[2022] 22.4 Known Issues

Follow this post for information about known issues in Patch 22.4.

Patch 22.4 is launching with a few known issues:

• If you buy the Golden Mini-Set, you will receive the pop-up notification that looks the same as the regular Mini-Set purchase. Don’t worry, this is visual only! You’ll still receive those sweet, sweet Golden cards in your collection.

• There is a Mysterious new achievement in the Gameplay > Alterac Valley section! However, it is not achievable yet. Stay tuned for updates on when this achievement is ready to be investigated.

• We received your bug reports about Tamsin’s Phylactery not working with Rustwix Envoy. The fix for that bug was not done in time to make it into this patch, but we expect it to come in the next major update.

Post-launch known issues:

• [Resolved 2/15] The team is looking into reports that Kazakusan is not working as intended. Early reports seem to show that the card is working as intended in Standard, but is having issues in Duels (and maybe in Arena). There appear to have been two related issues with Kazakusan in Duels. We are in the process of deploying a hotfix that should resolve both those issues.
• [Resolved 2/15] The team is aware that Rogue and Demon Hunter Mini-Set achievements are not showing with Patch 22.4. The issue has been identified and the achievements are expected to be added into the game in the next major patch (Patch 22.6).
• [Resolved 2/17] The team is investigating reports that the Nozdormu Day quest stopped properly tracking last night.
• [Resolved 2/17] The team is investigating reports that the Honor Track stopped properly tracking last night.
• [Resolved 2/17] The team is investigating reports that other quests, aside from Nozdormu Day and the Honor Track, have also stopped properly tracking.
• [Added 2/28] The team is aware of a bug causing “phantom notifications” in the achievement menu. The fix for this bug is expected in the next major patch (Patch 22.6).
• [Added 2/28] The team is aware of a bug in Chi-Ji event Tasks that require you to have at least a certain number of Mercs of a certain type in your party (such as Tasks 5 and 6). The bug is that the number is checked at the start of the boss encounter for that Bounty, instead of the start of the Bounty. To avoid this bug, keep your mercs healthy enough to make sure you have the required amount of that type of Merc when that last fight begins.

2/17 Update: Last night, we implemented a temporary fix to the issue of various Quests not tracking as intended. Last night’s temporary fix appears to have worked without further issues, so we are incorporating a permanent solution. We are currently in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix that addresses the following issues:

• Fixes bug causing Quests and Honor Track to not progress.
• Fixes a bug that allowed players to “Golden” their hero in Battlegrounds, resulting in a doubling of their Health.
• Mitigates miscellaneous crashes.

~~

2/18 Update: We are in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix with the following Battlegrounds changes:

• Establishes a rule that Tickatus can only get one Ice Block per game, like Akazamzarak. Correction: Tickatus can now no longer get multiple copies of Ice Block from additional “Big Winner!” cards. He can still get up to one Ice Block from his normal Prize turns and up to one Ice Block from “Big Winner!”, for a total of up to two Ice Blocks per game.

• Makes it so that Ticket Collector (Tickatus’s Buddy) can no longer Discover the “Raise the Stakes” Prize (which was being used to return the Ticket Collector to your hand in order to get more Prizes, especially with Brann).

• Fixes a bug where Golden Eclipsion Illidari (Illidan’s Buddy) did not give “Immune while Attacking” to your second minion to attack.

~~

2/24 Update: We are in the process of rolling out a server-side hotfix with the following changes:

• Fixes a bug with two of the special Chi-Ji Event Tasks (Tasks 4 and 8) that caused them to not count when completed if the player selected certain non-fight nodes during the Bounty.

• Fixes a bug where Pearl of Yu’lon wouldn’t affect friendly dragons that had less Health than the bonus Health they’d gained during the fight.

• Fixes a bug causing Saidan the Scarlet to not gain double-buffs in hand until a buff was played on him while on the board.

We will continue to use this post to track Patch 22.4 and update this post when we have new information to share.

The mobile patch is expected at around 1pm Pacific, like is usually the case. So just a little while longer now!

Hi there, this isn’t a bug. As noted in the Patch Notes, that Bounty does not unlock until after the upcoming Chi-Ji event.

Immune minions can’t be targeted by spells.

Hi there, as noted in the Patch Notes, that product is not available for purchase until February 22. If you’re seeing other people with it, a few streamers were given a preview to show how it looks so that people get a better idea of what they are purchasing.

What device and region are you playing on? I can see the chalkboard in-game right now on my device and I have seen others posting the chalkboards in their game, too.

Hey there, this doesn’t sound like you’re describing a bug. The Balinda Mega Bundle does not include any alt Portraits (just the base one), and, as the product description says, if you buy it when you already have the base Portrait, then you get Balinda Coins instead, not an alt Portrait.

This bug is scheduled to be fixed in the next major patch, Patch 22.6.

Have you tried again since Patch 22.4? The issue players was facing was resolved in this patch, so if you’re still stuck now it is a different issue.

There’s no bonus winstreak stars from Diamond 5 to Legend, is that where you’re playing?

No problem. Congrats on getting that far and good luck on the final push!

Yes, this was raised in a prior Known Issues post and is scheduled to be fixed in the next major patch (22.6).

This is not a bug. Those two cards are interacting as intended, based on how their texts read and how effect timings generally work in the game. When you play Barov, the base stats are set to 1 (like it normally is when just played from hand) and then Clockwork Assistant’s continuous effect applies, which results in it staying at the same stats.

Hotfixes usually take a few hours to roll out. So that fix was completed about a week ago.

Bigger hotfixes sometimes get patch notes posts (like 22.4.3 just did). Usually, we do that for bigger planned patches and/or if there are card changes that we feel need to be shown in patch notes format. Smaller hotfixes tend to get their information shared in these known issues posts, in the “[DATE] Update:” portions under the bugs list.
