Hearthstone 29.2.3 Patch Notes

Blizzard just posted patch notes for a small-ish hotfix patch rolling out right now. The patch is server-side so you don’t need to download anything, but you might not get it immediately because it’s getting rolled out in waves.

The patch mainly focuses on Battlegrounds. We have some small Duos updates (longer turns, Armor differences), Mechs getting reactivated, as well as a bunch of bug fixes for the mode.

In Constructed, the bugged interaction between Alexstrasza‘s Battlecry and health-adjusting effects (such as The Azerite Snake (Legendary Excavate Treasure)) has been fixed.

Check out the full patch notes below:

Patch 29.2.3 is a server-side patch, rolling out now with the following updates:

Battlegrounds Updates

• Heroes now have a Duos Armor level, distinct from their Solo Battlegrounds Armor levels. For most Heroes, their Duos Armor level is 2-3 Armor lower than their (higher ranks) Solo Battlegrounds Armor level.
• Duos turns from turn 7 onwards are now slightly longer than before.
• Mechs will be reactivated in Battlegrounds after this patch has rolled out.

Bug Fixes

• [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Alexstrasza’s Battlecry effect didn’t work properly with life-total adjusting effects (like Azerite Snake and Vampiric Blood).
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Golden Scrap Scraper didn’t function properly.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Utility Drone didn’t function properly.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Persistent Poet didn’t function with Blood Gems.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Persistent Poet didn’t function on dual-type Dragon minions.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug with Orc-estra Conductor and Rylak Metalhead working wrong for your teammate in Duos games.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where using Jandice Barov’s hero power on a minion affected by Suspicious Stimulant made that minion then unable to be bought from the Tavern.
• [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug causing game crashes.
• [Collection] Fixed a bug where Diamond cards weren’t offering re-rolls since Patch 29.2.
