      @RidiculousHat Do you think PvE will grant the same amount of XP as PvP? That’s really the decider for me.

        @eFicatiousEagle i expect pve will likely be close to no cost if you want it to be

          @RidiculousHat I’d rather spend money and play PvE than PvP personally. I’m just tired of feeling like I’m losing xp because I‘m not playing PvP

            @eFicatiousEagle you cannot lose out on something you currently don't have. if you ignore mercs the system will stay the same as it is now.

              @RidiculousHat My point is more along the lines of how I never play Dungeon Runs anymore because they feel like a waste of time in terms of xp return. I want to play this mode and probably spend money doing so, but I feel PvE and PvP should have the same incentives. Maybe that’s unrealistic tho

                @eFicatiousEagle hs is a multiplayer game at its core and pvp is more likely to require spend to keep up. i think it's reasonable for that mode to be a bit more rewarding of the investment.

                  @RidiculousHat I see that and agree, but the mode requires PvE in order to have full access to PvP from my understanding. Plus we were told they were creating a PvE mode with some PvP possibilities, if the rewards are unequal it will basically be the other way around. We’ll have to wait and see

                    @eFicatiousEagle @RidiculousHat Currently planning on PvP to award the same XP as Constructed Ranked PvP and for PvE to award the same amount of XP as Arena/BG/Duels.

                        @RidiculousHat @eFicatiousEagle Hmm, we had a merc in playtest that ate another friendly merc to gain its stats. That was fun.

                          @IksarHS @eFicatiousEagle did their name start with m and rhyme with butanus

                            @RidiculousHat @eFicatiousEagle I don't remember, we did a lot of flavor swappin' around in the early days. That does sound like a very butanus design
