If you "abandon" a task, is it supposed to replace it with a new one (like re-rolling daily quests)? I tried this yesterday and the visitor was just gone ... feelsbadman.
I had this happen to me once. Could have been with Xyrella, but might as well been with another merc. This isn't a Mercenaries specific bug, though, as this occurs to me more often in other modes. Try to play a different card, but don't actually play it and then try again with the card that's stuck in your hand. That usually solves the problem for me.
Sorry for the radio silence ladies and gentlemen, but I'm on a bit of a Hearthstone break, playing lots of FIFA. Submitted a card anyway because it would have been the first time since these competitions started on OOC if I had not, but yeah. Having a break feels right.
I'll surely make a come back in a few weeks, EA's idea of an in game economy is so outrageously rip off that I won't stand it very long. Good luck everybody!
Cairne is absolutely insane. I imagine he is a requirement at this point. Baron as well; he can snipe out a important merc before they can do anything crazy. I really like the Samuro/Xrella combo as it allows Samuro actually get the attack buff, and works well with Sylvanas as the copies Samuro summons buff her 2nd ability.
One bug not mentioned here, but encountered by a few people, including Brian Kibler: Cairne's second task -- which unlocks his first piece of equipment -- requires you to use Endurance Aura 10 times. However, it will look like it never progresses.
Thankfully, there's a solution: using Cairne's Foot Stomp ability seems to "unblock" the achievement. I immediately got the "Task Completed" message as soon as I finished the battle.
There's a lot to criticize but bottom line I find it very addictive. I'm also a whale so I have a lot of options and I've been leveling different parties with various combos. I haven't even got to heroic yet so it's been mostly easy but I haven't minded. I can see though that they need to iterate on it quickly so that some aspects don't get stale. PvP is really interesting but so far imbalanced. Maybe that will iron out as the MMR algorithm has more time to work.
The most disappointing thing is that you can't grind for skins. I have no way to work towards the skins I want. That's like not being able to grind for mounts I. Wow. I think it's a mistake. Skins are a reason to grind. Coins for leveling aren't. Skins would have been a concrete goal.
Facing the same rats in the Barrens every time will get tiresome soon. They need to give us more variety of enemies. As far as endgame difficulty I can't judge yet. But what are we working towards when we get there? More coins? Again skins would have been something. If your gonna make a PvE mode that people are throwing money at then give us goals.
The mode is not finished. I consider it a beta. But a very good beta. Hopefully they do too and will add more features quickly.
I'm also sad that there's really no RPG element. I how they add some of that kind of stuff. There's a lot of potential. The basic gameplay is addictive and satisfying for me. Hopefully it will grow and this is just the beginning.
But FFS let us grind for worthwhile endgame rewards! Skins and or something.
Also we have datamined strings that further confirm Legendary mode is a thing. Its a placeholder in the client for now.
I can't wait to see what they end up doing with it. I think Legendary is going to be the true endgame. Though, I do wonder if we'll get a level cap boost on all the mercs before we go up to Legendary. Then another boost when they inevitably go up to Mythic lol.
I really wonder if this commercial was concepted almost a year ago. They did originally think Mercenaries was going to launch way before it actually did. It was last year's overview lol.
I'm glad that was just a bug, and that they fixed it so fast. When I only got two tasks this morning my first thought was "why the hell did I need to upgrade that?"
"Changes it so that your Task Board now fully refills all empty standard slots each day (2-4, depending on if you have upgraded your Campfire), instead of refilling 2 each day."

Blizzard Releases a Late Night Update to Fix Mercenaries Issues in Patch 21.4
If you "abandon" a task, is it supposed to replace it with a new one (like re-rolling daily quests)? I tried this yesterday and the visitor was just gone ... feelsbadman.
So what does everyone think?
So am I the only person enjoying themselves?

The First Hearthstone Mercenaries Tournament Took Place Yesterday, Here's the Winning Party & Interviews
Would be nice if the party lineups was in table format so we could search and see which mercs are the most popular

Thank you for this info. But do you know to progress Cariels 2nd task (cast taunt 10 times)? Doesn't seem to make progress either...
Edit: never mind. It worked...

Progress is working in Duels too.

Nozdormu Day Has Returned! Here's a Round of Decks to Play to Celebrate Our Speedy Dragon Friend
Not bad, this time: 2 Noz opponents in 8 games on Wild ladder!
Also, "You may want to pick the Casual mode to not only prevent any potential Ranked losses [...]": Rubbish! Straight to Play Mode!!!
Problem with Xyrella
Hello.
I´m an android user, and i can´t play Xyrella properly.
She is on my party, but i can´t drag her to the play zone.
Anyone else with this problem?
Thank you!
Can't complete quests/ no progress
In ranked my quests progressed (Nozdormu and weekly 50 Hero powers)
So what does everyone think?
One more comment - I found watching Mercenaries streams very boring, unlike the traditional Hearthstone which I enjoy a lot.
How do you like Merc streams?

At least Guacboi was half the run time, so it didn't feel like it was dragging on.
Blizzard really sucks at making commercials for Hearthstone.

this was the most generic soulless commercial I have ever seen
Can't complete quests/ no progress
Yep - it's an issue reported on reddit too.
Quest log was full so decided to just lose 3 games in standard to complete my quests.
Tavern Brawl also works apparently though this week we have a rather unhelpful one for quest completion.

Same, can't finish my Noz quest.
