Just burnt though 54 packs from gold and tasks, got dw in last few and no drek or van... Worst I had so far, usually get all new ones in first 20 or so, thought there was a pity timer on the legends, definitely went though more than 40 before dw
1. complete Vanndar's 2nd event quest before opening packs (1st quest is play a Brawl, 2nd quest is complete 2 bounties). This gets you Vanndar for free
2. as has been said, there is no pity timer for mercs packs. I very deliberately counted packs when I got Valeera (and didn't open packs until the next batch were released). I didn't get Balinda for 63 packs, then didn't open packs again until the next batch, then didn't get Long'xin for 60 packs
If there isn't a pity timer I am very fortunate because I always found everything in a reasonable amount of packs and my PC is still on my desk. Yes because if I had to open 63 packs in order to find Balinda my PC now would probably be broken on the head of some Blizz retarded developer.
The more I hear this bullshit, the happier I am to quit this money-stealing shit forever.
I just opened Vandarr from a pack, arent we supposed to get him from a quest chain? Did I screw up by opening early? :(
No, you didn't screw up - unless you got the golden one that is advertised. You get a specific golden Vandarr merc portrait through the quest. If you don't own a Vandarr yet, you only can play with that one, but it doesn't protect you from getting the other portraits of him in packs.
it would depend on if you care about portraits or not.
If you don't care about portraits and only wanted the merc to play with, if you got Vanndar out of a pack before completing the quest, then yeah, you kinda screwed yourself out of a legendary.
i had 47 packs saved, opened 4 new mercs, only 1 legendary. I remember after release i had all 4 portraits of some epic merc and around 600 coins before getting the merc. Had to craft it.
We should have the pity timer. So there is an average of 20 packs per legendary.

I just wont open packs until they bring dupe protection.
They'll have to. Eventually. Most of my packs contain "nothing".

so apparently the stated odds for a legendary is supposed to be "1 in 20"
