Hearthstone: Patch 7.1.0 wurde veröffentlicht
Im Verlauf des heutigen Abends haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment den neuen Patch 7.1.0 auf die Liveserver von Hearthstone aufgespielt, der kurz nach seinem Erscheinen in der amerikanischen Spielregion praktischerweise ebenfalls wieder von offiziellen englischen Patchnotes auf der Communityseite dieses Kartenspiels begleitet wurde. Dabei beinhaltete dieses als Vorbereitung auf das bereits im März beginnende Jahr des Mammuts fungierende neue Update neben den üblichen Fehlerbehebungen dann auch noch die bereits vor einigen Wochen angekündigten Anpassungen an der Arena, einige Verbesserungen an der Rangliste, die im Vorfeld angekündigten Nerfs einiger Karten und mehrere andere Kleinigkeiten. Zusätzlich dazu hat Patch 7.1.0 den Vorverkauf der im April erscheinenden Erweiterung „Reise nach Un’Goro“ gestartet, weshalb daran interessierte Personen jetzt jetzt insgesamt 50 Kartenpackungen dieses Addons für den Preis 44,99 € (49,99 € für iOS) im Ingame Shop von Hearthstone vorbestellen können.
Alle weiteren Informationen zu den Inhalten dieses neuen Updates für Blizzards Kartenspiel findet ihr in folgenden bisher leider nur auf Englisch vorhandenen Patchnotes.
Hearthstone Update – February 28
The expedition begins soon! This latest update blazes a trail for the Journey to Un’Goro, Hearthstone’s latest Expansion as well as the arrival of the Year of the Mammoth and a new Standard format. This update also includes adjustments to Ranked play, Arena updates, balance changes to Small Time Buccaneer and Spirit Claws, some visual improvements and optimizations, and several bug fixes.
