New repeating daily quest – Spelunker: Defeat 5 Dungeon Run encounters. Reward: 1 Classic card pack.

About this repeating daily quest.... does that mean you can get a Classic pack every single day?

It's a new daily quest that will be added to the pool with the others. I probably shouldn't have used the 'repeating' language.

Sorry about that!

I thought that was already the case, I thought games against friends had to be played through to completion.

This feature only happens if someone gets disconnected. You can still just concede the same as always.

Arena

Arena draft appearance rates have been adjusted. Note: Non-Basic Neutral Classic minions represent the baseline for draft appearance rates. Basic/classic neutral minion: .5x Non-basic/classic neutral minion: 1x Most recent set neutral minion: 2x Basic class minion: 2x Basic class spell: 3.5x Non-basic/classic class minion: 2x Non-basic/classic class spell/weapon: 3.5x Most recent set class minion: 4x Most recent set class spell/weapon: 7x As part of our ongoing efforts to improve Class balance in the Arena, we are making small, periodic appearance rate adjustments to specific Arena cards.

I spent two months and losing part of my reddit cred on this. To the people who called me crazy and a conspiracy theorist: I told you so. Wanted to ask a few questions to the devs.

1: Is the Arena issue fixed now? (I presume so, just want to confirm)

2: When you say Basic Classic Spell 3.5x, does this include Basic Classic weapons as well?

3: What was the issue exactly? The Arenadrafts data from one of my other threads pointed to it being off since 7.1, so that's nearly 8 months (possibly) of this being incorrect by a large margin.

4: Is Y'ogg Saron back in Arena? I pointed out that he was missing months ago and he hasn't been added back in yet.
Yes, there was a complex bug that happened sometimes so it was hard to detect and nail down but I think it is all fixed now.

Your posts helped us identify it. Thanks for that.

Didnt get a new Daily Quests today... Is that intentional? I cleared my Questlog yesterday (at around 7pm CET) and today I have still zero Quests.

I restarted the client several times in the last 10 minutes.

We are looking into this!

Np. Sorry for being an ass at times pointing this out.

I wanted to clarify: Are Basic Class weapons included in the Basic Class Spells at 3.5x, because weapons are mentioned in other bonuses, but not with that one.

Weapons and spells should have the same numbers yes.
