Hope Diablo will count toward Warlock 12 win conditions and I can pull the wins. I don't enjoy piloting Warlock decks maybe combining It with Warrior gives me the push I need :D
Games are designed with target audiences in mind. I don't play sports games (Madden, NBA, etc) because I find them dull, reptitive, and not really into sports. I also like shooter games, but not Call of Duty type games. Does this mean I need to go bitch on reddit/forums about how those games to cater to me or try to include me? No. I realize what I like and I dislike.
Anyhow point is: Gamers can (and have) twisted the market place of games into a different space. It's up to developers to make sure that their own vision for the game doesn't get swept under the bed by the clamoring of mass players demanding games cater to their every specific need.
I just want to touch upon this point in your comment.
If the devs want to market this to specific groups of people, they can just go clean with another IP, or just use the WoW brand as hearthstone has done. Instead, they plastered this into hearthstone so its clear that they expect a sizeable amount of hearthstone players as part of its regular audience. So the 'bitching' will obviously come from an audience of hearthstone players in the hearthstone reddit.
In any case, you make a compelling point that people shouldnt expect games to fit sizes where it suits them, but this isn't (mostly) really about the game being shit, its criticism directed at specific actions taken by devs which the playerbase aren't impressed by. I don't need to play fifa or madden to know that lootboxes aimed at kids comes with large, looming ethical issues, and I certainly dont need to play it to criticise it.
One thing I forgot to mention - the Scarabs from Infested Goblins are beasts as well so if you are going for a guaranteed Armagedillo resurrect don’t play the Scarabs before doing your N’zoth turn.
There's at least three high level tasks that require you to use your abilities to complete. I dont have a list for you, but from my experience;
- Theres at least two high level tasks that require you to do damage while being in a team, something like do X fire damage with this merc in your team.
- There's one high level task that require 6 bounties (task 14-15?), and task 18 is usually 4-6 heroic bounties
Depending on the merc, there's usually one very annoying task that require you to use an ability no one generally uses, or a task that require your merc to die. Sylvannas has one that require you to kill 15 enemies with death volley (which require her to die), mutanus needs to use devour 60 times, Dawngrasp needs to deal damage with ice lance, etc. So if you're going to grind, choose wisely. Some of them are more annoying than others.
I guess with the uniqueness of the Mercs matchmaking system it would make it easier to do something like that too. You each form a similar team that is not a power range you'd typically see and then hope to queue into each other.
Mercenaries could have been such a fun game mode, but after my (random) opponoent conceded on turn 1, after I killed one of his mercs and I didn't get a win for my chest, I felt pretty bad. I won this game. It's already hard enough to enjoy this mode f2p and now it's even harder to grind for wins without a great comp. I kinda feel betrayed and want my 4k gold back that I spent on this game mode that they're now hotfixing to death.
And basically, they achieved the opposite of what they wanted to do. Now only the wintraders are getting rewards, by letting their opponents snipe 3 mercs. All the "normal" players are getting f*cked by this...
Same problem for me. Can't sign in from my new phone. Tried different browsers, time change, wife's phone, another provider... Nothing helped. It last about a week now.
One and done with Paladin. Call to Arms helped loaded my side up, eventually got all the Dreadsteads on my side. I was also rotating right so the Dudes then kept thrm their, and got to have a 7 to 1 minion advantage.
I'm right there with you personally. For me, the fun of the game is the slow building of the collection. That's part of how a collectible trading card game is played, by collecting. The few times I've preordered a whole set and had a ton of packs to open on day one, I found the whole set that much more boring. I enjoyed having rewards to collecting a certain amount of cards in Duels since it meant I had a fun new toy to play with in the duels mode as I progressed the collection throughout the year.

I thought you guys were joking. It can't be done that quick. I did not look at the time, but I did it rather quickly, too.

Random Event Tiles: Suggestions
I love your Side quest idea! It's got both downside and upside, so I tried to think of more like that. Maybe one that randomizes your speeds?
What does Sabotage currently do?

It's confirmed for today, isn't it? The announcement I mean.

Coffee: Check.
You know what I'm going to say: Check.

I'd bet my money on today or tomorrow.
Possibly today, since Blizzard likes making announcements on Thursdays but... they're kind of unpredictable these days.
Taunt Warrior
After the nerf, isn't Saronite Chain Gang summon a new copy? If so, the summoned copy shouldn't get the +5/+5. Am I missing something?

Taunt Warrior
If you are going for that build you should remove Infested Goblins too because the Scarabs they add to your hand are beasts as well.

Try shaman. If the merry go round goes to your right you'll likely win it most of the time.
