Patch 29.0 is now live. Join us in celebrating 10 years of Hearthstone! This patch includes tons of card updates, preparations for Whizbang’s Workshop and new year, and more. Unfortunately, with a patch of this size, there are a few issues.

[Updated 3/15] [Tavern Brawl] This week’s Tavern Brawl (“Say My Name”) is being temporarily disabled while we investigate an issue causing lag and crashes. We will update this post when we have more information. Update: We’ve taken some steps to mitigate the issues and re-enabled the Tavern Brawl. We’ll be monitoring the game data to determine if further actions are needed.

The following is a list of issues we’re tracking this patch:

  • [Added 3/11] [Battlegrounds] The team is looking into reports that using Greta to goldenize certain Spellcraft minions doesn’t result in giving their Golden Spellcraft spell that turn.
  • [Updated 3/12] [General] The team is aware that some players are stuck on the exterior game box when trying to enter the app. The team is investigating the issue. In the meantime, there is a workaround: Player reports indicate that the buttons on the box still function, just aren’t visible, so the solution to this problem is to repeatedly tap/click in the middle of the box where the buttons should be, until you get a response. (If you have sound on, you will hear the buttons working). Update: another potential workaround has been found–it appears the problem might be caused by not having Battlegrounds downloaded when claiming Battlegrounds-based Twitch Drops–so downloading Battlegrounds may also resolve the issue.
  • [Added 3/13] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that Galactic Projection Orb might not work under certain circumstances.
  • [Added 3/12] [Hearthstone] Ysera may be giving the wrong version of her Dream cards. We’re taking her to a therapist to analyze her dreams.
  • [Added 3/14] [Hearthstone] Sonya Waterdancer is able to give a copy of herself when played for 1 mana. This is not intended and will be resolved in an upcoming hotfix.
  • [Added 3/14] [Hearthstone] Crane Game sometimes doesn’t function as intended. The team has determined the cause of the issue and will resolve it in an upcoming update.

3/19: Whizbang’s Workshop is now live!

  • [Added 3/19] [General] Some players are reporting that the “Year of” calendar rotation did not work on their first attempt. Logging out and relogging seems to fix the issue.
  • [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] The Li’Na, Shop Manager Signature card is being granted to some players before they are able to collect Li’Na on the Rewards Track. The team is investigating the issue and resolution.
  • [Added 3/19] [Shop] Players are reporting various performance issues with the Shop. The team is investigating.
  • [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Zilliax’s Power Module is sometimes giving the wrong cosmetic finish. The team is still working on unity, precision, and perfection.
  • [Added 3/19] [Shop] The team is investigating Diamond King Plush not triggering a re-roll option like expected.
  • [Added 3/19] [Web] The website deckbuilder hasn’t been updated for the new year yet.
  • [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Spirit of the Badlands doesn’t seem to be in the spirit for Miniaturize cards and doesn’t leave Minis.
  • [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Galactic Projection Orb can hit functionally dead minions in between spells. The team is exploring the mysteries of the universe for answers.
  • [Added 3/19] [Hearthstone] Cards that deal yourself fatigue damage (like Baritone Imp and Crescendo) as part of their effect don’t progress Amethyst Spellstone.
