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.
Are there anyone else, who can't login into the game?
"unintended Interaction" that the community figured out 2 seconds after reveal
I'm convinced the devs don't even play their game anymore
Other bugs:
Haunting Nightmare doesnt work on coin
Ironweave Bloodletter in Duels triggers whenever any corpse is used not just your own.
Cannot get the new set on iOS yet.
Opening mercenaries packs (Didn't pay for them, grinded them) sometimes show card backs instead of something else, and then freezing the client, can't continue, have to quit out. They may have discovered it and stopped the pack opening for now cause I can't open any more.
I cant open any merc pack at all
Noone cares whether you "payed for them, or grinded them" LOL 😆
A card that was put from Boomsday Project Puzzles to main game as a collectible card due to lack of creativity and that was completely useless for 5 years since it was printed now is banned due to "unintended interaction".
That's how Wild works.
Oh dear, sweet summer child, you have no fucking idea how much of a fucking nightmare APM Priest was. Embalming Ritual during Uldum made shit that much worse...
Ffs why i cant challenge a friend.
Why ban test subject and not the new card until it rotates....
I think the likely answer to this is that moving forward, Test Subject itself will become a bigger problem as more Priest buff spells are introduced. APM Priest was an absolute pain in the ass to deal with, and as long as Test Subject is able to be given Embalming Ritual, it makes it so that every single cheap Priest buff causes this issue to come up again and again. Even if you change Embalming Ritual to target only Undead minions, something as simple as an inexpensive enchantment to resummon a minion causes this shit to pop up again.
It's less a new card risks warping a format, it's more that an existing card warps the format because every single Priest buff spells or enchantment that are released going forward risk this issue popping up again. It's not as simple a fix as it was for Hysteria, where simply adding a word fixed the card.
Because banning one of the few cards that just dropped and that people are paying for right now will cause more problems than the core combo card that's been around for years and is the main issue.
lots of people are excited to play the new card. not so much test subject.
most people will not even notice that test subject is banned.
I'd say that maybe, just maybe, they should nerf the actual problem card which is Radiant Elemental? Hm?
Because it's a wild only problem? Test subject is not in standard, it already rotated years ago. If they didn't ban it, the ladder would be infested with turn 3 OTK
I'd agree. There are very few instances that I think the game shouldn't have ".... but not less than (1)." on discount cards like that (Mechwarper, Apprentice, Radiant, etc.). Everything else just naturally slides into degenerate nonsense.
