Hearthstone Battlegrounds in patch 24.4

Battlegrounds got its big updates less than a month ago with Quests entering the scene. Battlegrounds players praise this new mechanic, ranking it as more fun than Darkmoon Prizes and Battlegrounds Buddies.

Despite the 24.4 Hearthstone patch being all about the miniset, when it goes live, it will bring an old new Hero. Following the miniset flavor, Sylvanas Windrunner will return to Hearthstone Battlegrounds in the 24.4 patch.

Sylvanas will be available in all lobbies for two weeks after the patch launch. Moreover, the Another Hidden Body quest reward will make a comeback. This time with faster animations and harder requirements.

On a final note on Hearthstone Battlegrounds, the 24.4 patch also brings a new cosmetic: Legendary Boards. This new kind of cosmetic is a dynamic experience since it alters between six different visuals depending on your Health, position, win streak and other variables.

The first of these Legendary Battlegrounds Boards will not go live with the 24.4 Hearthstone patch but on October 11th. This will be days before the next Lobby Legends event if you know what that means.

Arena rotates with Hearthstone miniset launch

The 24.4 patch will also affect Arena, Hearthstone's oldest game mode. When the Maw and Disorder Hearthstone Miniset goes live, the Arena will see its seasonal rotation. The sets that will be part of Arena will be:

  • Core
  • Blackrock Mountain
  • Kobolds & Catacombs
  • Ashes of Outland
  • Journey to Un'goro
  • Rise of Shadows
  • Murder at Castle Nathria (including Maw and Disorder Mini-Set)

When the 24.4 patch goes live, every Hearthstone Arena runs will be retired. Blizzard will give players a free Arena ticket as compensation, but, on top of that, players will also earn the rewards corresponding to the wins they had before retiring.

If you want some free goodies, start an arena run, get some wins, and leave it when you get the second loss. Zero risk investment.

Bots coming to Hearthstone with patch 24.4?

The Miniset patch notes revealed that Hearthstone will launch bots in Apprentices and low-ranks standard ladder. This feature is designed for players to face shorter queue times and to have a more fun experience while learning the game. This will not affect experienced players.

Moreover, some players will see "Milestone Shop Offers" upon reaching Bronze ranks. Those players will be offered a Battle-Ready Deck for the class they played the most. There is a second milestone for players reaching Platinum. At that point, they will be offered another Battle-Ready deck for their second most played class.
