[2022] 23.0 Known Issues

Hey all,

Patch 23.0 is a big one, bringing with it the new Voyage to the Sunken City expansion, the Core Set update, and the next Hearthstone Year! There’s a lot going on, so follow this post for information about known issues in Patch 23.0.

~~

Patch 23.0 will be shipping with a few known issues:

• [Resolved 4/6]: The Sunken City Warlock collection achievement will be based off the wrong set’s cards at launch, so it might show progression (or even completion) before the expansion even launches. This will not impact the collection achievements that give diamond/coin rewards, as those are tracked in a different way. This will be resolved via hotfix shortly after the patch goes live.

• Three cards being added to the Core set in this year’s update (Bronze Explorer, Darius Crowley, and Wrathscale Naga) will show in your collection at the when Patch 23.0 goes live (April 5), instead of at the Core Set update (April 12). This is a visual-only bug. Those cards will not be playable as part of the Core until all the Core updates are live.

• The graphic on the Mercenaries daily Fighting Pit rewards chest will be a bit more colorful than intended. This will be corrected in a future update.

• [Added 4/7]: Players affected by the blank celebration image after completing all Book of Mercenaries content (a bug in Patch 22.6) have now been awarded the intended Golden Standard Pack. The underlying issue was resolved in Patch 23.0, so going forward players will be awarded the Pack upon completing all the content.

~~

Post-launch issues:

• [Resolved 4/5]: The team is aware that completing the Mi’da Bounty in Patch 23.0 caused a crash that locked players out of the Mercenaries Game Mode. The team temporarily disabled the Bounty while that issue was resolved. The team is in the process of rolling out an emergency hotfix that will fix the issue and turn the Mi’da Bounty back on.
• [Resolved 4/8]: The team is aware that the Diamond Loatheb card—a reward for owning a complete Curse of Naxxramas collection—is not claimable by players who already owned the entire Curse of Naxxramas set prior to this patch going live. The team is working on resolving this issue.
• [Added 4/5]: The team is aware that the conversion from the Honor Track to an Achievement gave players a celebration for each phase of the Honor Track they had already completed during the battle for Alterac Valley. This is a visual-only bug.
• [Resolved 4/8]: The team is aware that Kurtrus, Demon-Render (the hero card) is scaling the summoned demons incorrectly. A fix to this bug is expected in a hotfix planned for later this week.
• [Resolved 4/12]: Some players reported getting stuck on the “expansion now live” pop-up. For players stuck in that screen, restarting the client (sometimes a few times) will get them un-stuck. The team has disabled the pop-up to avoid further issues.
• [Resolved 4/12]: Players in certain regions reported that their shops did not update with the new products (including, notably, the Voyage to the Sunken City packs). Those stores have since restarted and the products are now live for all regions.
• [Added 4/12]: The team is investigating reports of players getting stuck after purchasing the Tavern Pass.
• [Resolved 4/14]: The team is investigating reports that Classic decks were converted to Wild upon the Standard Wild rotation.
• [Resolved 4/14]: The team is aware that Murky’s Mercenaries Tasks are not following the new system of automatically rolling from one to the next. This should be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
• [Added 4/12]: The team is aware that the “are you sure” pop-up when disenchanting cards so that you have less than can be played in a deck is currently not functioning. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN DISENCHANTING YOUR CARDS TODAY. This issue will be resolved in a future patch.
• [Resolved 4/21]: The team is investigating reports that dual-class Duels decks created before Voyage to the Sunken City launched became invalidated after the launch.
• [Resolved 4/14]: The team is investigating reports of new Core cards missing from Duels and Arena.
• [Added 4/13]: The team is investigating reports of shop issues on Android devices.
• [Partially resolved 4/21]: The team is investigating reports that Lokholar is not being granted in the New and Returning Player Decks that include it (Paladin and Warlock).
• [Added 4/18]: The team is aware that Lady S’Theno is incorrectly counting Health + Armor when deciding which is the lowest Health enemy to attack.
• [Added 4/18]: The team is aware of certain cards causing disconnects. This issue will be resolved in an upcoming patch.
• [Added 4/18]: The team is aware that some players are seeing their Mercenaries’ Team Portraits appear to revert to the base Portraits outside of combat. This is a visual-only bug that will be resolved in a future patch. In the meantime, you can ignore that Portrait reversion and the Portraits will appear correctly in combat.
• [Added 4/27]: The team is aware that the Duels Treasure “Academic Research” has no effect after the most recent patch.
• [Added 4/27]: The team is aware that “Bazaar Bob” can appear during Duels runs. The team is investigating this bug.

4/8 Update:
Today we released a hotfix patch (Patch 23.0.1) with bug fixes and balance changes Standard, Battlegrounds, and Duels. You can find the details of that patch on its own dedicated post, here.

~~

4/14 Update:
Today we released a hotfix patch (Patch 23.0.2) to address some bugs after the launch of Voyage to the Sunken City. You can find the details of that patch on its own dedicated post, here.

~~

4/21 Update:
We’re currently in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix with the following updates:

• Fixes the bug that prevented Lokholar from being granted in new/returning player decks. Players who already claimed new/returning player decks that were supposed to include Lokholar, and have not already earned Lokholar, will have the card added to their collections in a future update.
• Fixes a bug that allowed Barbed Nets to trigger two ticks of the Hunter Questline under certain circumstances.
• Fixes a bug where Multi-Strike would prevent a player from attacking the enemy hero with Kurtrus, Demon-Render.
• Fixes a bug causing certain Duels players to get stuck when trying to enter the mode.
• Bans Golakka Glutton from Arena deckbuilding.

We will continue to track Patch 23.0 and update this post when we have new information to share.

After the patch, but no specific date planned. Should be soon, but you’ll understand that the devs are pretty busy today.

Edit: Just went live!

Thanks for your concern, but this is not a bug. Cards in the Legacy set are not in Wild packs. As pointed out, the cards are able to be crafted if you want to play with them in Wild.
