Chris Sierra has provided an update on the issues that popped up in yesterday's 15.6 Hearthstone Patch.
- A patch is coming on Monday or Tuesday next week to address a handful of issues.
- Daily quest rerolls will be fixed in that update along with memory optimization in Battlegrounds for mobile devices.
- Some issues have already been fixed on the server-side.
- Other issues are still being investigated.
Quote From Chris Sierra In the latest 15.6 patch, Battlegrounds was launched into Early Access. Unfortunately, some bugs also made it into the live game, and the team has been hard at work making sure these get fixed as quickly as possible. Here’s a status update on things:
On Monday (or potentially Tuesday), we’re aiming to ship a 15.6.2 patch that will include the following:
- Squelch working as intended + no longer causing crashes under certain circumstances
- Daily Quests can now be rerolled
- Hallow’s End Arena Daily Quest can now be completed
- A variety of Android crashes have been fixed
- Memory optimization for Battlegrounds for devices with less than 2GB of RAM
Here are some things that have been resolved with a server patch (meaning you don’t have to download it) that’s already live:
- Spells now trigger Overkill effects
- Sathrovarr can now no longer target enemy minions with its Battlecry
- New Daily Quests can be obtained
- Big Boss Battle Quest can now be completed by just playing two matches and should only be accessible by players with Battlegrounds access
The team is continuing to investigate the following issues:
- Login issues
- Friends List appearing empty
- Decks missing cards / appearing incomplete
- Samsung Galaxy Note devices not being able to use the phone’s S-Pen stylus
- Unable to re-add a card back into a deck (workaround: remove the ghosted card and then attempt it)
If you encounter other problems, please let us know in the comments below. We appreciate you bearing with us and we’re sorry for the rockiness. Once we have info on the remaining issues, we’ll be sure to update this thread.

My 1000 win Pala hero skin doesn't show up in game.. He's my fav but once I'm in a game it changes to Uther
I am not getting quests anymore, it this a known issue?
Gotta love software, it seems to work great and passes all the tests, and then millions of people try to break it. It looks like a long weekend for Team 5.
All the basic cards are missing from my collection. Also affected by the note big. Practically impossible to anything but tavern brawl and arena. Hopefully there is some form of compensation.
No re-rolling quests is KILLING ME.
I have the "watch a friend play a game, win a pack" quest and it's USELESS because I have all the cards in standard, I need gold for the expansion, not another Nat Pagle
I try t play standard quest druid and it keeps saying i cant use this deck in this mode. I double checked and it’s my regular list... it let’s me Iuse all my other decks. Anyone else running into this problem. I’m 28 wins from the golden portrait and want to finish it
I had something like that when i had added Ragnaros and the deck became wild. turned out i used my old ragnaros from the hall of fame instead of the temporary Ragnaros.
My workaround: Go to your deck editor. Open the deck. Save it. Open it again. Save it. Problem solved.... until you start Hearthstone again, than you have to repeat this
one week is a lot of time. sick people are abusing squelch and keep emoting and its so annoying...
That seemed to be my world prior anyway, so not having the ability to squelch and some people taking advantage of knowing it's disabled is frustrating. In a non-related note, talking with a friend recently we determined that I also have a much higher tendency to get roped than anyone I know... *BabyRage*
Yeah this is pretty annoying. Also the daily quest reroll will be missed until then.
Such bugs could be avoided if they put more time into testing their game it's kind of unacceptable to have such bugs specially if they happened before, every single patch...
Use your income.. Hire more testers ffs, hope the losses of such releases teaches blizzard a lesson..
I got one of those new play three games with any of these three classes quests, and thought they made them un-rerollable. Memory optimization is nice too. My phone is old.
did you manage to do this quest btw?
I played a game in tavern brawl with one of the classes, lost the game and the counter didn't change
before when the word "play" was used on a quest it meant that you didn't have to win the game for the quest to count this toward the goal
I believe the counter doesn't go up if you concede the game. You have to win or let your opponent kill you. If they choose to BM you just have to suffer through it.
Worked for me. Did the brawl three times as hunter, I think I won twice, don't remember. Then I got the same quest with different classes today, and won three in a row with a token druid deck.
I hope it was a coincidence that I got that quest twice, and not some other bug. I don't really want to do the same shit over and over until the patch.
Edit: Now three days in a row. I'm leaning towards bug.
Same here
Played 3 tavern brawl matches with the same class. Lost the first 2 and won the third. Only by winning did the counter register play one game instead of 3. I guess play means win now. just another bug in a never ending debacle. LoR cant come soon enough
Weird i played 3 tavern brawls as warlock and it counted all 3 towards Quest. After my 3th loss in a row i got the 60g
Again, information being provided via reddit! What's wrong with these people when they have a Technical Support thread in every forum page??!
I saw this post first on their forums
and to be honest I think way more people actually goes on reddit or websites like outofcards or hearthpwn than on blizz forums
