hearing 100th time the same voice from a merc is annoying
I do not know how to check the abilitiesmof enemy before/at the beginning of battle
Otherwise it is very repetitive and not really exciting, I may get bored very soon.
You can check what the enemy in PvE is going to do just by scrolling on its pic. It'll show you what they will do, and the speed of the attacks on that turn. Far as I know you cant actually check the enemy's full abilities roster, but no doubt at some point some website will catalog it out.
As for PvP, no clue at all. I think its the similar pokemon deal, where you cant really see your opponent's list of attacks.
Actually I would like to know all abilities at the beginning of battle, so I can select the appropriate team. Also, this would help to plan the battle - for example whom to take out first based on the next moves
I preordered the Mercenary preorders and in packs I got duplicate legendary mercenaries.
I believe now I understand where is the problem - most likely wrong technical decision by Blizzard, which caused damage to paying customers.
On the preorder bundles Blizzard stated: "The Lich King Mercenaries Bundle includes a Diamond Legendary Lich King Mercenary and 50 Mercenary packs" (and it was the same description with other preorders).
But this was false advertising. The preorders only contained Diamond Portraits, not Diamond mercenaries, thus they were not included in duplicate protection. If they were really Diamond Mercenaries, not Diamond Portraits, I would get a regular legendary mercenary instead of a duplicate one. But for both Lich King and Diablo packs I purchased I opened a Lich King and Diablo mercenary from a pack (not portrait, the basic mercenary) getting a duplicate instead of a new mercenary. I believe, this is unacceptable.
I mostly agree with the comments. The gameplay is a grind. Once you will level up your party to max, the only thing keeping you alive will be PVE battles, with meta builds.
I see this game as an extreme grind, with bounties rewarding 10-25 coins of a particular mercenary and you needing shitton of coins to level the abilities.
I will play it ocasionally but definitely not as a main game. I hope there will not be Merc only daily or weekly quests
According to HSReplay winrate of Quest Mage currently is 60+% for most refined lists. Also this deck is, along with Quest Warlock, the most toxic deck in current meta.
Absurd mana cheating? - Check
Solitaire gameplay? - Check
Zero minion interactivity? - Check
Next to no other counterplay than aggro it down? - Check
Freeze mechanics? - Check
Draws AND plays 15 cards in one turn? - Check
Kills from hand with no board in single turn? - Check
“Choose an enemy to take double damage this turn. Deal 4 damage to them
Actually I bought the preorder Diablo pack and the first legendary I opened was Diablo. Feels awful.
There was a $5 offer for legendary (500 coins worth)
It is nice to have a free skins
Basically they can play him but the duplicate prot3ction does not work in that case
Everyone eceives Gromash for free, so he just got a new portrait for a merc he owns instead of a new merc
Same here for Diablo and Lich King. Feels bad.
In ranked my quests progressed (Nozdormu and weekly 50 Hero powers)
One more comment - I found watching Mercenaries streams very boring, unlike the traditional Hearthstone which I enjoy a lot.
How do you like Merc streams?

The aim of this bundle is introduce the payment to players. Who pays once, even a small amouňt, is more inclined pay again
This is the target, to kill the quest.

BTW, I encounter it every 3-4 games.
It is sad but a daily quest saying "Survive until turn 10" would be very hard to finish. I do not like UiS and especially quest made.
Suggestion to nerf the gambit - this would apply to all 3 stages
