Seeing some people open packs with no Mercenaries in them, even tho they don’t have all of them yet 😭 might be worth waiting opening your packs until this is fixed! https://t.co/lMCVzSR6FJ

        @RidiculousHat But he checked and said he didn’t have all the rares yet.

          @ninaisnoob there are a couple of rares that are unlockable through story only - if those are the ones missing, he has all the collectibles

            @RidiculousHat Ohh, maybe that’s the case! Thanks for clarifying 😊

              @ninaisnoob off the top of my head i believe it is cariel garrosh cornelius rokara tyrande samuro xyrella millhouse and yeah it's real confusing tbh, i thought the same thing as you before @hsdecktech corrected me

                @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob This sounds right for the story rares. You’ll know if a merc got converted into coins because you’ll get more coins than the normal coin drops (which are 35-45 per bunch).

                  @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob I thought you were supposed to get a portrait once you had all the mercs of that rarity

                    @adam_noodelman @hsdecktech @ninaisnoob each slot has a chance to be a portrait but they're not guaranteed

                      @RidiculousHat @hsdecktech @ninaisnoob I remember reading somewhere that once the mercs were all filled out the guaranteed merc slot becomes a portrait or maybe I'm misunderstanding or misremembering it

                          @RidiculousHat @adam_noodelman @hsdecktech Wait, this says that we should be getting Mercenary Portraits instead and that’s not happening? https://t.co/mFU6QfVoCH

                            @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman @hsdecktech this is saying that we should be getting guaranteed merc portraits if we've finished a rarity lap. it looks like they're still in the pool but not guaranteed atm

                              @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Yeah, it *is* intended that at some point you’ll start getting packs that are mostly or entirely coins. That said, I can’t guarantee everything’s working as intended. I’ve raised it with the team to look into.

                                @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Follow up: I talked to the team. They're still keeping an eye, but it *is* possible to get all coins before having all rare Mercs. It's kind of a weird combination of things:

                                  @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Missing rare mercs are blocked b/c they're story mercs; a merc is chosen to pick from the portrait pool; all of *that* merc's portrats are already owned; portrait converts to coins. So it doesn't check if portraits are available before deciding which portraits to select from.

                                  @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Yeah I had some packs back to back with all coins. Logged out and in and packs went back to having mercs again. Was after opening like 40 packs or so.

                                    @LeBruce @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Might just be coincidence, but I'll add that to the note, just in case.

                                        @Pure_WildHS @LeBruce @RidiculousHat @ninaisnoob @adam_noodelman Yeah, that's probably within the range of what's to be expected. It was the implied timing thing that raised my eyebrow in Ian's tweet.
