Yesterday I started an arena run to see the new mode. I played 2 games, won the first and lost the second. The game mode was taken offline during my second game resulting in me not able to draft new cards which, if I understand correctly, should have happend.
fast forward to today
I open HS once again and see the mode is back online. I still don’t get to draft additional cards. and on top of that they banned cards from the deck I drafted. I tried queuing the deck anyway but it gives a pop up; the selected deck is not valid for this game mode.
So now my only option is to retire the deck eventhough this is a payed game mode and I feel scammed.
How could blizzard have managed this:
- make sure the drafting was not skipped or picked up here
- make sure if your deck contains cards that are now banned you are able to redraft those picks, as they are unplayable now
- end all affected runs and compensate the players
- end all the runs and compensate the players
those al seem like very manageable options to me and especially, since they mentioned they would be able to make changes to the arena curated card pool much faster now, I would have thought blizzard to have thought about this and came up with a solution. however, what does blizzard do;
they pushback the release of underground arena a month, release a still sh*tty product with a terrible cardpool. its so bad it has to be taken down within 24 hours. Tweek a little in a way that leaves the mode unplayable for some and call it a day.
I think this is a disgrace. If I, and all other people affected by this, don’t get compensated for this I will quit this and all other blizzard games forever.
@blizzard I have screenshots if you are interested in this problem and would like to fix it
