28.2 Patch Notes

28.2 Patch Notes

Patch 28.2, launching tomorrow, brings Battlegrounds Season 6, the Spellslinger’s Saloon, updates to the shop and new player progression, and more!

Saddle Up for Battlegrounds Season 6!

Belly up to the saloon in Battlegrounds Season 6, the Spellslinger’s Saloon. This here saloon’s serving up all new spells, purchased directly from the Tavern. Sit down with over 40 new Tavern spells, over 30 new minions, an update to the Undead minion type, and more!

On December 5, Battlegrounds Season 5 will end and Season 6 will begin. That means rankings will be reset, Anomalies will be removed, and the Battlegrounds Track will switch over. All rewards that were earned from the Season 5 Track, but not yet claimed, will be automatically claimed.

New Mechanic—Tavern Spells

Battlegrounds Season 6 introduces a new Battlegrounds play experience: buying spells directly from the Tavern! Tavern spells have Tavern Tiers like minions, but, unlike minions, they have variable costs—and a new frame that shows off both their Tavern Tier and their cost at the same time.

There are 42 new Tavern spells in Patch 28.2, across all six Tavern Tiers.* Each time you Refresh the Tavern, you'll be offered a Tavern spell of your Tier or lower in addition to the number of minions you get offered for that Tavern Tier.** When you buy a Tavern spell, it’s added to your hand, for you to use whenever you want.

* There are 5 copies of each Tier 1 Tavern spell, 7 copies of each Tier 2, 9 copies of each Tier 3, 11 copies of Tier 4, 7 copies of Tier 5, and 5 copies of Tier 6. Tavern spells are returned to the pool immediately when you get them (not when you play them). Like existing Battlegrounds spells (for example, Blood Gems or Coins), you can’t triple Tavern spells and they are spent once they are used.

** If you freeze a Tavern spell, it will stay in the Tavern for the next turn and you won’t get an additional one added to the Tavern next turn. Think of it like one additional dedicated Tavern spell space being added to the board (but the max board slots is still 7—if you would have more than a full board, your Tavern spell slot will replace one of the minion slots).

New Battlegrounds Track

The Season 6 Battlegrounds Track, with the Season Pass, features 40 levels of rewards, including 4 Legendary Hero Skins, 9 Epic Hero Skins, 6 Rare Hero Skins, 8 Epic Emotes, 6 Rare Emotes, an Epic Bartender, and a Legendary Strike! 

For more details about the Season 6 Battlegrounds Track, and the new Battlegrounds Season Pass, see the Season 6 Announcement Blog.

General Battlegrounds Updates

  • Turn timers have been temporarily extended by 5 seconds each turn while players get used to this new frontier.
  • Bots have been added to the Battlegrounds ladder. One or more bots will be added to certain games to provide newer and lower-MMR players with a smoother experience.
  • NEW: The cost to upgrade from Tavern Tier 4 to Tavern Tier 5 has been reduced from 11 to 10 Gold.

New: Hearthstone Updates

We missed these updates when we first put together these patch notes—these are also going live with Patch 28.2. These are not the balance adjustments being made in anticipation of the World Championships on the 16th-17th. More info on those changes is expected later this week.

Anomaly Updates

  • Driven to Greed, Army of the Corrupted, Spread of Corruption, and Twist Reality have been returned to the Anomaly Pool. Unimaginable Horrors is still removed from the Anomaly Pool.
  • Twist Reality has been updated. Now, only the first time a player plays a card on their turns is a copy of it shuffled into their deck.
  • Opportunity Knocks will now check and respect the current top card of your deck if you could already afford to play it, instead of always just offering a random card you could afford to play.
  • Cho’Gall, Twilight Chieftain’s effect has been upped to a 50% chance of an Anomaly in your game. (There is still a 100% chance of an Anomaly in any game where both players have Cho’Gall in their decks.)

Card Updates

Dev Comment: The following cards are being adjusted not because of their power levels, but because they disproportionately cause bugs and other gameplay issues, which can be disruptive for players and time consuming to correct. These changes mitigate those problems and help future-proof these cards for updates going forward. These changes are going live with Patch 28.2, but they won’t be eligible for full dust refunds until our upcoming hotfix Patch 28.2.1.

Fate Splitter

  • Old: Deathrattle: Get a copy of the card that killed this.
  • New: Deathrattle: Get a copy of the last card your opponent played.

Monstrous Parrot

  • Old: Battlecry: Repeat the last friendly Deathrattle that triggered.
  • New: Battlecry: Get a copy of the last friendly Deathrattle minion that died.

Counterfeit Blade

  • Old: Battlecry: Gain a random friendly Deathrattle that triggered this game.
  • New: Battlecry: Get a copy of a random friendly Deathrattle minion that died this game.

Dwarven Archaeologist

  • Old: [2 Mana] 2/3. After you Discover a card, reduce its Cost by (1).
  • New: [3 Mana] 3/3. Battlecry: Discover a card. Reduce its Cost by (1).

Madam Goya

  • Old: Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Swap it with a minion in your deck.
  • New: Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Summon any copies of it in your deck.

