Ok, I finally got an uncorrupted 7 win run.

I tried to make a legendary warrior with deathrattles, and that worked out (weaker because i cant fit grommash), but I didnt hit disks. I got emerald goggles and mysterious tome. Tome OTKed a Quest hunter turn 1 because I got counterspell.

Similar designs, so it's a question of preference. Armor gain is usually more expensive and harder to achieve than simply dealing damage with Nature spells, so Zuluhed should cost more than Deathwing Lord Prestor. I personally lean more toward Zuluhed because I want to give a win condition to Dragon Shaman, although the numbers still need tweaking.

If you're curious, "Zuluhed the Whacked" is an actual character, leader of the Dragonmaw clan and even makes an appearance in Gul'dan's Book of Heroes. The weapon is made up, though. Lord Prestor is Deathwing's human form, like Onyxia/Lady Prestor, so I gave them the same statline.

The same thing! The communication with Blizzard support turned out to be a complete disappointment. This weekend I was watch streams using a VPN, it didn't help me. I used different devices, different browsers, different YouTube accounts :[

Competition Theme: Just My Type

Sometimes you just need to know who your friends are - and I know exactly the type I'm looking for!

• You must create a card which has an effect when all minions in your deck are the same type
  • Whether it be Dragons or Demons, Mechs or Murlocs, so long as they're all the same type you're good to go!

We've brushed up on our spells before, but now Lundy wants us to revise those minion types!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Has any videogame in history ever launched without any bugs? I can't imagine that, especially these days with massive multi-platform releases. It would be quite the improvement if everyone published their known bugs from the start - I think this is a GREAT look. Being open is way better than saying nothing.

At least they're letting you know so you can decide whether or not it's a dealbreaker.

They kinda tried. Over the past week or so the twitter account made more than 10 posts about the merc release and the youtube channel uploaded 4 videos in the same timespane.

I must have missed out on it; what workaround is there?

The xp gain bar is still appearing when I get it via achievements, so chances are good its fixed as you say, but wouldn't it be strange not to make it public.

In this case I rather take these mostly light bugs, than another delay.

That was actually disabled via a server update, because of a real bug that caused it to permanently stay on screen. There is a good chance that it's fixed and simply wasn't mentioned, because of the previously mentioned work-around.

Launching with bugs? Oh well, at least they're being honest with it. Not a good look though.

I guess releasing a game when it's ready is really oldfashioned now. Just release the known issues in front so you can point at them when people complain.

I can see that the bug where the xp gained not being shown on screen is not listed as fixed. Am I to assume that this is a new feature then? Its been here for a month now at least.

Why wasn't there any effort to build up hype then?

Well shit, when my run started to went well some random steal rogue decided to Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate'd me. He destroyed the whole board and became a 42/41 when I was at 40 health and 3 armor. Obviously he's been able to fill the gap and finished me and my run ended as 9-3.

I got so frustrated I quitted without even getting a screenshot from the ending screen. I also forgot to take screenshot from the start as well and too lazy to properly get the data from the deck tracker. I'll definitely try more and come up with better runs.

Suggested priest deck is working though ;)

Finkle's name is a reference to the film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, wherein Ace finds that Ray Finkle has assumed the identity of female detective Lois Einhorn.

Making a punchline out of a trans person (as they do in the movie) is problematic, so they've removed the reference. I'd guess they will change it in WoW as well.

Because the name, Finkle Einhorn is based off of a character in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In it, a person named Ray Finkle went insane because of a football game and was committed only to escape later to assume the identity of a missing person name of Lois Einhorn. Quickwit most likely is just a name they pulled out of their behind.

Even Duels had a pre-release event.

Right, and Duels is just PvP dungeon run with a tiny bit of constructed to it, so doesn't have any of the issues I said exist for doing it with Mercs.  

I think you're way too bothered by it anyway. It really doesn't matter if Blizz is confident about the mode or not. What matters is whether you like the mode as it is, so just wait 'til it releases tomorrow and decide whether you like it or not then. 

Being a F2P player is hard when Anduin looks at you like this lol

But why? Finkle is part of classic event. Who is this Quickwit anyway?

Even Duels had a pre-release event.

Hey fellow RT grinders! I´m reporting myself after 2 weeks, jumped from 120 to lvl 150. I´ve hit 6000 total wins along the way (4220 Ranked, 1700 Duels and 80 Arena lol) and leveled my last Hero (DH) to 60 lvl. My achievement count is stuck at 90% done and if I won´t open the last required cards, I won´t get any further.

So how did your climb go? Happy with your results so far or does it feel too slow? Let us know. Thanks all! Happy grinding! :)

I'm so happy to learn that they will be making Reward Track quests more Mercenaries-friendly! It's nice that they are compatible with constructed quests, unlike BGs. If I can finish all my quests without ever playing Questline-stone again, I'll be thrilled. It seems like they are pulling out all the stops to allow people to play the mode they prefer instead of everything being about constructed -- very smart for times like these when one bad expansion wrecks the entire game for the next year and a half.

Performance bug where playing Mercenaries for longer periods (around 1.5-2 hours) will cause lag and performance slowdowns, especially in devices with less RAM. The workaround at this time is to restart the client if that begins.

so they're launching mercenaries with a memory leak. that's just super.

oh yeah... I kinda suspected that to be the case even without the note...
