We talked about this last week that upcoming changes were coming to spectator mode and that I expected the patch to either hit last week or this week. Well, it’s now live today.

Along with being able to spectate from game to game, there are also some bug fixes and a new animation for Mimron’s Head. Still no word what the datamined strings for “spectator party” means though.

You can read the full patch notes here:

In this Hearthstone patch, we’re adding a new seasonal card back to the game, making Mimiron’s Head fancier, improving Spectator Mode, and addressing a few bugs.

The full patch notes are below!

---

GENERAL

• The following card back has been added to Hearthstone:
  • Lunar Card Back: Acquired by reaching Rank 20 or higher in Ranked Play mode during the month of February.
• When a match you are spectating ends, your client will be put into a waiting state until your friend joins another match. You’ll automatically connect to their next match without having to re-enable Spectator Mode. How convenient!
• Mimiron’s Head has an AWESOME new play animation. Go ahead, push the big red button!
• [iPad/Android] You should no longer see the “You have been disconnected” message when you start up the game.
• [iPad/Android] The in-game friend’s list should now open much faster.

BUG FIXES

• Players will now continue to spectate a match even after 30 minutes of inactivity.
• Cogmaster has taken a break from constructing mechanical menaces and has given himself a tune-up! His attack will now properly increase when a Mech is in play, even after his Attack and Health stats have been swapped.
