During the campaign it seems the game still uses Home City Level as a prerequisite for certain cards. I noticed the same thing in Act I of the Warchiefs and Act III of the base campaign.

If that’s the case and the developers decide that they want to keep that restriction, I ask that the game inform the player. Perhaps when you highlight over the card you get a message saying “Your Home City must be Level 15 to unlock this card”.

So in that case the fix is either:

  • Remove the Home City level restrictions
  • Keep the level restrictions, but inform the player that they exist

This issue still occurs in Update 29715.

This issue still occurs in Update 14.43676. Certain cards are unavailable to unlock, and the player is not told why.
