A Brief Video Overview of The New Hearthstone Mercenaries Game Mode
Blizzard came out with a very nice overview of what exactly the basics of Mercenaries Game Mode game play and mechanics are and what they look like in practice. A nice primer for the launch, next week, on Tuesday the 12th of October.
Take a closer look at Mercenaries!

"One of the things that gets asked about from the community, and that the team is passionate about trying to figure out, is some form of 2v2, and that was actually one of the original pitches. But as we went through, we settled on… character progression, roguelike RPG [elements]… as the thing that we wanted to add to Hearthstone. And we've been prototyping and building and growing that team over the last, I'd say, year"

not only will i not spend money on this mode, i'll stop spending the little i am spending atm on standard packs with pre orders ... unless they see the light one day ? we can still hope (may be ?)
Nope, still don't give a shite
Feels like Blizzard got it all wrong, since the objective was to make this their unholy Cash cow, but then making the PVP matchmaking system so that a whale can't face a "Rejector" (a rebel unwilling to spend money, in Activi$ion's eyes) hardly encourages the whale to furthermore spend more money, since there is just no motivation (the Joy of beating up and dominate most of the field)
Just a totally pointless mode competitive wise, yea it might only get used for it's PVE content, but for how long will it keep solo players interested ? ...
Solo players in a card game are really fucked up from their heads. Go play patience on Windows or smth
I watched all of Trump's videos for mercenaries and I gotta say the gamemode will get boring quick for me.
PvE mode seems all about PUZZLE SOLVING and having the right guys. You can already tell what will happen if you read what enemy's gonna do.
I have less info on PvP mode but it is obvious to me that the player with the money & the right combo gonna win every time. there will be less variety compared to the regular HS since only 3 guys are in play.
scamstone
Talk about long overdue.
