Welcome to the Deadmines! Stormwind's Mini-Set Releases on November 2 and Brings 35 New Cards to Hearthstone

Edwin as rogue legendary sure, but why would he want anything to do with the SI:7? More likely he'll usher in a return of pirate rogue, which has been weirdly absent for years.

We do need justice for Mathias …

All 16 Hearthstone Deadmines Common Cards Revealed + Deadmines Reveal Schedule Detailed

As much as I am on your side, I have to concede lots of people do like it. On the bright side, at least the Amulet cannot resurrect [card]Archmage Vargoth[/card]. That's some good news.

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #34 - Balance, Pandaren Ninjas, Mercenaries, Datamining, & More

Yeah, it always happens. Sadly it's not just confined to games either. Too often people, companies and countries chase profits and power at the expense of quality of life, which is surely the whole reason people would have wanted money …

United in Stormwind Mini Set Predictions - What Could Hearthstone's Next Cards Bring?

I'll stick to rogue like I normally do (I wonder why I even bother with the other classes sometimes):

  • For SI:7, I don't think it actually needs many more cards since the questline is balanced on the assumption …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #34 - Balance, Pandaren Ninjas, Mercenaries, Datamining, & More

At least Snowclaw is a level 30 bounty, so there is a modicum of actual gameplay there. Against Air Elemental you can switch off your brain to the point where it isn't even a game anymore; it's just a chore.

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #34 - Balance, Pandaren Ninjas, Mercenaries, Datamining, & More

Well there is certainly some misalignment somewhere, as evidenced by you not understanding why some people like the potato. Wherever the split of the playerbase exists, there IS a downside to cutting out the non-stranger events to pander to those …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #34 - Balance, Pandaren Ninjas, Mercenaries, Datamining, & More

As someone who is enjoying playing the Mercs PvE for what it is, I have to say I'm a little perplexed (though not entirely surprised) by people's need for an optimised grind for coins. I haven't touched PvP at all, …

Problem with pre-order duplicate protection
Quote From dapperdog

Pretty sure this is not how it works, or if it is it'll certainly never be confirmed. Because its so knee deep in shit that its impenetrable as an explanation. How can anyone aside …

Problem with pre-order duplicate protection
Quote From dapperdog

I heard a lot of talk about there being some kind of protection so you'll only ever get skins once you have all the mercs of that particular rarity, but I guess today I can …

Using Merc Coins

I plan to use coins to craft some legendaries, especially those I'm not super interested in since that makes it more likely to get the others in packs, when I'll have the spare coins to upgrade them. 

I'll probably …

Hearthstone Developer Insights - How Matchmaking Works in Mercenaries PVP Mode, The Fighting Pit

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but aren't there rewards based on how high the external rating is? If so, that's where the 'meaningful stakes' come in, and its comparable to ranked in traditional HS, where your rank and MMR can …

So what does everyone think?

I've been taking it pretty slow, having only got a couple of bounties into Felwood so far. I have been toying around with lots of different characters though, and not just focusing on 1 team, so I have been making …

Blizzard Details the 21.4 Patch Notes - Mercenaries Arrives Tomorrow, Spooky Season, Bug Fixes
Quote From Brandon

Also a Pirate skin for warrior has honestly been LONG overdue, considering Pirate Warriors history in hearthstone.

In fairness, pirate warrior's reputation grossly overstates how much of a presence the archetype has …

Even Duels had a pre-release event.

Right, and Duels is just PvP dungeon run with a tiny bit of constructed to it, so doesn't have any of the issues I said exist …

What about a PvP Event with fully developed Mercs? Or a kind of draft format: every player get's X Packs and has to form a team from it.

These can be done, …

The mode will be released tomorrow and there was no pre-release streamer event or similar. I'm used to be on the positive side for Mercenaries but for me that looks like Blizz is not very …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #32 - An Orc Named Smash Wreckem, Mass Nerfs, Most Rogue Wins, & More

Certainly there will always be dominant decks, and they will always garner complaints. That's why my interest is in ensuring a variety of game lengths, rather than decks themselves. When both short and long games are supported, people are realistically …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #32 - An Orc Named Smash Wreckem, Mass Nerfs, Most Rogue Wins, & More

Rumble gets a bad rap, but if you actually look back at it you'll see it did a lot more than nothing. Besides, I usually lean towards using 'worst' for expansions that were detrimental to my enjoyment rather than weakest. …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #32 - An Orc Named Smash Wreckem, Mass Nerfs, Most Rogue Wins, & More

The meta in the Year of the Raven was only boring because it was competing with the Year of the Mammoth (Un'Goro --> K&C). It would have had more significant effects if it was added to other sets of similar …

Runeterra's 2.17 Patch Adds Six Battle Academia Skins, a Stadium Board, and More Cosmetics

I concede many of them are exaggerations or fantasies, but that doesn't mean they don't exist in some capacity (even if it's intangible) or aren't relatable. Poppy's demonstrates it most clearly to me: kid gets bullied for being short - …
