That's a joke or something, right?

I don't want to spend fucking arcane dust on fucking Glacial Advance.

 Why not just buy the set for gold?

Yeah. He obviously decided to play on ladder with the death knight. In that case, buying the Path of Arthas set is a must.

 Wait, I can purchase it with gold? Where?

I swear this game is getting more confusing to me each new monetisation practise appears (and no, I really ain't trying to ladder up with DK, if anything, ocasionally I get into duel stuff or something).

 In the shop (duh). Keep in mind that by default Blizz is offering golden (money only) version and you need to change to non-golden manually (once you open golden versio in the shop there's button to the left). 

Damn, 2 legendaries, 3 epics and golden common. I didn't expect that, that's for sure.

First self-damaging pally now this? Are we cycling identities now? What's next freeze warlock, ramp hunter or ressurect mage?

PS. Technically druid got deathrattle last expansion and now a single ressurect.

How long does it actually take to get the drops? I claimed both mine hours ago. I've confirmed my accounts are linked and still not receiving the packs.

 Same question. Twich packs used to be nearly instant (literally minutes after the claim) but nothing this time.

Seems Blizzard had to little control over winrates. Why not toss a coin at the start of the game to determine winner.

It depends on merc rarity and the bounty (it seems droprates differ slightly). In general it goes like this:

-You need 2700 coins to max out most mercs (3 skills 5 levels each and 3 equipments with 4 levels. Some mercs have less equipment to max, e.g. Sylvanas has only 3 levels on her deathrattle equipment, whatever it is called)

-Old tasks gives 985 coins to specific merc and some amount to random ones (I'm to lazy to count the exact amount. Those coins are nice early on but since we still don't have duplicate protection they become worhtless later on).  New tasks (for merc that unlock one equipment throught bounty rather than task 7) give 55 more coins, 1040 total.

-As such with the merc already unlock and tasks done you still need 1660-1715 coins. 

-In case of legendary mercs whom seems to be most consistent in terms of bounty reward, you get min. of 15 coins from heroic bounty, rarely 20 and even more rarely an extra pile. I would say that it's rougly 20 coins of average per bounty. For common and epic mercs coins piles seems to be a bit bigger (20 is quite common, sometimes you can get 25).

-Finally 1660/20 is 83 - bounties to do (86 for 1715) . It a bit hard to tell how long it takes to finish a bounty even on average (it depends on you skill, avaible mercs, treasures and the bounty itself) but I would say 15-20 min at least in my case. As such maxing a legendary merc takes 21-29 hours with no extra coins from tasks, packs or ranked rewards (and shop of course).

Onyxia bounty is not loading either. How on earth devs heads are not yet rolling?

I'm quite sure they stopped any testing at least a year ago. The crazy amount of conspicuous bugs in every patch kinda  proofs it.

Pvp in mercenaries is awesome, much better than standard nowadays. You just need to get through grind phase.

Two 4/5s on board on turn one, completely balanced. When will Blizz realize that "cost less" is a bad idea. 

 This sort of extreme unlikely scenario is irrelevant. Might as well bring up multiple scenarios where the gnolls are stick at the bottom of your deck. Not to say that it couldn’t be changed to cost 6 or be adjusted into a 4/4 and still be fair 

 4 out of my last 20 games against rougue. 10 other had one 4/5 on turn one which is still quite powerfull. And normally I wouldn't count extreme scenarios either but that's rogue we're talking about, it can cicle through tons of cards for free/nearly free so it's not extreme at all.

How did you get 254 expansion packs? Both bundles and then over 100 more?

I was talking about reduction to 0 mana problem. 2 years ago. I suggested Duels treatment where most passives have effect ,,but not less than 1". And the answer from people was ,, Who hurt you " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The ability to discount things to less than 1 has been an issue in the game for forever, and it's all caused by how Hearthstone has completely uninteractive opponent turns.  It feels like absolute garbage to just sit there and watch the opponent spam cards initiated by multiple 0-cost mana cheating and discount.

If Hearthstone had a real counterspell system like other card games you could actually do something to interrupt their solitaire, but until that happens they really need to stop people from being able to play 8 cards a turn.

Just delete Astalor Bloodsworn and Theotar. Meta fixed. 

 while 15/15 stealth minions on turn 3 are ok
It's like OG Van'cleef 

You have to relaunch the game, it's somewhere in the middle :) 

This expansion feels like all the class identities were rotated by Silas Darkmoon

Poor Scalerider, you were just slowing your dragon down.

rip Scalerider got powercrept into oblivion.

Twisting Nether cries in a corner.
