    Hmm, they were supposed to fix that one by now, annoying.

    Looks like it! I was just adding this and other recently uncovered issues to the list. Let's hope it's just a net positive in your case and they don't mess anything up further.

    Damn, I didn't even look that closely at the size, but it took a while to update. The patches do become quite massive, I wouldn't want to attempt downloading on mobile without WiFi.

    As in, way above my pay grade. But I have it on good authority Sinti and Nirast might know a thing or two about making such crossovers happen.

    Good recognition! I even did that one, what with Lady Vashj also being the final boss of the raid. It's certainly been a little while...

    Yep, that would be next on the list. :) They really gave us some content overload lately.

    You know, I'd hope so. But regardless of intent, it's been rather clear with these reactions it just didn't come across that way. Very difficult, if not impossible, to tell the context between deadly serious and tongue-in-cheek in the absence of any indication as to the latter. Stranger things have caused heated arguments.

    So they might be aware in general (just like with Duels Brann's Hero Power), but apparently reluctant to publicly list all potential disconnect causes in case somebody finds a way to abuse that even more.

    It would've been a fine argument to make on its own, pointing out to the WoW's handling of these cases, and then stopping at that. It's not likely to be a common knowledge within the Hearthstone's realm of things, after all (on a side note, Therazane does not exactly fit the theme/example given, while also being classified as one of the Elemental 'Lords'). 

    But going well beyond that to ascribe such bad intent to somebody's words without there being any proof they would do so purposefully is... too much.

    #Update: As we've kept adding snippets of information following the big announcement, the text has also been largely cleaned up and updated = more details, more context, more to look forward to. They might be onto something here with a far more lively experience on offer!

    They may not respond or just give you a generic answer, since it's officially listed in the Known Issues now.

    That would be cool, finally breathing some new life into the 'eternally neglected' dear mode.

    Update #1: If Constructed balance changes (or lack of them in this particular instance) are close to your heart, then the relevant section has been updated with some developer insights from Iksar himself. It's starting to look like the reign of Drek'Thar might eventually come to an end.

    You know, the other day I left a Mercenaries game in-progress on my mobile device. Of course the client closed down after a while. But then imagine my surprise when I came back the next day (some ~16 hours later) only to... become reconnected to the very same game. That was definitely most unexpected, compared to how this feature behaved previously.

    That really sucks, sorry to hear. Here is hoping they get a quick fix out, otherwise maybe the game will let go once you've been offline for a longer while. We'll be keeping an eye in case somebody manages to find a workaround before Blizzard gets there.

    Yeah, be careful! We've just updated this post with new information as it was added to the blue post on Known Issues. There is also a potential problem with game logins for some accounts. They are working on the fixes.

    Always glad to see what Hunter ideas come out of your workshop!

    Not sure what's the status on that one, but I've seen it brought up just a few days ago here. So still on their radar and being worked on, but must be causing some headaches. Unless the patch surprises us with a working fix and it just wasn't properly documented in the notes.

    That sure is terribly low. I haven't had a chance to play a whole lot of Arena this expansion, but facing Druids has quite often left me feeling like their card quality was just so much better.
