Hearthstone devs responded to a number of questions...

I'm simply copy-pasting here since I did not collect them.

Some of the responds on reddit, twitter, personal pages and official sites have been collected together in this article; Anyone who couldn't get these news can read them in this thread.

Sorry for the link but its for only proof purposes that these informations are real.

Also There is some news for Mobile Hotfix.

Hearthstone devs responded to a number of questions...

  1. Q: How will Electra Stormsurge work with the Hero Power from completing the Corrupt the Waters quest?

    A: The reward works the same way as Brann Bronzebeard or Murmuring Elemental, so there is no change to the mechanic. Battlecries will still only happen twice.

  2. Q: Can we have 2 active Quests at the same time?

    A:
    No, only one Quest can be active at any time. The second one cannot be played until you finish the first one.

  3. Q: Will both Quests appear in the mulligan?

    A: Yes.

  4. Q: Does Questing Explorer work with the original Un'goro Quests as well?

    A: Yes.

  5. Q: Do Reborn cards count twice, when it comes to resurrection mechanics, etc? Once for the original card (with Reborn keyword still active) and once for the reborned card (with 1 health remaining)?

    A: Yes. Deathrattles would trigger twice as there are two copies in the pool of dead minions. Note that if resurrected, the 1-Health version will come back with full life and Reborn keyword - the two copies are functionally identical. Works basically like the paladin secret (Redemption).

  6. Q: Does Reborn set the minion’s life to 1 Health or deal damage until it has 1 Health remaining?
    Q: How does it track if Reborn has triggered?
    Q: If I copy a Reborned minion, do I get a Reborn keyword back on the copied minion?
    Q: What happens if I Silence a Reborn minion with 1 Health?

    A: The minion returns with 1 Health remaining, but it can still be healed to its normal maximum Health.
    A: You can tell that Reborn has been triggered via the visual effect on it (similar to how you can tell that a minion's Divine Shield has been used up).
    A: If a minion started with Divine Shield, then that Divine Shield got used up, copying it wouldn't give the Divine Shield back. Same with Reborn.
    A: Silence does remove the Reborn state (again, same as Divine Shield).

  7. Q: Sir Finley Mrrgglton is shown riding his loyal steed. What is the name of this magnificent beetle?

    A: Jeweled Scarab is the type of mount he´s riding, what do you think he should name this one?

  8. Q: Ossirian Tear's text states: “Your Choose One effects have both effects combined.” But how does that effect Wardruid Loti?

    A:
     We often go with text that is easy to process on your first read and this is a good example of that. We talked about writing "all effects combined" to make it more clear in the case of one legendary at the cost of being less clear in every other case and decided not to do that. (Editor - by that answer we can deduce that all 5 (editor's editor note (me) - There are 4 effects aside Wardruid Loti without a form) effects will be combined at the same time.)

  9. Q: Sir Finley Mrrgglton is a Mage?

    A: Reno's class is based around what amazing loot he has most recently found. That means for this expansion he is a mage because of his gun of magic wands. Sir Finley Mrrgglton is a paladin btw.

  10. Q: Will the Saviors of Uldum characters have the same stats as they did in League of Explorers?

    A: Matching stats like that is a nice to have so that people see the link. It is one of those design things that feels good. However those numbers are really good for balancing cards and determining what else you can combo them with. There are a ton of factors that go into deciding the numbers on a card. The aesthetic of matching numbers vs balance vs tempo vs combo potential.

Blizzard responds and issues hot fix for Patch 14.6 issues on mobile devices...

Quote from Chris Sierra

 

Well Met Friends,

With the recent 14.6 update, we identified some pesky bugs that needed squashing. We are currently rolling out a fix that will resolve the following issues:

  • Fixed an issue where hitting the home button while in a match on a mobile device would not bring you back to your match.
  • Fixed the “Global Asset Cellular Download” pop-up from showing.

As for the login issues on Mobile, we are still investigating this. There is a workaround that should work for you in the meantime: uninstall and re-install the app. This should let you patch up properly and not get stuck at the Tavern doors. Sincere apologies for the miscommunication on my previous post!

It’s now live on Google Play and should be rolling out on iOS soon.

Please let us know how the experience is on this new patch! We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any other issues that could crop up.

Have a great week!

Cheers,
Chris_Attalus



Edit: I have edit the text for addressing cards for outof.cards database also want to make some sharing with my own thoughts about something that I learned recently from this article.

  • I would guess 2 quests at the same time would be impossible for Hearthstone's mechanics but I have doubts in my mind. Honestly, This quest news has relieved me.
    Also I would guess Questing Explorer will work both expansions' quests and that also made me happy to hear.

  • If the Wardruid Loti situation true, It will be great to have her since combined Loti will be good in paper. If you planned to disenchant her, wait until Uldum release. It will be cool to see her combined form in standard.
    Btw with Ossirian Tear what Wardruid Loti shapes into;
    Wardruid Loti(90224).png

  • There is one more question at 6th section about Reborn keyword as " What about bouncing?" but it seems Celestalon forgot to answer that.
    We can learn the answer from 5th question's answer. it says if the Reborn minion which loses its reborn is resurrected, it has also reborn and other texts. So if we put a reborn minion which dies and summons the minion with 1 health to our hand, it will have reborn too. At least that's what I understood from that answer. If I'm mistaken please let me know.

    Lots of concern about Wardruid Loti in this Q&A. I guess people are afraid of a crappy legendary becoming something more with a combo. Also, can't wait to use this combo. Just to use it. Poisonous, taunt, bla bla bla.

    I saw lots of concern about Reborn, not Loti tbh.

    Hm, so Reborn will most likely have a "bubble" or some kind of visual effect like divine shield minions? That is good! I was affraid how would we tell, if Reborn triggered or not and if they made tokens of the cards without it for example. Seems like they did think it through for once :)

    You can see it in the reveal video or on the Hearthstone page for the expansion - it looks almost like a cracked Immune effect? Pretty cool visual

    It gets its own bullet point in your post.

    Do we get 'Reborn' and 'Plague' card for every class or only the hero/evil class?

    Reborn most likely for everyone, Plague cards only for EVIL classes, similar to Schemes in RoS.

    Really surprised Reno isn't a Paladin based on the whole heal mechanic he is known for. Mage works though for a treasure hunter due to all the discover and random cards they end of generating. Looking forward to Murloc Paladin again!

    I think I played Loti only once, but maybe...

    The pleasure is mine.

    My last standard decks: nothing special right now.

    Looks like she's about to get her time in the sun. I opened her as well, but she's just been hanging with all my other misfit cards.

    Very nice and informative Q&A - and also i too think next expansion will show us the Power of Loti :)
