I'm not sure but I think its 30. however even if I knew, counting the turns while I do tasks would be too much and I would lose count almost immediately anyway. Just go with your guts and try not to push too far. Filling a board with cookie's fishes 2.5 times is usually my high limit. (:
If the 90th turn happens and there are still enemies still alive, all your Mercs Explode. They also do not earn any experience, but you do get reward track EXP.

yea that sounds right. however, I wonder, does this 90 include enemy turns as well? so in other words, do we only get to push the "end turn" button 44 times before our comp. explodes?
after completing even more all 18 tasks per mercenary, I think I have opened 200+ packs now.
but now I reaaaly wonder.. Has anyone got a diamondportrait in a pack? I never did with my 200+ packs. I kinda wanna know the odds, am I just unlucky or did blizz make them as rare as winning the lottery?
update:
I still cant believe I did this... I bought 50 packs more with gold, out of my hunger for getting just 1 diamond. resulst: still NONE
I am sitting at 290+ merc packs now. without a single diamond. fuck man I destroyed my in-game savings. it really felt like gambling at a casino. getting to see portraits made me excited and as I opened more packs, I thought my chances would be higher in the "next" pack to open a diamond... I feel pretty bad now and just wanted to share this to maybe make myself feel better.
but thats it. I will never buy another merc pack again unless they implement some kind of a dupe protection or pity timer.
Cookie task to summon fishes is super easy on felwood just need blink fox with ten tails equip and for him to copy the doubling imps thing that lets you summon a copy of the fox with 3 foxes + cookie you can do a summon every turn
I know I replied earlier in the thread regarding diamonds and said I spent a lot of gold/money but I didn't really specify a quantity of either and while that won't change your odds of a diamond portrait but it might paint a better picture of the cost.
I havent kept a total count of how much I have spent but I know that in dollars I have spent over $750 and I think i might be a lot higher since the release but like I said I never really paid attention and as for in game gold for packs easily over 3k.
What I noticed that really irked me was that I wouldn't get a diamond portrait before all the other portraits were first collected unless I bought a portrait pack and only then maybe on a chance would I get that elusive diamond portrait.
The disappointing thing for me is that the people who are still putting time into this mode are most likely collectors who want those shiny diamond portraits like us yet there really isn't a proverbial carrot to keep us trying. Every new merc they add just dilutes the portrait pool which decreases the odds of getting a diamond from an earlier merc.
Instead they increased the difficulty of bosses and pvp fights, put heroic requirements on gear levels and still kept that stupid potato in the game and of course we can't forget that they know are willing to sell us a whole variety of things that won't help with any of the aforementioned changes other than an auto battler to level up our mercs after 3 days.
Sorry if I went a bit off tangent in regards to your post but the reality is, if you want a diamond portrait you are going to have to spend a ridiculous amount of in game gold or out of pocket cash and that is a shame.
The diamond Valeera I got (during a pack opening binge of about 60-70 packs trying to just get Balinda) is the only diamond I have, and I didn't have any other Valeera portraits.
I'm 27 packs deep trying to get Long'xin, but I'm out of gold and I refuse to give Blizzard cash until they address the coins issue.

Diamonds portraits are unacceptably low imo
damn I wish I knew about this earlier. would not spend that much gold of mine :') RIP my 5k gold
but thanks for sharing this info and your experience. I completely agree then, I think the diamond portraits are like one of the best aspects of this gamemode and its a shame its behind that huge paywall unless you get reaaly lucky.
I wish they implement some disenchant mechanic for excess coins (return value depending on rarity of course) and make portraits available for crafting through coins or maybe even gold. But they prolly wont because I can see that their portrait bundles make a lot of money for blizz.
in addition, I truly expect some changes in the pack system tho, because a lot of the packs that I open are basically NOTHING. and this "nothing" ratio will only increase with time as they implement more mercs and old mercs will just dilute the reward/pack coin pool. I hope that happens soon.
If the 90th turn happens and there are still enemies still alive, all your Mercs Explode. They also do not earn any experience, but you do get reward track EXP.

No you push “Fight!” 90 times. Normal Hearthstone you only get 45 turns since both players hit end turn

oh ok, that sounds great actually, and a lot. did not know this thanks.
May I ask how you did Chi-ji 'Defeat Ivus before without him going dormant task' please?
Malfurion, Bru'Kan, Lady Anacondra. Stack Nature spell damage then hit ivus just less than 100 damage. then, use brukan's chain lightning that would kill him instantly. if your damage is not enough, you can hit your own team with brukan's +3 nature damage ability until you have enough.
May I ask how you did Chi-ji 'Defeat Ivus before without him going dormant task' please?
I did it with Jaina, Varden and Balinda. You stack spell power on the other minions with Jaina and Varden and then you one shoot him with Jaina and Varden
Is it I or the quest after for the casters related to The Annointed Blade Heroic is bugged? I did the request and I have not completed it. My understanding is that there is a spelling error for the name of the Annointed Blade. After you defeat him he has another name on the screen.

The MAX turn limit in PVE Bounties is 90 Turn

Hello. Did you complet mission "42"? I cant battle again Vanndar.
It's not available yet. The Vanndar and Kazakus bounties will open March 9th.

Chi-Ji event task 4: complete heroic annointed blade with only casters seems bugged for me. cannot complete it.
anyone knows a workaround?
May I ask how you did Chi-ji 'Defeat Ivus before without him going dormant task' please?
I did it with fution, brukan and morgl. Heal, stack spell damage, finish with one lightning.
Edit: task 4 bugged for me too
are you guys on EU or something?
Malfurion, Bru'Kan, Lady Anacondra. Stack Nature spell damage then hit ivus just less than 100 damage. then, use brukan's chain lightning that would kill him instantly. if your damage is not enough, you can hit your own team with brukan's +3 nature damage ability until you have enough.
yes I'm on EU

EDIT: Ah I am not the only one.
Blizz is a joke anyway, It is not even testing the quests after the writing. It was sufficient a worker in order to try them all.
