Mmm, that's why we made sure to include that warning in the opener. It looks like at least the team was good enough to turn it into an in-game message screen as well.
Hmm, early? I don't believe the Tavern Pass levels for the XP perks have changed even slightly. Unless you mean something else.
For me the featured Legendaries (and Epics) on the Rewards Track might actually be more of a reason to just skip it and look at other options. Some of the Hero skins might be more appealing than most of the actual cards.
Also here, and added all 11 of them in the Tavern Pass segment within the article now for easy previewing! It takes a little while to update the database with all the new patch things (and that's only if things go smoothly).
I'm going to wait and see what they have come up with. The question remains whether they can deliver and compensate properly to wash away all those bad feelings. But the lingering disappointment over ongoing issues is more than understandable.
Haha, to be honest, I'm sure you're not alone. I can tell you that I've never been very good at spotting each class' distinct frame markings either. This is probably even more crucial to colorblind people than your average user.
"Fake" seems like stretching it a little too much, considering it's all new cards within the context of the new upcoming expansion. The Death Knight Showmatch has certainly made it all somewhat of a strange territory to navigate with its semi-reveals (or spoilers/leaks) ahead of time, as is. We had to try our best and use our best judgment here and there.
"Re-revealed" might actually be all kinds of awkward in terms of a headline, and potentially even more confusing for people not following along with the whole reveal season. We can debate the merits of anything, but 2 Legendaries thrown together for one person to show is fairly unusual (do mind that we do not only cover the cards, but generally also try to shout out the reveals themselves). What with Blizzard throwing all these packages of cards together and even repeating cards from the expansion announcement at times.
However, we could at most look into sorting it a little better within, to have the brand new cards up top and the strictly "repeat" Legends in its own place, so nobody feels particularly confused or misled. Also do note it's been clearly mentioned there that they've been actually seen before during the Showmatch, which is something we generally tried to include everywhere for the sake of clarity. Last but not least, until said official reveal we only had the more or less blurry card arts to show for anything that's slipped through the cracks.
I don't know, I'm in the middle. But I can tell you that then (when accidentally shown during Showmatch streams) and now, some people seem to believe it's a great pick, and others go for 'eh, merely okay'. Probably depends how much one values a single point of damage and a cycle (Miracle Rogue just might).
I would imagine it should show us (similarly to any popup whenever a new card/copy is acquired/claimed outside of card pack opening), but I don't believe this has been specifically mentioned anywhere. If it's just silent, I'd expect a lot of people to complain about such an opaque implementation.
#Update(-s): Over 24 hours later since the Mercs event's sudden disappearance, we've got some official word from the dev team, and the promise of some form of a solution being discussed! More details to arrive soon. We'll let you know once that actually happens.
With this new information in mind, I've adjusted all sections and relevant lines accordingly for things to continue making sense and not become too confusing and jumbled. Which meant some previous takes had to be 'banished' to their own expendable dropdown sections: if you're only seeing this news and all of the comments now, the past coverage can be all found there.
Uhh, that's very disappointing from the support. I believe I've seen it mentioned (asked about) in the 24.6 Known Issues forum thread; it's generally worth making a post in there as well if you can be bothered. They claim devs read those closely at least and take note of reports, even if they don't respond.
Thanks, even though I'd like to think I'm among the least frustrated! Judging from the hundreds of disappointed (to put it mildly) comments I've read up to now across all those listed social media. The community sentiments seemed clear and strong on that one. I mainly did roll my eyes, cursed a little, and a bitter feeling at terrible handling of the issue would've remained (most of what used to be my Mercs time sort of getting eaten by Marvel Snap, but I still use PvP for quests and would've finished most of the event tasks).
It's almost Thanksgiving for Blizz too, so I never expected any instant resolutions like some players seemingly have, but here is hoping they can still figure out the right approach to share the next week if not this one (DeckTech did have a couple of new posts I'm going to add).
Aye, but there's a precedent for that, isn't there? Although in the early events they used to keep one or more bounties with new Merc's coins specifically locked until said event had ended/next patch arrived. It's the Old Gods who didn't all play by "the rules". That's why I'm sort of expecting one or more of the currently existing options to be repurposed for Rattlegore coins with the coming patch (even if the current lack of consistency might not warrant such trust). I did expand said paragraph a little to hopefully better clarify.
It's definitely one that somewhat confuses me with its wording. It doesn't feel as... intuitive as the previous examples AngryShuckie brought up, but sounds like their best attempt at translating an effect that also includes the opponent's turn within it. As you noted, not something we've seen as such.
I'd guess possibly not, since they didn't seem to try to go out of their way to balance all Rune cards equally between the upcoming sets. And with the Mini-Sets they already gave certain classes more Legendaries than others. Then again, can't presume too much as it is indeed a new territory with those deckbuilding restrictions.

Yes, actually, looking into it a bit more. From the person who compiled the reveal article and apparently as confirmed by HS dev:
Right, not the best shorthand. With Forge of Souls and the adjacent places also belonging to the larger Icecrown Citadel, it all often felt like one.
And I still remember both raid encounters all too well. Good times.

Now don't you dare to disrespect Mams! 'tis a rather pointless comment when the entire point flies over your head.

Now, when you put it *that* way...

Quick, let's act surprised!
