[2023] 27.0 Known Issues

Patch 27.0 is now live, and TITANS is launching on August 1! The following are some of the issues we’re tracking this patch:

• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Always a Bigger Jormungar is not working correctly with cleave effects like Hollow Hound’s. It is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Imprisoned Horror’s cost is being reduced by Blood Treant. Due to a recent rules change, paying Health is not intended to count as “damage.” This interaction is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Forest Seedlings and Frost Lotus Seedling will decrease their cost on turn 1 if kept in the mulligan. This is unintended and is expected to be updated in a patch prior to the launch of TITANS.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that cards that go into the secret zone (Secrets, Auras, Love Everlasting, etc.) cast by School Teacher’s Nagalings don’t work. This is expected to be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
• [Battlegrounds] The team is investigating reports that queueing for a private Battlegrounds lobby with fewer than 8 players will result in players being automatically added to the lobby. This is expected to be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
• [Cosmetics] The flavor text on the Sargeras cardback has been sent to the Twisting Nether. It is expected to be re-formed and summoned from the Twisting Nether in a future patch.
• [Added 7/31] [Cosmetics] Sargeras is causing more trouble: the team is aware that the Sargeras Hero Portrait is missing its Hero Tray. It is planned to be added in a future patch.
• [Resolved 7/26] [Shop] The team is investigating issues with “Sarge’s Deal” on EU accounts.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Hearthstone] Opponents are not supposed to see what Algalon, the Observer observes. The team is investigating the issue.
• [Added 7/26] [Battlegrounds] Lord Barov is still causing problems and has been re-removed from the Hero Pool.
• [Resolved 7/28] [Hearthstone] Fireside Gatherings weren’t allowing players to open their pre-purchase packs early like intended. This issue has now been resolved. If your Fireside Gathering period is still live, you should be able to just restart your client and jump right in. If not, you can make a new Fireside Gathering to open your pre-purchase packs.
• [Resolved 8/1] [Arena] The team is aware that some cards from TITANS are not currently in the Arena pool. This issue is expected to be resolved when the expansion unlocks on August 1.
• [Added 7/29] [Hearthstone] The team is aware that Fireside Brawls are not functioning at Pre-Release Weekend Fireside Gatherings. The team is also aware that players who enter a Fireside Gathering are then having issues joining games in any game mode until they restart their client.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Hearthstone] The team is aware that Aman’Thul is currently able to summon Colossal minions. This is a violation of the rules of Order and something that will be resolved in an upcoming patch.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Hearthstone] When you would overkill a hero with Always a Bigger Jormungar, it only deals the overkill damage, not the full damage. The team is investigating this issue to be resolved as soon as possible.
• [Added 8/2] [Hearthstone] Razorscale is not properly stopping cards from reducing their own Costs below 2. This is scheduled to be corrected in an upcoming major patch.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Hearthstone] The team is aware that Magatha has some weird interactions with Death Knight Plagues, and is looking into it.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Progression] The “Express Order Argunite” Achievement is not tracking as intended. The team is investigating the issue.
• [Added 8/2] [Collection] Sargeras’s machinations continue! The team is investigating reports that the Sargeras card back can’t be equipped once earned.
• [Added 8/2] [Hearthstone] The team has received reports that various cards in different languages have localization issues. These reports have been passed on and various cards will be getting localization updates in an upcoming patch.
• [Resolved 8/4] [Hearthstone] Mimiron’s Cloakfield has been malfunctioning when used on a minion that already has Stealth. It’s expected to get repaired in an upcoming hotfix.
• [Added 8/3] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that the Daily Event Quest requiring triggering Deathrattles only works for Deathrattle minions that you played, not ones that you summoned through other means.
• [Resolved 8/9] [Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that there were localization issues with the 27.0.3 Sparkbots update.
• [Added 8/8] [Battlegrounds] Sneed has been temporarily removed from the hero pool and Piloted Whirl-O-Tron has been removed from E.T.C.'s hero power pool due to a bug causing crashes.
