late that night and I got carried away a bit.
You paint it like they don't want to fix it, just bc they didn't do it immediatly.
And you know literally nothing of their work, so stop painting it like you know it is easily solvable.
It doesn't affect the entire player base either, where did you get that bullshit? Only some ppl who had an open heroic run during the patch that didn't do the workaround by now, are affected. You might be one of them, but surely not the entire playerbase.
Don't worry, you'll get your fix of free packs. It would be the first time that, if someone is barred from a free pack due to a bug, they didn't get compensation/the packs. Don't freak out...
As I said, they do have mentioned the bug in their bluepost of the initial patch, saying they are working on a fix. What do you want? Another "we are still working on a fix"-update? What would that give you? Ôo
No, but it is a workaround of the duels bug and it is definetly faster. Just was a helpful suggestion, since you seem to be terrified of not playing duels right fucking now. Not terrified enough to just help yourself it seems though. Then you'll need to wait until they figured out what to do to solve it.
So... no Vandar hero nerf?
Ok
Vanndar is even better now with those pesky Battle Totem Mages gone!
discs going to ultra rare should limit big vandar somewhat... hopefully
dunno about Slate losing easy access to double dr's tho. are they pushing for quest hunter in duels?
Tarecgosa needed that, although, I don’t think it will have much downstream effect. The classic combo is to go straight to t4 after tarecgosa to get a prized protodrake. The other tarecgosa combos involve abusing a tier 1 imp that needs to be leveled, golden and combined with baron rivendare for reliability and effect. Likewise, this is why tavish is a decent character but drekthar isn’t. It makes you wonder if they reverted the beast, elemental and quillboar nerfs if they would be able to keep up with dragons and murlocs again.
At least there will be fewer copies in the pool as a tier 4 than before, so it will not be as easy to get a pair, or even worse a triple and more early enough to matter.
Definitely. This is a solid nerf to ysera.
Why tho? Just do the workaround?
Did it pretty much on day 1 of the patch and am playing since then without any problems.
not everyone's mobile has space/running power for HS
Would trying it in an emulator be an alternative? (I don't know what you use, but maybe worth a try.)
And you assume Loris is one of those becaaaaause? I mean, you have to know that he is one of those, since you answered for him, right?
Anyways, emulators should work and are pretty easy, otherwise just wait.
I actually tried but the workaround didn't work.
Damn, that sucks! :(
Did you emulate it or try to find the handle of the safe on your phone? I used an android, maybe it is an IOS thing?
I also tried to do it on the desktop version, but that doesn't work for sure. *flashbacks of me clicking for minutes*
Still can't play Duels. Bugged.
No change to Barov?
"Made progress on a bug where players were locked out of the Mercenaries Training Grounds." And there I locked myself out of mercs just cause it sucks. Anyway...
The tarec nerf was needed, but it's the end game in general that needs a revamp. I reckon a minion that somehow "can't be poisoned" would be good, because I do like having some poison in.
Drakonid Enforcer changed from tier 4 garbage to tier 3 garbage... Yay?
Eh, at T3 I don't think it's necessarily garbage given it's now on the same tier as Bronze Warden and closer to Selfless Hero. Is it good now? Probably not, but it's not the hot garbage it was on T4.
Terecgosa nerf is huge was broken for a long long time
