Just shot you a DM, can you reply to that when you get a second? Thanks Bearly!

Hey Yorkley, just shot you a DM! Would you mind taking a look at that when you get a sec? Thanks!

Good frick, that's quite the board 🤯

will there also be an arena rotation with the update?

That is coming in 16.4 my friend! Soon!

The watcher nerf was needed but really disappointed that this is the only change we are getting in Battlegrounds after no content for a month. I really hope more frequent and abundant updates come in the future.

I mentioned this in the 16.2.3 Update thread I posted, but we have some things coming that I think will turn that frown upside down. Don't worry my friend, we got you covered <3

Greetings Friends!  

We have a small 16.2.4 server-side patch going live tomorrow with the following changes:  

  • Floating Watcher is moving from Tavern Tier 3 → Tavern Tier 4
  • Fixed an issue that caused Galakrond the Nightmare's cost-reduction priority to negate the cost-increase effects of cards such as Boompistol Bully and Loatheb.  

Once these changes have gone live, I'll be sure to update this thread!  

Cheers,
Chris_Attalus

2/13 UPDATE: We are starting to roll this out now! Please note that this may take some time for you to pick-up these changes.

There were some issues but these have since been resolved! Carry on friendos!

FYI, that account is almost certainly not Bryan Cranston. This is the account that Bryan Cranston used for his AMA 6 years ago.

(The account has been inactive since that time.)

LOL YOU LOOKED IT UP, you're a god... thanks!

I was just about to post this, thanks :)

Hi Chris! Did this patch address the Boompistol Bully interaction with cards drawn by Rogue's Galakrond?

This did not but we are looking into this one!

Awesome! Thanks!

No worries my dude!

Was there any fix/update on the Battleground result discrepancies between two players? It had happened to me and a friend and I think I saw a post on here before about it happening to another pair of players. This is the one where the results you see are different than the results an opponent sees and can result in both players losing a round and taking damage (different amounts).

This is actually part of the de-sync issue I mentioned above... this should be resolved!

Can we get a fix on the recruit/combat spoiler, which tells you if you have won or not, in battlegrounds?

This will be fixed in the upcoming 16.4 update :)

Thanks for the info! What is the best way to report an issue?

On this thread or here at our Bug Reporting forums that our Customer Service team monitors! Thanks!

I think the removal of Amalgam was something good for the game. Amalgam was onmipresent, and no strat could hope to survive without it.

That being said, Amalgam gave poisonous to all line ups, so super beefy minions was not such a viable late game strat. Without Amalgam, the stat amassing demons have a big advantage on the game, even if they dont always finish first place.

Maybe adding some dual-tribe minions in T3 could be an answer to this situation?

Appreciate the specific feedback here! Noted!

Any news on the next arena rotation ?

This will be a part of the upcoming 16.4 patch!

starwarzguy

Awesome, thanks for the update about the update. ;)

Not a problem Mr. Guy!

I love battlegrounds but I feel like the only way to win now since they removed nightmare amalgam is to play demons or play Tirion and play minions without an archetype.

I'm curious: do you miss Amalgam or do you wish Amalgam would return?

starwarzguy

Thanks for the fixes!
Any ETA on the animations update that was mentioned here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/ewinqr/now_weve_sped_up_battlegrounds_animations_can_we/fg4rhtj/

Really looking forward to this as a mobile player.

Me too! No ETA quite yet but stay tuned, we'll keep everyone updated once that's ready to go live!

Update: This is coming in the 16.4 patch :)

Hey Friends,

Just a short time ago, we started rolling out a small client update that addresses the following issues:

  • Fixed an issue where de-syncing (a discrepancy between what the client shows vs. what is actually occurring on the server) would sometimes occur when Soul Juggler was dealing damage or when Deathrattles spawned minions in Battlegrounds.
  • Art for Heroes + Hero Powers will now properly populate on mobile devices when the optional data download is paused.
  • When the Air Raid Twinspell is played, the copy generated will now be the correct rarity.
  • Risky Skipper is now a Pirate minion type, as originally intended.
  • Spin ‘em Up and Small Repairs will no longer have their mana cost displayed in red when generated from Keeper Stalladris.

Please keep us updated if you encounter any new issues! Much love friendos <3

Cheers,
Chris_Attalus
