25.2 Known Issues - Bugs: Minion Stat Swaps - Hero Power Upgrades Blocked - Arfus Achievement
The Known Issues blog post is up for Patch 25.2 and it has several big and small issues listed that are under investigation, or sometimes already fixed!
Quote from BlizzardPatch 25.2 is now available, bringing with it the new Battlegrounds Season 3! We’ll be using this post to track issues that pop up during the 25.2 patch period.
The issues we’re tracking this patch include:
- Hearthstone: Magister's Apprentice had its stats unintentionally swapped. The team is tracking reports of other cards having unintended adjustments as well.
- Hearthstone: The new Omen Demon Hunter hero skin unintentionally blocks getting an upgraded Hero Power.
- Battlegrounds: Minions that Baltharak (one of the Mecha-Demons generated by Mecha-Jaraxxus) Magnetizes to lose Reborn when the minion gets tripled.
- [Resolved 1/17] Battlegrounds: The team is tracking a bug causing server de-syncs (resulting in players seeing different life totals and results from combat).
- [Resolved 1/17] Battlegrounds: Sin’dorei Straight Shot’s effect is not removing Taunt like it should, only Reborn.
- Mercenaries/Achievements: There is a Mercenaries achievement for Arfus, but Arfus will not be added to the game until a future patch.
~~
- Battlegrounds: We have temporarily removed the following Heroes from the Hero Pool while we address a couple unintended interactions: Scabbs Cutterbutter, Tess Greymane, Tamsin Roame, and Illidan Stormrage. We have also temporarily removed Murozond from the Minion Pool at this time.
~~
We will update this post as we get more information to share.
And what about shop being permanently closed?
I
I just had a game that Xyrella hero power bugged Rot Hide Gnoll.
A 2/2 Rot Hide Gnoll that didnt receive the +1 attack after a minion died.
can say i saw tamsin in action before she was removed my GOD her hero power is busted with all these reborn minions
Hey pretty cool that Arfus is going to be in mercs!
Maybe they’ll revive mercs from the dead zombeast style 🤞🏻 (lol, jk, never happening)
Yeah, the Illidan + Blanchy interaction was definitely not intended.
Buffoons.
and the BG ratings is not reset for me
They reset after your first game in Battlegrounds. Same as the last season. They haven't fixed it. Again.
I always assumed it was intentional, is it not? So people can see where they ended up in the previous season, before Q'ing first game of next season.
Nah, it's just because guys at Blizzard didn't make the same sequence of screens as the one that's shown upon monthly traditional Hearthstone season reset. You know, the one where you see where you ended up last month and open the ranked reward chest. Battlegrounds results should be included in that screen, too. Or there should be a separate battlegrounds results screen.
Right now it makes no sense to queue with 2000 points, take first place, and end up with 300 points total.
