Bug- gettign 50 gold quests

Since last patch.. You were guaranteed a 60 gold quest per day and only got 50 if you re rolled..

Edit: the title have a typo, I am aware..

I rolled like a 50 into another 50. Never had that happen to me for like the past three months. So no idea whats going on.

But hey, at least there's some incentive to reroll every day.

You were not guaranteed 60g quests.  I play on 3 regions so see 3 quests (or up to 6 with reroll) each day and occasionally got a 50g quest (which I always rerolled to 60g).

But 60g was the most likely - and 50g was rare (for me at least).

Since the patch now I'm primarily getting 50g each day and 50g with reroll.  I'm reluctant to assume my experiences (and tiny sample size) applies to everyone and is indicative of a change, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Happy for this to be a bug but I suspect it was actually what it was supposed to be all along.

edit: rereading this post I overused parentheses.  I won't do it anymore (I am lying).

I overuse parentheses (a lot) too, don't worry.

This is a bug you were guaranteed to get a 60 gold quest when you re rolled a 60 gold quest you will always get a 50 one:

I can't find the patch where it was introduced but I strictly remember this change being made!

I am noting that now new quests are much more likely to be 50g, and rerolling 50g often results in a new 50g quest.

Not addressing rerolling 60g into 50g (which you are right is intended to be 100% chance).

:)

I too got a 50 gold quest and rerolled into another 50 gold quest. This has happened at most one time since the last update to daily quests.

I think it is where I tried to delete it.

And I thought, I'm just very unlucky atm.

Friday: Got 50g, rerolled into 50g

Saturday: the same

Sunday: Got a 60g, rerolled an old 50g into a new 50g

Before the latest patch I rarely got a 50g quest in general, and if so, I always rerolled it into 60g.

Quote From Patch Notes

 

We’ve cut some of the less popular daily quests (such as quests requiring you to play Divine Shield Minions, Overload Cards, Secrets, 50 Murlocs, etc) and tuned down some quest requirements to make quests generally easier to complete.

Daily quests have also been split into two buckets: Easy (50g) and Slightly More Difficult (60g). Rerolling a Slightly More Difficult (60g) quest (like Play 10 Beasts) will always give you an Easy (50g) quest, so you can get Easy quest every day if you’d like.

We’ve also added some new daily quests that we’re excited for you to discover!

 

Yes, since the last update 50g quests are way more common than they used to be.

You were not guaranteed that 60g quest will reroll into 50g. It was a most common result, but I rerolled it quite a few times into different 60g quest and sometimes into 80g/100g/pack quest. 

50g quest did reroll into 60g ones most of the time, but not always. They would sometimes reroll into different 50g quest or into 80g/100g/pack quest. 

Also, where are those "win 3 games in dungeon run" type quests that rewarded pack from latest expansion? Haven't seen one in a long time.

Yesterday and today, I rerolled my 50g quest into a 60g one

2 of my 50g quests rerolled into 50g, 1 50g rerolled to a 60g

Dont know why there needs to be a 50g quest when its obvious any hearthstoner thats grinding these stuff will pick the 60g ones.

It might as well be 60g by default, to be rerolled into a possible 50, 80 or 100 depending on luck.

But as of late, been seeing more 50g than usual. And its been a long time since this has happened. Hope the devs come out with a statement soon

I think all quests should give less gold, but we should also get a lot more rewards from playing/winning games. Instead of getting the majority of our gold from the quest and then every third win getting an insult, we should earn around 50% of the gold from logging on and doing a simple task, but then getting the rest from winning/playing.

Agreed. But probably unworkable. That means it might actually be possible to never buy, just grind for packs. While I am in wholehearted support of a model like this, activision is unlikely to approve.

Another method is to reduce the daily quest takings and improve winning rewards. Like 30g per quest, 20g every 3 wins, or even 10g every win. Unfortunately, this will likely spark a backlash from the community, and incentivize netdecking, playing highest win rated decks, or just plain fast aggro decks for the grind.

I think its fair enough to have 10g every 3 wins, miserable as it is. Grinding with face hunter yields quick results, even if you dont climb up ranks. Increase that and its probably wiser to just grind with face hunter. And I've personally no intention of seeing 50% of face hunters in the meta, all grinding for gold.

Something is definitely bugged. Got four 50 gold quests in the last three days. Got two 50 gold quests on both my accounts today. Rerolling resulted in 2x50 again.

It's annoying for sure. 

Today I got my first 60g quest without rerolling and another one when rerolling. I start to believe that the previous state of receiving only 60g was the anomaly...

To reiterate what frenzy already said, it was never guaranteed that you would start with 60g quest or better.  It just seemed very common that people got a 60g quest to start.

It is possible this was happening more than intended, and perhaps they adjusted the algorithm to give more 50g quests.  OR the more likely situation, some of you have just been unlucky in your awarded quests lately.  That or I’ve been very luck as I personally have seen no change in 60g quest frequency, or in reroll potential of 50g quests when I get them

Certainly I'm careful not to claim my personal experiences are statistically valid proof of anything, but I've seen a marked and clear change since the patch, and not just on 1 account but all 3.

That and this thread posted about the same issue at the same time here, and one on another well known HS forum with similar experiences.

I'm currently concluding the 50 v 60 bias has been changed deliberately, a state which may or may not have been the intention all along.

I'm more than prepared to be wrong though (and hope I am).

stealth nerfing quests seems like a pretty BS move from blizzard (I also got much more 50g quests than before)

I think they would consider it a bug fix since I assume 50g was supposed to be the weighted quest type all along.

Certainly in the old system the lowest quest reward was the most common, and I doubt that was supposed to have changed this time.  We were probably lucky to get 60g default for so long.

Again I don't have any proof of this, it's just what seems to fit best here.
