      - Undead and Dual-Types are permanent additions to Battlegrounds and will not be leaving at the end of the season. - Dual-Type minions will be offered if EITHER type is available in the lobby (e.g. Pufferquil is available if Naga OR Quilboar are in)

        - This is how the options for Putricide's Creation are chosen: https://t.co/LJJm5sYZ3r

          - Rot Hide Gnoll will keep its attack buffs if resummoned from reborn (or randomly summoned in combat) - Eternal Knights will show buffs in the shop - Nerubian Deathswarmer & Anub'arak, Nerubian King will buff Undead basically everywhere (hand, play, shop, summoned in combat)

            - Corpse Refiner will show how much it sells for in the textbox as its value increases - Helping Hand & Smolderwing are tokens/will not appear in the shop - If you control Cyborg Drake and a minion loses Divine Shield, it will lose the attack buff

              - Multiple Titus Rivendares in play will stack their effects - Titus was always his real name lol - Micro-Mummy is now an Undead/Mech - Though Quests have been removed, you can still play with them as Sire Denathrius

                DUAL TYPES & MENAGERIE For minions like Yrel, Lightfang, etc. where it cares about "each minion type", dual-types will count as 1 of their minion types. Which type it counts is whatever is most optimal. Minions will the "all" type are always a unique type. (1/4)

                  Example 1: You have a Mech, a Beast, and an Undead/Beast in play. Menagerie effects will count the Undead/Beast as "Undead" so that you have 3 types (a Mech, a Beast, and an Undead). (2/4)

                    Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
                    Example 2: You have 7 "All" minions. Menagerie effects will count each All minion as a unique minion type, so all 7 will be buffed. (3/4)

                      Example 3: You have a Mech/Dragon, a Dragon, and a Mech. Since there is no way to get 3 unique minion types here, the Mech/Dragon will randomly count as EITHER Mech or Dragon. So you will only get 2 minions buffed (at random). (4/4)

                        - The Damage Cap will go away only if a hero has died AND the game has reached turn 8/10 Gold. So for example, if a player disconnects on Turn 1, Damage Cap will persist until Turn 8. - Alternatively, if no one has died by Turn 8, the cap will remain until someone dies.

                          - Quests have been removed. - They'll come back eventually.

                            @LoewenMitchell You meant "Diablo" instead of quests right?

                            @LoewenMitchell Was that even a quest-ion? (I'll see myself out)

                          @LoewenMitchell This is a particularly good change especially for lower MMR lobbies where leavers are more common!

                            @MinderRoots I've been wanting to make a change like this for a while and I'm super happy it's finally here.

      @LoewenMitchell How does Corpse Refiner behaves when tripled?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
        @SorrenEZ It'll sum up the extra gold. So for example: Let's say you have 1 copy that sells for 2 extra and another that sells for 3 extra. If you buy a fresh copy in the shop (which sells for 0 extra), the golden will combine and sell for 2+3+0=5 extra.

        • SorrenEZ
          Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell ok, so it doesn't double

          • Mitchell Loewen
            Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
            @SorrenEZ Correct

      @LoewenMitchell Is the season 8 leaderboard frozen?

        @Jkirek_ It should be

      @LoewenMitchell I've noticed a change to vol'jin's interaction with aura effects; they now don't reapply immediately, but *do* apply the next turn. Was this an intentional change, and if so, why?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
        @Jkirek_ That sounds like a bug. Do you have a clip?

        • Jkirek_
          Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell I'll make a clip once the vod from today is posted 👍 (can only do that by ending stream)

            @Jkirek_ @LoewenMitchell You can watch your current VOD while live if you ever feel like time traveling. Also this is basically the uther aura bug right?

            • Mitchell Loewen
              Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
              @pocky_plays @Jkirek_ My assumption is yes, likely similar bug

      • Jkirek_
        Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
        @LoewenMitchell Extra question; my opponents' minion types are showing as blank every now and then, is this a known issue?

        • Mitchell Loewen
          Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
          @Jkirek_ Also sounds like a bug. Do you have a screenshot?

          • Jkirek_
            Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
            @LoewenMitchell All heroes look like this, with accurate tiers/triples/fight history, but no types https://t.co/MYUQsFNi3Z

          Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell Very weird one; playing as Sire Denathrius hovering over yourself only shows your heropower: https://t.co/kDYjn5GFkn

          • Mitchell Loewen
            Posted 2 years, 10 months ago (Source)
            @Jkirek_ Before or after quest completion (or both)?

              @LoewenMitchell @Jkirek_ Both, as a fellow player in lobby too

      @LoewenMitchell I can't find the armor tier of Drek'Thar on the new Updated Hero Armor Tiers Table in 25.2 Patch Note. Please can you tell me the armor tier of Drek'Thar?

          @YesSeven Thanks for spotting that! The patch notes should be updated to add the missing heroes soon

      @LoewenMitchell I picked up a putricide creation with the Bigglesworth hero power but afterwards it changed name to the original minion, lost most of its text and some of the stats. When I played it on board it still had divine shield tho. Very weird, seemed like a bug

        @SorrenEZ Definitely strange. Sounds like a bug
