[2023] 25.2 Known Issues

Patch 25.2 is now available, bringing with it the new Battlegrounds Season 3! We’ll be using this post to track issues that pop up during the 25.2 patch period.

The issues we’re tracking this patch include:

• [Resolved 1/26] Hearthstone: Magister’s Apprentice had its stats unintentionally swapped. The team is tracking reports of other cards having unintended adjustments as well.
• [Resolved 1/19] Hearthstone: The new Omen Demon Hunter hero skin unintentionally blocks getting an upgraded Hero Power.
• [Added 2/2] Hearthstone: The new Ghoul Queen Scarlet Death Knight hero skin unintentionally blocks getting an upgraded Hero Power.
• [Resolved 1/19] Battlegrounds: Minions that Baltharak (one of the Mecha-Demons generated by Mecha-Jaraxxus) Magnetizes to lose Reborn when the minion gets tripled.
• [Resolved 1/17] Battlegrounds: The team is tracking a bug causing server de-syncs (resulting in players seeing different life totals and results from combat).
• [Resolved 1/17] Battlegrounds: Sin’dorei Straight Shot’s effect is not removing Taunt like it should, only Reborn.
• [Resolved 1/31] Modes: The effect of Souleater’s Scythe does not work properly if you have multiple copies of it in your deck at the start of the game.
• [Resolved 2/6] Modes: The team is investigating a small number of players who did not get progress on the Legendary Quest related to the Heroic Tavern Brawl this week. Any players who completed the Quest but did not get the reward for it will get the reward upon login.
• Mercenaries/Achievements: There is a Mercenaries achievement for Arfus, but Arfus will not be added to the game until a future patch.

• [Resolved 1/19] Battlegrounds: We have temporarily removed the following Heroes from the Hero Pool while we address a couple unintended interactions: Scabbs Cutterbutter, Tess Greymane, Tamsin Roame, and Illidan Stormrage. We have also temporarily removed Murozond from the Minion Pool at this time. Update: the removed heroes and minion have been returned to their respective pools.

• 1/19 Update: we published a separate 25.2.1 Patch Notes post with information about the hotfix patch that resolved many of the above issues.

We will update this post as we get more information to share.

Very weird. I’ll pass this along, thanks.
