25.4 Known Issues - Test Subject Banned from Wild - Various Art and Animation Issues & More
The usual Known Issues Post for Patch 25.4 with various bugs and issues. Read them below!
Quote from BlizzardHello all,
Patch 25.4 launches today, bringing the Return to Naxxramas Mini-Set, the Mercenaries Mythic Boss Rush, and more! Follow this post for details on known issues being tracked with this patch.
The issues we’re tracking this patch include:
- Test Subject is temporarily banned due to an unintended interaction in Wild. The card will be un-banned when an adjustment is made.
- Diamond Zephrys can be found in-game, but the card is not ready yet and is not available.
- From De Other Side’s art is not showing correctly.
- In Mercenaries, Old God corruption has reached their Diamond animations, which now aren’t displaying properly.
- [Resolved 2/14] In Mercenaries, the team is aware that a non-Mercenary card back is appearing in Mercenaries Packs. This is not intended. Mercenaries pack opening has been re-enable. The issue with the packs has been resolved. Affected players will receive compensation at a later time.
- [Added 2/14] We are tracking reports of a bug with the Blazing Transmutation card pool.
- [Added 2/14] The team is investigating reports of players replaying the Hearthstone tutorial and then being able to progress quests and certain other progression after that.
Additionally, some players are unable to access the Shop. We have identified the issue and working on a solution. Until then, your reports have identified a workaround for PC:
- Go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 10
- Download and install X86 from that site or through this permalink: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe 10
- Installing the above seems to resolve the issue for PC users.
We will continue to update this post as we get more information.
just nerf the face dmg from the new spell to 2 or 1 and the otk gonna be too long to execute
Damn, imagine getting banned in the only mode you're available
You just know they're going to change Test Subject to something shit to fix it all, wouldn't be surprised if the really fun Boar OTK priest is never going to work again despite being a meme that isn't worth addressing.
What I hope they'll do: "After a spell is cast on this minion, this remembers it. Deathrattle: Add the spells to your hand"
What they'll probably do: 8 mana.
You mean APM Priest would be a thing of the past? Good bye and good riddance.
Well that would actually be the perfect solution for now, but I think it will say "your charge minions have +2 attack"
Is anyone else still locked out of the shop?
Are you on Windows 7? Have you tried installing that file mentioned in the blue post?
Sorted. I downloaded the fix, ta.
I'm sorry, but how absolutely disingenuous those patch notes are. What they said about Test Subject is the equivalent of saying "I didn't intend to fail high school" while not doing any homework. No crap it wasn't intended, but this interaction, whether on purpose, is working exactly as "intended".
after my opponent played Goldshire Gnoll on turn 4, evolved it into Thaddius, Monstrosity and coined out a 1 mana Glugg the Gulper, i just want to remind everybody that this game blows, it sucks, it is BAD and the devs literally don't know what they are doing.
hearthstone will never be like it once was. never. just uninstall and play another game like this is just ridiculous. yes i'm mad. and games should be fun.
Evolve Shaman being good all expansion is a true failure
This community needs over 9000 Szenarios becouse for them iż actually looks balanced and healthy
They could also fix the fact that multiple of the mercenaries are bugged when leveled up past the max for Boss Rush mode. Mostly seems to be characters that add buff to power/toughness. Mukla's bananas, Yu'lon's buff, etc. I blew thousands of renown trying to buff them to beat the bosses and they're bugged.
One of the devs (Gallon iirc) said that Blazing Transmutation shouldn't be able evolve a minion into Neptulon the Tidehunter before the mini set was released.
Apparently they didn't even check if this is correct before making that statement.
And now people have to deal with this broken interaction until the next patch?
Why can they hotfix everything that involves the possibility of losing money within a few hours but take weeks or sometimes even months to fix game breaking bugs?
The fix for the broken interaction between Envoy Rustwix and Tamsin's Phylactery e.g. actually took them so many months that Rustwix already rotated out of standard before it finally got fixed.
We can only hope that the discontinuation of the Mercenaries mode will lead to faster actions due to increased resources.
But i wouldn't bet on it tbh.
I don't understand why that would even be the case. Neptulon is a normal 10 cost minion, there's no reason it should be excluded from pools.
They made an exception for colossus minions because of the additional minions they spawn. It was clearly stated that colossus minions would be excluded from the evolve pool because of this interaction.
But why. They sure as hell didn't make an exception for those minions in revive pools and it's more exploitable there.
Oh yeah definitely but that's just how it is. Probably because we have no res mechanics in standard right now that could bring back a colossus.
NOPE. It is not resolved but good for them to put that they did solve something on the list, right?
