28.4 Known Issues

Patch 28.4 is now live, bringing with it the Delve Into Deepholm Mini-Set, with new dual-class cards, more Excavate Treasures, old friends, and more!

Follow this post for more information about known issues that we’re tracking in this patch, including the following:

• [Resolved Jan 19 - Hearthstone] Velarok Windblade was unintentionally reverted to its prior transformation requirement (3 cards from another class).
• [Resolved Jan 19 - Hearthstone] We’ve temporarily banned Jotun the Eternal due to a bug with its effect. It will be unbanned once we’ve resolved the issue.
• [Resolved Jan 29 - Hearthstone] Lightshow was unintentionally changed.
• [Resolved Feb 1 - Hearthstone] Tickatus’s effect isn’t working as intended.
• [Hearthstone] Raid Boss Onyxia continues to deny that Starlight Whelp is a whelp.
• [Resolved Feb 2 - Duels] We’re temporarily turning off Heroic Duels due to players using unauthorized technology to exploit the mode. Heroic Duels is now back online, the cheating accounts have been banned, and affected players have been granted 10 Tavern Tickets (in two waves, since a few folks were missed the first time).
• [Resolved Jan 23 - Arena] Kazakusan is not used to Duels Treasures in Arena and currently does not generate treasures to fill your deck (he just deletes your deck and abandons you).
• [Resolved Jan 29 - Battlegrounds] Land Lubber is temporarily removed from Battlegrounds until the next scheduled balance window.
• [Resolved Jan 23 -General] We’re investigating issues with client performance on Android devices. An update is available on Android devices to resolve performance issues. This will require a client download from wherever you get your usual updates.
• [Added Jan 22 - Hearthstone] School Teacher’s Nagalings have no effect when they are taught Misfire or Heat Wave.
• [Resolved Jan 29 - Hearthstone] A bug was fixed to prevent Shadestone Skulker from causing infinite loops. Now, Shadestone Skulker will no longer have the weapon once it “gives it back” so the Deathrattle does nothing after the first activation. Note: Effects that double a Deathrattle (like Snowfall Graveyard) still make the first Deathrattle activation happen twice, but you can’t then activate the same Skulker’s Deathrattle again through another effect/death. One Deathrattle doubled isn’t the same as triggering a Deathrattle two different times.
• [Resolved Feb 8 - Hearthstone] The team is investigating reports that some players didn’t receive their monthly rewards. It appears this happened to players who had a higher carry-over rank in Twist while it was unavailable for the month than they achieved in Standard or Wild. The team has patched up the issue causing this error and affected players have now received their season rewards.

• [Added Feb 5 - Battlegrounds] Staff of Enrichment has been temporarily removed from the Tavern Spell pool while we investigate an issue causing desyncs.