In-Game Event: Winter Veil

Greatfather Winter is here for the season, bringing toys to everyone in the tavern. Ring in the new year with cheer! From December 12 to January 2, complete event quests to earn Event XP on the special event rewards track. Complete the rewards track to earn 1 Showdown in the Badlands Pack, 2 Standard Packs, 2 Ravenous Kraken Signature Common cards, 2 Angry Helhound Signature Rare cards, and Greathfather Thorim Battlegrounds Hero Skin!

Then, keep the Winter Veil festivities rolling with Winter Veil themed Tavern Brawls starting on December 13, and Winter Veil themed shop offerings starting December 19!

Heroic Tavern Brawl Returns

Kick off the new year with a bang! Heroic Tavern Brawl (Standard format) returns on January 3, for more fierce competition against top players. Pay the entry fee and play until you either get 3 losses or 12 wins. Those who can go all the way are greatly rewarded!

Major Shop Rework

We’ve overhauled the in-game shop to improve performance and make it easier for all players to see the types of products that interest them most! Now, shop categories are broken down into tabs and sub-tabs to reduce scrolling. There are main tabs on the left side for Featured items (like current best-value bundles), Hearthstone items, Battlegrounds items, Modes items (like Tavern Tickets), and Runestones. Some of these main tabs also have sub-tabs across the top to make further navigation easier!

You can also now zoom in on specific items in a bundle, to get a better look at them. Just select the bundled product and click or tap on the part of the product image you want to zoom in on! We’ve also improved the item preview for animated Skins to better show off their art. Finally, if a Skin or Bartender has special voicelines, there is now a speech bubble button for you to preview them.

New Player Progression Update

After finishing the tutorial, new players will now get access to the new Apprentice Track—an experience replacing the current Apprentice Ranks and intended to simplify and guide new player development and progression. Modes and classes (including Death Knight) are now earned as rewards on the Apprentice Track, instead of their previous unlock requirements. We’re also introducing the Tavern Guide, a series of quests designed to teach players about Hearthstone’s core systems and strategies. The new Apprentice Track and Tavern Guide are expected to take less time to complete than the current Apprentice ranks. Rewards for completing the new track include Gold, Catch-Up Packs, starter decks, and more!  

Returning players who are still in Apprentice ranks will be placed on the Apprentice Track, with their current Modes and all classes unlocked. Experienced players or players who just want to play Battlegrounds will be able to skip the track and guide to immediately unlock all classes, modes, and Loaner Decks, but will miss out on the other rewards along the Track.

Bugs and Game Improvements

  • [General] In our continued efforts to streamline the mobile client, the base download for new installs will now no longer automatically include Mercenaries or Solo Content. Players who want to play those modes can still access them in-client, with an additional download after the initial install. We plan to continue to build on this modular download experience in coming updates.
  • [Hearthstone] Odyn, Prime Designate’s Battlecry effect can no longer be stacked if played multiple times.
  • [Hearthstone] Asvedon, the Grandshield will no longer spoil secrets.
  • [Hearthstone] “Partner” cards will now check cost only when you play them, so playing them can’t negate their own effect due to cards that change cost based on cards in your hand or minions in play.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Magister Dawngrasp’s Hero Power and Artificer Xy’mox caused disconnects. Magister Dawngrasp is no longer banned.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Forging or Trading a Miraged minion would get you an extra Mirage in hand.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Tony, King of Piracy’s Finale effect triggered before his Battlecry effect.

  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where The Primus didn’t have animations or sounds when it used its Abilities.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Symphony of Sins was missing its music effect when played—what’s a Symphony with no sound?
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Excavating Epic and Legendary Treasures resulted in a small spike of lag.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where gaining control of an enemy Titan, but clicking on the Titan before the “mind control” animation completed, could cause a client soft-lock.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Confessor Paletress could summon Colossal minions with her effect.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Chittering Tunneler’s Battlecry didn’t deal damage.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Felsteel Executioner did not retain hand buffs for its Health.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where cards transformed by Shenanigans would retain their Deathrattles, allowing you to... *sigh* destroy the enemy hero with a banana that had Mecha’thun’s Deathrattle. Talk about Shenanigans.
  • [Hearthstone] Fixed visual bugs with various minions’ come into play effects.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Lord Barov’s Hero Power caused crashes. He’s been returned to the Hero Pool.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Upbeat Duo couldn’t copy Golden Monkey.
  • [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Piloted Whirl-O-Tron didn’t copy Recurring Nightmare’s Deathrattle.
  • [Solo Content] Fixed a bug where the “Warlock’s Apprentice” Solo Adventure puzzle was made impossible to clear by recent card adjustments.
  • [Progression] Fixed a bug where claiming Thunderbringer prior to expansion launch meant it was not counted properly for Collection Achievements.
  • [Progression] Fixed a bug where the Refreshing Vendor achievement didn’t progress properly.
  • [Features] Fixed a bug where, when using spacebar to Mass Pack Opening, the game would select a stack to open randomly (now it will always open the top eligible stack).
  • [Cosmetics] Fixed a bug where Elise, the Leader did not have her special hero power animation.
  • [Cosmetics] Fixed a bug where Pit Boss Reska did not have their special hero power animation.
  • [Cosmetics] Correct issues with various hero skin voicelines.
  • Misc. other bug fixes and game improvements.
