Yes, actually! So I guess I wasn't the only one. I've added the screenshot to the article now (near the top, below the Gryphon card back), if that's what you got. I was relieved to see the packs afterwards (but …

#Update

Added some smaller updates here and there, plus a section with Task Guides and their associated links. All tasks are now available as well. If you don't look at your Mercenaries Mailbox at all, it's worth noting they've …

There definitely were for the Masters Tour. 

My Phoenix packs timers went like this: 

EU - 68 packs; Legend - (8,27,46).

Ame - 67 packs; Legend - (40,49).

But I also recall somebody else on the team (Avalon?) reporting at one point that guaranteed pity …

They were, but apparently didn't manage to do so completely. We might have to be stuck with it until another major patch (for the Core set) pre-expansion...

Aaaand sounds like the changes might've been implemented just right afterwards! 

I mean, that's probably true with how many missteps they've had so far, a lot of people got a rather poor impression of Mercs. The PvE playerbase as a whole might be on the more casual side and we don't …

The patch isn't yet live (we should have a notification up and posted once the server side has been updated), this was just the patch notes being released a day earlier to let us know what to expect.

As you can see, posting within an hour wasn't nearly long enough to judge. ;) These things tend to pick up steam as they go. But also as Suchti points out, there is often little to no correlation. We've had …

My guess would be they might be afraid of their content being even more easily datamined should they do that. 

There is the usual Blizzard's forum thread for the patch. As is often the case, not everything picked up by or reported by the community even makes it there. I haven't had the time yet to go through all issues …

Thanks! I was actually hoping to get it out earlier like with the previous MT, but with all the patch and expansion stuff also taking place... not nearly enough hours in the day. They couldn't have had a more unfortunate …

Hmm. Sounds like one of the more obscure interactions they might not've tested for. From what you describe it either shouldn't trigger the Secret if the countered thing was the only card played in that turn, or give you the …

If only! 

Yes, pretty much so. I've talked about it at length in our most recent meta/decks update, as we went back to more polarization and coin flip matchups on ladder. Haven't had a chance to play much after the changes …

I swear these notifications like to fail me especially during the busy weeks. And so my late-ish thank you for the kind words! Perhaps I ought to ask for more constructive criticism at this point, can't have everything be as …

Yep, there is also that fact (if you recall what the patch notes first stated) we were not supposed to get all 10 tasks available all at once. The final 2 would've only unlocked today if everything went according to …

Chi-Ji is meant to be that alternative Toki for the event duration. ;) They just didn't quite think about how people who might rush through the event in the first few days might react to seeing a blank space for …

Yeah, sadly the Mercs packs as they currently are (with no pity timers) can mean somebody finds their Legendary in 5 packs, and another will need 40 if unlucky. They aren't nearly as valuable or worthwhile as Constructed ones, despite …

Actually this is the first and only season for 2022 when Grandmasters follow the similar pattern as in the past, except this time it's only 4 weeks long (rather than 8 weeks), including playoffs. So it's really more of a …
