I got copies of cards I owned but have disenchanted, like Worgen Greaser, before getting cards I have never owned. Is this intended behavior with the duplicate protection? If it is I guess I'm just crafting the cards I want instead of bothering with packs.
Yes and no. Duplicate protection only knows about cards you disenchanted since duplicate protection was added in 2020. If you disenchanted it before 2020, there's no record that you ever had it, so you can get it again.
As far as I know right now:
- There are no issues with duplicate protection; it's safe to open packs. You're getting duplicates because you already have all of the cards of that rarity, as is expected.
- There is an issue where if you have 2 of an old card and 1 of the new card, the 1 doesn't show up in collection manager. We're working on this now.
(Upvotes appreciated so more people see this)
Yep, intended!

Best comment of the day.
Since March of the Lich King, we've been hard at work to revamp Signature cards based on YOUR feedback. This should be a huge leap forward, and there's still further polish coming later this year. What do you think?!
I've also seen a few requests to see what these look like on-board. Here's a screenshot:

Goal here was to still look distinct and "Signature", but much closer to the normal shape and thickness.

EDIT UPDATE: This should now be fixed.
A lot of incorrect assumptions going on in here. Some clarifications:
- The traditional tutorial being replayable is an intended new feature, as noted in the patch notes.
- It's unintended that it re-starts the new player quests for some users.
- It's also unintended that parts of these quests are broken (and even break other things) when you've already completed them.
We're working on getting these fixed ASAP. We have a possible fix that we're testing now and hope to roll out soon, that shouldn't require any new patch, if all goes well.

so you are saying its a coincidence that any time there is a bug that allows free stuff for players there seems to be an immediate response from Blizzard that coincidentally stops the free things? Sure, Jan.
I`d actually respect the devs more if they came out and said "we didn't intent for you to get this free stuff so we`ve stopped it" rather than blatantly lying every single time.
We didn't intend for you to get this free stuff, so we're stopping it. That should be pretty reasonable; we'd rather intentionally grant free things like through events and such, than accidentally through bugs. Obviously, the more egregious the error, the more we're going to prioritize fixing it.
But the compounding issue here that warrants a really high priority is because it's literally breaking player progress. That's a big deal.
We fix all kinds of bugs all the time. Some take a patch, some a hotfix, some all server side. It's understandable to notice the ones in your favor more.
Celestalon, the issue a lot of people are having is that Devs seem very quick to fix things if players are getting even a small something for free due to a bug, but not as quick other times.
That's just not true. We fix things as fast as we can, and the few extra packs here aren't the big problem. The big problem is that it's actually breaking a bunch of things when you're in these bugged states.
Are you going to allow players who got the questline to finish it? Or do you plan to simply remove it from any account who shouldn't have gotten it? I understand that the questline itself buggs other things also
Any packs you have gotten will not be removed. Fixing this will likely remove any broken parts from your log (because that's the way to fix it, the game doesn't support completing quest chains like this multiple times, and implementing that isn't even possible in this timeline).

They need to tell us what cards are imps. For example, Imprisoned Scrap Imp and Gormok the Impaler are not Imps, while Sunken Scavenger is one.
Search for "Imp" in the Collection Manager.
This is the new art for the Four Horsemen.
For Battlegrounds, we made living variants of Rivendare and Peggy.
We have, just only for cards that you don't have all the info for in the base card text (look at quests, for example). However, we're expanding that in a future patch to include most everything.
That might be a Dark Iron Dwarf.
Yep. Female Dark Iron Dwarf, as shown by the skin tone, eye color, and hair color+glow. :)
Could you DM me your battletag and region? Would love to investigate this.
It's just a display issue, you still get the proper amount of XP.
(We're still working on solving it asap though.)
Its a good jab from Tyler. People dont have to act like its a life or death issue.
BREAKING: Blizzard dev likes tweet containing a lighthearted jab from his friend! Story at 11.
We're looking into this. It's proven very difficult to reproduce internally, but we're working on it.
