Why did they weird up Battlegrounds with this buddy system?
It is confusing and adds needless complexity and weirdness to the mode that was pretty solid before.
I'm not sure I want to continue playing this gamemode?

Yeah I want a full refund for all Mercenaries purchases.
Hot garbage, it is what it is. A slap in the face.
They hyped tf out of it _knowing_ it was dog-shit.
Make Battlegrounds its own app, the file size of Hearthstone is crazy.
Delete Duels & Mercenaries; Full refunds where applicable.
Enrich and expand upon the concept of Arena. Possibly have 3 different arenas each with their own card drafting & availability mechanisms.
Allow players to play any Tavern Brawl gamemode they want, at all times.
Come out with 1 new & IMPROVED brawl each month.
Keep the expansions the same, lower the price of pre-purchases by 15% per bundle.
Make card backs matter. I don't care what card back my enemy has. Make some kind of effect like card outlines for your own hand of cards. Perhaps a more interesting effect for the different rareity status of each card.

I have twelve unopened Mercenaries packs which I can't get rid of because I won't finish the tutorial.

If they're gonna do anything, they're gonna change the progression. The juggernaut is kind of fine, but the deck is too strong on the way there.

Control won’t see play until quest line go away.

Seriously - how did this get through multiple iterations of balance checks? It has tempo, it has draw, it has consistency and it has inevitability (and with Mr Smite it has burst as well). Even with them skipping turn 1 (for quest) you can literally be half dead by turn 5 (I have a pic for proof if anyone cares).
While I realise I was foolishly playing preist, I survicve to turn 5. I had 14 health and they had a board of 2/2 (x3), 2/5 taunt (x1) and 28 health. I played minions every turn and they are 1 pirate away from their quest.
They've basically completed their quest with no adverse impact - none at all. It's just stupid.
Before you internet peoples say - "just play aggro" (or whatever smart arse comments are going to be forthcoming), try and think about things in an objective way. Quests are supposed to have a downside in exchange for a reward. Pirate warrior has no real downside, lots of upsides, and a quest which basically wins the game through attrition.
I seriously doubt any decks can really compete with this, all becuase Blizz buffed some pirates, printed some stupid pirates and can't understand the basics of their own game (and in all seriousness - I genuinely don't think they have the game at heart. Their focus is money - plain and simple. If they thought they could get away with a battlecry - "deal X damge for each dollar donated" I think they would print it).
They've killed the game. End of story.
Sigh....

It’s going downhill kind of just like the company is. It’s basically going through the world of Warcraft effect. Years go by, the game gets worse, players voice why it gets worse and what changes they’d like, and that gets ignored.
We don’t have announcements anymore. Just announcements of announcements.
It’s actually slightly maliciously satisfying for me watching some of their games crash, because people are FINALLY starting to vote with their wallets. Why would the company change anything about their game if everyone just keeps playing anyways?

Not sure about artifact, but Merc's is definitely not good for streaming. I don't watch many streams of any games (I'd rather play than watch), but at least standard/arena/duels streams come with some suspence, strategy, RNG, top decks, etc. There are exciting moments in those modes. Mercenaries just isn't built that way. It's a grindy RPG. Who wants to watch someone else grind for experience points?

Is Mercenaries the new Artifact?
I ask because some known streamers are playing it probably not because they want to play it, but because I think they feel an obligation to play it.
It reminds me of Artifact where some streamers went "down with the ship" (Stancifka, Gaara, etc.)
Do you remember when "Artifact was going to be future!!" --- yet there were tons of signs of trouble and then it collapsed.
I see this in every Mercenaries video. The game play looks boring. Streamers are playing Mercenaries only because the Hearthstone meta sucks badly right now and I don't get the sense they are enjoying playing it.
So do you feel Mercenaries = Artifact 2.0?

So, I maxed out a couple of heroes. While there is nothing to spend coin on, they still clutter the reward pool. Why on earth would anyone ever want to spend money to buy packs and risk buying nothingness? It is annoying to see another reward where 80% goes to the 1 hero, meaning more time wasted again and again and again. It sucks.
I read elsewhere that in future there might be something to spend those useless, superfluous coins on. "In future", "might be"... I was hoping maxed out heroes would leave the pool, or at least for the coins to be replaceable by something else. But nah, a big downer once more. I do no longer feel compelled to continue playing, knowing more and more of my time spent to get coins will be useless (n terms of 0 progress). I play for the here and now, not for wasting time hoping in the distant future where there might be changed something. What are your thoughts?
EDIT: They also keep polluting the camp fire (visitors), meaning more useless coins, less usable things, less value of camp fire. Take my advise: postpone maxing heroes as long as possible if you value, well, value... Geez.

Highlander and no Zephrys, why?

I think that the nerfs were really good, the only thing I think they should have changed was adding 2 overload to the Dragon's Pack instead of the change to the Slurper.
But still it was great that they reacted so fast.

All he asked was peoples opinions on this, but ofc some ass has to jump and post a reply like this.

Yeah sooo much fun Kappa

After all this time, they still can't relase a somewhat balanced expansion. Unbelievable...

It's not a FREEEEEEE game for the people who have spent money every expansion. So they don't have the right to expect a working product? Since this is a small struggling company, I guess you do have a point.

I got 2 of them, so that's probably where your skin went. I will open a ticket asap!
