If you try to start a Mercenaries match that apparently doesn't want to start (just an empty board), DO NOT restart the client without conceding first.

The first time it happened to me, it was the first match of the board, so I hit the "Concede" button first.. nothing happened, then I restarted the client. I was able to get back in, but it did treat it as a concede.

Second time it happened was on third battle, so instead of conceding, I just went straight to restarting the client. Now I'm apparently stuck trying to reconnect to a match that doesn't exist, no matter how many times I restart.

lol, and now I'm hard-locked out of the game.

Sometimes, if you start a Mercenaries battle, the battle won't start, it's just an empty board. The first time it happened, it was the first match of the board, so I hit the "Concede" button first.. nothing happened, then I restarted the client. I was able to get back in, but it did treat it as a concede.

I primarily play a Curse/Mill warlock in Wild (not terribly successful, but it's what I find fun.. I don't particularly care about climbing ladder).

I'm about 50/50 against Questline Hunter with it.. it largely depends on my own draw. The trick is because curses trigger the questline, I can cause it to trigger when the hunter has a full hand, thus milling Tarvish.

well, there's -some- Mercenaries content, which was somewhat unexpected.. I thought they were just gonna pretend the mode didn't exist until 23.4

Sad that Trigore is apparently untouched. He has absolutely destroyed Mercenaries pvp since his ill-conceived buff.

For whatever reason, Battlegrounds is the most "streamer friendly" mode, so that's what all the kids glom onto. Can't stand the mode myself, but who am I to dictate what people do and don't like?

I do, however, have a nice lawn I would like them to vacate.

Heroes of the Storm died for this...

I got Balinda when I was only 2 legendaries away from getting the diamond one from achievements. Feels bad.

I'm not Blizzard, but I certainly hate it

any brawl with discover mechanics should have Nozdormu rules

gets murdered by Kazakus/Trigore/Diablo.. WHICH IS EVERY DECK NOW

I sincerely have no idea what they were thinking with this Trigore buff.

It's April 2nd, please tell me they haven't changed their mind about removing the priest class.

No drops so i'm not interested, especially not in a battlegrounds stream.

Aaaaarrrgh, more mana cheat shit. Why Blizz why?

0 mana cards that should not exist: this.

Might as well just ban this from wild right now lol. If anyone's seen dane's priest games on his channel, you should be terrified of this existing.

Bonkers. More like Voyage to the Drunken City.

Team 5, you're hammered.

Exactly. It takes all of 10 minutes to complete. Some people just enjoying being angry, I guess.

Uh, it really doesn't take much effort to do three basic barrens bounties. This just seems like spite to me over nothing.

I think there are two main reasons why mercenaries are most likely more successful than people assume.

The first being that it just does not make for a very streamer friendly format. Even the most entertaining players had trouble keeping a few hours of repetitive content entertaining, so they seemed to drop it after a while. Which in turn makes the mode seem underplayed since it doesn't get much public attention.

The second being that Blizzard just does not share any data. It could be dying in the dust. It could be the most profitable mode ever. We just don't know.

Personally I'd wager that it's not as successful as they hoped, but doing better than people assume. It's definitely a more mobile-friendly format, and allows for a few minutes of daily entertainment before moving on to something else.
