When Blizz sold me 130€ pre-order for mercenaries, without fixing it. Then I started feeling really screwed.
This was for me the biggest turning point. If the game company that I pay in order to have fun fuck me it is not fun anymore.
Lol that was 100% your own fault for pre-purchasing content u knew nothing about. U essentially bought a promise that wasnt at ur personnel subjectif standard.
Easiest solution is to be able to convert between different mercs at the same rarity, but still some issues with the sheer size of the glut of coins. PvP would probably be broken by some of the treasures, making it even more heavy grinding.
This is the best solution TBH. U can also make the conversion via the training ground at lvl 4 with lvl 3 adding a feature where u can put 2 lvl 30 Mercs for 24h for a garantee 50 coins for the mercs. This way u can earn coins when ur not playing for specific Mercs to alleviate a little the grind problem
Subjectif question with no thought behind it. I Say no, they should not give up on Mercs and continue to make it better. However i actually Play the game mode which 90% + of ppl Who Say to let it Die dont Do.
Op should screen shot His Mercs lobby to see if he truly plays the mode while saying it should Die.
You can't say this guy is not in the right though. Hearthstone has not innovated a lot these last few years. Sure there were some additions that shook up the game a bit such as Demon Hunter and spell schools. Other than that, the last year has only been recycling of old concepts.
The lack of innovation is explained by the sheer amount unrelated game modes which are being put out as well. What do Mercenaries and Battlegrounds even have to do with base game Hearthstone other than being set in the same universe? They are completely unrelated and just a way to save the sinking ship that is hearthstone (from a business perspective).
But he IS wrong, minisets are not supposed to introduce new concepts, thats the big expansion's job! All minisets have only ever delved deeper in interactions/concepts already introduced by prior expansions, they NEVER gave us what he is complaining about.
Whether the recent full expansions are lacking innovation or not is another story entirely (dont think they are, but that is rightfully debatable). Again, misplaced expectations.
Man, you are wrong this is the issue. Hearthstone is going pretty bad, I am not saying it and RMD01 either, data is saying this. Check Twitch's view about Hearthstone. Only Battleground saved Hearthstone, this is a fact. Most of the streamers are now in BG and not in constructed.
So, design is pretty bad and time is passing. In this specific context, the design team gave us the worst of themself, I even find this set offensive. It is offensive for a customer to see this reprinted crap to purchase.
Anyway, that you don't understand anything about HS is clear in your answers.
And yet you're STILL here! If the game is as bad as you described why didnt you just quit?! I'll never understand the ppl who keep saying the game is dying/went to shit but keep playing it or wasting their time badmouthing it on forums, must be a weird fetish or something.
If we were back at Ben Brodes era we would have zero new content to engage with in between expansions, so im very glad we even have anything new to play at all rn.
The game didnt get worse, it just got older, if you want higher levels of novelty you should wait for rotation or just find another game.
He never once Said the game is dying. He mentions leaving constructed for BG mainly, but also arena, duels and Mercs (if ur in to it) even though he blames BG and Mercs for lack of creativity.
Also i agree that we just need to Wait for a rotation, however that still wont prevent design reprints. Which is the main issue in his argument.
There is almost no dragon synergy atm in standard. Hope this mini set will have enough to justifie a dragon package at the least for a couple of classes.
I played this game mode a lot since launch, especially PVP. Last month, I managed to reach on 14.000 MMR, but Valeera ruined the battles. Now, I'm doing only the daily tasks and playing PVP until I reach 3 wins every day, for the coins.
I have ALL mercenaries maxed up, except Vanessa Vancleef, and about 80 closed packs. I think I also completed almost every task for each mercenary. Yes, I'm silly. But Hearthstone is the only game I play nowadays, exclusively on smartphone, and I was not enjoying Standard at all (first quests, now Roguestone).
I hope the nerfs bring me back to normal Hearthstone and maybe I'll play Battlegrounds again when the budies system cames out. But as long Valeera remain untouched, I don't wanna play a game which is decided on the first turn with a coin flip (Grommash + Valeera).
Good thing Lokholar is a thing that insta counter the valeera Comp with Varden and Jaina. This should stabilize the mercs meta. Really hope Alex Voone and Sinestra become a thing (brand New dragon Comp)
Also Sinestra could also be used has a budget Diablo.
The irony is that we, horde players, now dont need to finish this Garbage Honor Grind to get the other legendary lol. Thank you alliance, enjoy the Grind for Drek'Thar.
it's funny mode but too much grind and notthing special at all, hearthstone itslef is way more fun
Currently HS isnt fun for many because of a terrible meta, terrible expansion design and a terrible support team (not nerfing the real problems). Blizzard needs to make sure that Next rotation is actually a rotation with a brand New core set (not just a few card Switched) and better class identity design (not ok for Warlock to go from 1hp to 30 in 1 turn, wipe ur Board and Play 0 mana 8/8)
i read this kind of things every single month of every single expansion by years
if the game was not fun to you you were playing other games and talking abouth something else, meaby you are just frustrated because you lose but losing its part of the game and it doesn't make the game less enjoyable so you still continuing playing
meaby is better if you take a break and try some other games, today's videogames are fucking awesome i completed resident evil village 2 days ago really a piece of art of videogame and started dishonored 2 is very good too.
on battlenet launcher they sell crash 4 and overwatch they are more "action" and truly a dope
take a break and you will come back reborn
Wow if u dont know what ur talking about dont say anything. Losing? Lol. I dont Play rank. I Play to have fun, but every 1 is playing the same cancer quest decks that make playing for memes almost impossible. U should try keeping Up with the most hardcore players Who really dislikes the game direction.
Do u know where Firebat is? Have u Heard what Kibler and Alies have said. This just to name a few. When the majority of the playerbase prefers BG and duels over the main game thats when u know they need a better vision for rank and they need to balance the archetypes better instead of just powercreeping to high heaven.
But hey, if u like the this Garbage otk meta, all the Power to u

Would recommend to watch Rarran on YouTube. He is the Mercenary Guy. Has alot of vids about good Comps. Also just made a tier list of Mercs. But yeah, Cookie is in EVERY Comp for good reasons.
Dumbess example ever since heroic Quillboar only gives u 4 rewards for HC, i.e. 3 from the loot pool and 1 for ur party. So yes. What is written happens to be true.
Unless u have an actual example that says otherwise lol.
Edit: in reply to Maximaras quote. Still not used to this lol.
For sure 3 attack isnt much, but it adds Up rly fast. Pally can buff, Rogue has some synergy with multiple deathrattle so u can summon more. Priest can Do some shennanigans with it. It will be a top Legend of the set for sure.

Maybe this is Blizz solutions to the PPL Who spend the free dust they accidentally gave away lol.
Probably a mistake and u should make a refund ticket.
