Hearthstone Patch 8.0.0 for Journey to Un’Goro & Year of the Mammoth is Live – Patch Notes

The patch going live doesn’t mean these things are launching, but this is the preparation for the expansion launch. You can however check out the new cards in your collection area, and read all the new Flavor text on the cards!

I hope you were able to grab at least one wing in Blackrock Mountain and League of Explorers because you can on longer purchase them! You can also no longer purchase packs from The Grand Tournament.

I’ll be posting all the information for the patch below, including the notes when they are added.

Patch Notes

Hearthstone Update – April 4 

This Hearthstone update puts the final touches in place for the Year of the Mammoth and the launch of Hearthstone’s latest expansion, Journey to Un’Goro! We’re also adding a new Rogue Hero, paving the way for Fireside Gathering improvements, and fixing a few bugs.

  • This update completes preparations for the Year of the Mammoth. The new Hearthstone year begins once Journey to Un’Goro goes live!
  • Maiev Shadowsong, a new Rogue Hero, has emerged from the shadows! Win 10 Standard Ranked or Casual mode games after Journey to Un’Goro launches to add her to your collection.
  • This update adds functionality to support the upcoming Fireside Gatherings Tavern closed beta test.
    • Participation in the closed beta test will be limited to select Fireside Gatherings initially, but we’ll be expanding Taverns to everyone once this phase of testing is complete!
    • Taverns UI elements may be present, but non-functional, for some players while this test is under way.
  • A new tooltip displays the number of cards in your hand.
  • Improved consistency of some card text.

    • Jade Spirit will now correctly appear in searches using the term “Jade Golem”.
    • When Herald Volazj copies a silenced minion, the copies it creates will now correctly also be silenced.
    • Resolved an issue that would make it impossible to cast a spell that costs Health to kill your Hero, even while immune.
    • Resolved an issue that would cause casting a 0 mana cost Jade Blossom to still sometimes consume mana.
    • Nozdormu’s sandstorm visual will no longer persist if he is returned to a player’s hand.
    • Resolved several minor UI and graphics issue

Maiev Shadowsong Rogue Skin

She’s been added to the game, but you’ll have to wait until after the launch of Un’Goro to get her!

    This might sound lazy, but I’m glad that I can hover over my deck to see the number of cards in my hand. Maybe it’s because I play on a tablet. Yeah, let’s go with that.

      I think it’s a nice change, there’s no real reason not to have the hand size.

    Wow still no update. This is getting annoying how google and Apple can’t update in sync with blizzard. How depressing.

    I just checked on my tablet, and TGT, LOE and BRM are still showing up in the shop. On my laptop they’re not. So it looks like the patch hasn’t been updated across all versions yet. If you’ve got the tablet/mobile version it looks like you can still get those packs/adventures if you want (for now).

    Damn, the card backs look lit. If only it was possible for casual players to acquire the second one too.
