        @Jkirek_ Will double check, but if he can't we'll fix it in the next available hotfix.

        - If Patient Scout is tripled, it will keep the highest tier out of the 3 minions that made it (e.g. if you have ones at Tier 3, Tier 2, and Tier 1, the Golden will be Tier 3) - Tarecgosa will not keep the debuff from Whitemane - The debuff from Whitemane will stack

          - Ethereal Evidence is weighted so that stronger rewards are rarer - Volatile Vemon is an aura and will apply to all friendly minions (including summons in combat) - Kidnap Sack can target the shop

            Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
            - Cooked Book, Another Hidden Body, Ghastly Mask, Alter Ego, Friends Along The Way, and Hidden Treasure Vault are all banned from Ethereal Evidence - Ethereal Evidence is also banned from Ethereal Evidence lol - The secret 25th reward is also banned 😉

              @LoewenMitchell i got the wheel of yogg with ethereal evidence and didn't get a spin, is this intentional?

                @ninaisnoob It should spin at the start of your next turn

              - Hidden Treasure Vault has no cap and will stack with the gold you would have normally generated on your turn (e.g. if you are on turn 7 where you normally gain 9 Gold and HTV is at 3 Gold, you'll start with 12 Gold. Next turn you'd start with 14 (10+4), then 15 (10+5), etc.)

                - Patient Scout WILL NOT upgrade in hand. It must be in play at end of turn to upgrade

                  @LoewenMitchell If you have 1 in play and 1 in hand does the golden start at the tier of the one in play or at tier 1? If you have 2 in play but at different tiers what happens when you make it golden?

                  - "Dies horribly" on Volatile Venom is a reference to Power Overwhelming. It's the same as normal dying, but slightly worse. A deathier death, if you will. https://t.co/14Mi6MGnlT

                    - Ghastly Mask works with C'Thun's upgrade - Atramedes is hiding, but I will find him. I hear his heart beating... - Vashj's HP will make The Golden Hammer's effect permanent - Dozy Whelp will trigger Whelp Smuggler in combat, but Whelp Smuggler's buff is not permanent

                      - Faceless Disciple was temporarily disabled due to a bug. It will be back soon - Interrogator Whitemane will debuff 2 minions if it lines up correctly (e.g. if you had 1 minion and your opponent has 2) - Interrogator Whitemane cannot give the enemy hero a debuff

      @LoewenMitchell Seeing a lot of people saying they are getting locked out of taking actions by playing Faceless Manipulator on a minion in the shop. I had the bug as well.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner It's been investigated. Thanks for the report!

            @LoewenMitchell Great, thanks. Is there a known issues thread / post somewhere for this patch? IIRC there usually is one somewhere.

              @AaronCLerner There's this one: https://t.co/AC1byA40Sz It's missing a few things that I know the team is investigating though

    • Zeprido
      Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Could this interaction be looked at? Faceless is currently bugged, if you upgrade a shop minion and buy it, interaction with the hand stops. 2 temporary solutions, if you still have gold, rerolling the shop fixes it, the other is either wait til next turn or restart the client.

      @LoewenMitchell Wait - the spellcraft to turn a minion golden - is that permanent on vashj?

      • Mitchell Loewen

        @Isaac_Netero Yup

    • AaronCLerner

      @LoewenMitchell Can Shudderwock get Kidnap Sack or is that banned? Seems like it could be an issue with Shudderlings.

      @LoewenMitchell As a former taunt enthusiast I'm excited to dive in! Were spawn & Yrel mainly removed to make space or were they problematic for the stat increase quest?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
        @Shadybunnylive More for space

    • Isaac_Netero
      Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Is this "choose from two QUEST rewards"? I'm sure it is but I wanted to clarify. And if so, can you get things like mirror shield in a murloc lobby for a turn, or is it only the current lobby's quest pool? https://t.co/FB4qZaybt2

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
        @Isaac_Netero It should respect minion type bans for rewards

        • Isaac_Netero
          Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell Thank you!! What about for heroes such as cooked book on gally?

            @Isaac_Netero Cooked Book is banned from Ethereal Evidence

      @LoewenMitchell Sorry I’m late to this thread and revelation. Why’d my Nightmare Amalgam get the boot? 😭 https://t.co/Tq2Ny2iQ2W

        @ben_heathstone To make room for this one! https://t.co/8kihoMsczH

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Think there might be an issue with Golden Hammer. I've seen it not give the golden minion base-stat change to minions it is used on for me. I also just watched Dog use it on a 15/15 Zapp (b/c of Uther) and it just became a golden 15/15. Is that intended?

      • AaronCLerner
        Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
        @LoewenMitchell And then the next turn, when he came out of combat, the Zapp was an 8/5. Something definitely wrong there.

              Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
              @LoewenMitchell @DCalkosz Is this intended behavior or a bug? The Spellcraft from Kidnap Sack ticks the Another Hidden Body counter to 12/12 but the reward from AHB doesn't get added to hand until Bofur takes another action. You can even see the [0] counter on AHB. https://t.co/ngp9F5fOT9

                Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
                @LoewenMitchell @DCalkosz Somewhat related, I've had instances of Golden Hammer and Kidnap Sack not getting added to hand at the start of the turn until I take another action.

                • Mitchell Loewen
                  Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
                  @AaronCLerner @DCalkosz Yup this is a bug. They should give you your card though after taking any action (including something that doesn't seem like an action like moving a minion on your board, or even picking it up and putting it back in the same spot)

                  • AaronCLerner
                    Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
                    @LoewenMitchell @DCalkosz Yes, I noticed that behavior. Thanks!

                      @LoewenMitchell @DCalkosz It’s a small, small case because it seems Sire specific, but in that Bofur clip, he’s able to get a 6 drop from AHB by making that first action to increase his tavern tier.
