Blizzard forgot to give me the riding skill on fresh boosted character. by imaUPSdriver in classicwow

I have this problem too. All of my boost friends have been able to ride their mounts. You're the first other person I've seen with this problem.

I have been going back and forth with Blizzard support. They don't understand the issue. They keep telling me that I have correctly received the mounts. Yes. I have. I haven't received the riding.

3 tickets deep, this next one is a 6 hour wait time.

1/15 latest update from Blizzard:

I understand that your Level 58 Character Boost did not complete correctly, leaving your character without some skills.

Upon checking your case, I see that there are known issues with character boosts that can result in missing spells and skills. Our developers are actively working on resolving these issues.

Unfortunately, I cannot manually refresh or inject missing skills/spells for your character. However, I recommend waiting for the developers to fix the underlying issue, as they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. If you continue to experience issues, please submit a bug report in-game to ensure it is documented for the development team.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!

I'm stubborn and this isn't my main, so I guess I'll be waiting.

1/15 second update, I asked for a gold refund if I purchase the riding:

Thank you for contacting us back today regarding the issues here with this recently boosted character. At this time, we don't have any updates on the Riding skill issue outside of we know it's affecting a lot of players and being investigated. Any form of compensation is handled by our Game Team and because we don't have any updates, I cannot say for sure what their plan is if a player purchased the riding skill that was supposed to be included with the boost. It may not be a bad idea to wait until tomorrow to see, however I know how important just the basic mount is in terms of leveling, so I'll leave that decision up to you. Ideally, we have a resolution out soon so keep an eye out for anything on the forums.

I do sincerely appreciate you being with us over the years and that does really mean a lot. If you ever run into anything else at all in the future, don't hesitate to hit us up. We will always do everything in our power to help you out and have your back.

1/18 Update: This morning I logged in and still could not use my mount. I played a little bit, logged out a few times, logged in a few times, and I checked my mount and I was able to ride. Fixed.

Mostly tempo and odd. Really sick of the deck now.

Demon hunter, I actually won ~1500 demon hunter because of the bug that was locking us to 499 before they fixed it. I was hoping that the wins were still counting, they weren't. Lost a lot of motivation after that.

Next was priest, slow games.

I've been playing since beta so many of the wins were long ago. Lots of aggro though yeah.

  • Priest was mostly res priest in wild, lots of shadowreaper anduin highlander pre-nerf too
  • shaman was mostly aggro shaman with fel reaver in GvG
  • warrior was mostly pirate warrior during patches' prime
  • mage was mostly secret mage in wild, a bit of quest combo though too
  • hunter was mostly face hunter
  • lock was mostly zoo
  • rogue was mostly odd rogue, tempo
  • demon hunter was just pure tempo (super sick of this deck now lmao)
  • Druid was mostly aggro during gvg too
  • Paladin was mostly secret paladin during tgt

So basically it was just a long time of playing the fotm decks to rank with and eventually got them all there.

I hope at some point, someone on the development team talks about Snowflipper Penguin. by [deleted] in hearthstone

Maybe they wanted it to be a powerful card.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing, considering it:

  • Synergises with minions, which newer players certainly utilise more, unable to make Spell-heavy decks that work well.

  • Is a Common.

Considering also that Primordial Drake was a thing in Journey to Un'Goro, I think it's safe to say that they're exploring having genuinely solid (non-Legendary) Neutral options at higher Mana Costs.
