The team is looking into this situation for a small number of players, such as yourself, who were caught in-between fixes. They are working on a solution.

Bear Trap 2 normally summons a 7/10. Are you saying that you have the Hunting Shroud Equipment equipped and the Equipment has no effect?

The 21.4.4 patch, releasing later today, includes bug fixes, Battlegrounds updates, and miscellaneous non-player-facing backend updates.

Gather ‘round and listen in, it’s time for Tavern Talks, the series that highlights some of the amazing members of our fine tavern!

A: I have a chronic pain disability, which started in around 2009. In 2016, my pain levels flared up substantially. I started having trouble with the controls for other games, so my brother introduced me to Hear...

Hello all,

Last week’s patch introduced a bug that unintentionally caused people who played Battlegrounds immediately after the patch to have their rating reset. We quickly squashed that bug so that no more players would have their ratings reset in this way, and, at the same time reset the affected players’ rating to what it was just before 21.4.

Unfortunately, this introduced another bug that caused them to gain more rating than intended for each game following the initial fix.

Tomorrow, we will be implementing a fix that will stop players from gaining this unintended bonus rating. For the top 10% of players who benefitted from this bug, we will also be reducing their ratings to adjust for those unintended extra gains.

We will update this post once that change has gone live.

Update: This patch has now gone live in all regions.

Update 2: Since the patch went live, the team has been correcting a small number of additional player ...

Hey, I can’t speak to products we haven’t announced yet, but I can say that the team is aware that for some players the portraits are a priority and that the team has plans to make offerings that should appeal more to that type of player. If you hang tight for future updates on that front, you’ll have more options that, I think, should be better for what you specifically are looking for–or at least give you some alternative routes to consider.

Hey, that’s incredible! I’m sorry the experience wasn’t what you wanted, but what you’re describing doesn’t necessarily sound like a bug.

After some player feedback, we updated the pack disclosures site to try to be a bit clearer on how packs work. Basically, the system is not designed to go through the progression for all Portraits within a rarity before landing on Coins–when converting from a Mercenary Card, it picks a straight random mercenary and then checks if there are any available Portraits to offer for that particular mercenary.

Thanks for the report. I’ll pass these along to the team to be fixed in a future update.
