We've got an update this evening on the known issues that Blizzard is tracking from this weeks patch that brought us the Alterac Valley pre-orders, Battlegrounds & Mercenaries changes, and so much more.

Nicholas "DeckTech" Weiss, Associate Writer at Blizzard, says they're going on vacation next week so we're expecting less communication in the form of forum blue posts that we've recently seen increased since he joined the team earlier this year. Read on for all the details of known issues.

Hey all, we wanted to let you know about some of the issues we’re tracking in 21.8:

  • We rolled out a hotfix today for players who disconnected on the “Choose a Faction” screen and were, as a result, were unable to choose a faction.
  • Cram Session shows the correct Spell Damage modifier, but then does not draw the correct amount of cards with some Spell Damage modifiers (such as Talented Arcanist). The fix for this bug has been entered into a future patch.
  • The Vanndar Hero Skin (from the Fractured in Alterac Valley pre-purchase) and Steel Guardian Malfurion (the new mecha-themed skin) are using the wrong hero power animations. The fix for these has been added into a future patch.
  • We have run a heal-up for players who were not fully fixed when the Vol’jin Mercenaries tasks were corrected last patch.
  • The Search function when building a deck using the Wild card pool on mobile can become locked into only showing all Wild cards, and not allowing more search terms to be added to the search. We are investigating this issue. The current workaround is to either leave the deckbuilding interface entirely and then return to the deck to do a new search; or convert the deck to Standard, clear the search field within the Standard interface, and then convert the deck back to Wild to continue building.
  • Golden cards from the Wild set Goblins versus Gnomes are uncraftable at this time. The fix for this bug has been entered into a future patch.
  • Players are unable to access the Collection Manager’s Hero Skin selection interface while in the Classic format, sometimes resulting in visual bugs and/or lock-ups. The fix for this bug has been entered into a future patch.

We will update this post with other major known issues as we track them. Thank you.
