I really wonder if this commercial was concepted almost a year ago. They did originally think Mercenaries was going to launch way before it actually did. It was last year's overview lol.
Did you watch the Esports event and not receive packs at any point? I saw something in passing about that being an issue potentially and it was being looked into.
Oh yes please! Its such a great price point, you can put anything there that's even the tiniest bit of a deal and it'll get swooped up. I'm so surprised they don't use it alongside a regular expansion launch.
[MERCS/PARTY] Fixed guide variable so guides will appear on detail pages [MERCS/PARTY] Added merc crop images to party detail pages [MERCS] Added Crop Images for Mercenaries to API and Party Builder [MERCS/PARTY] Added portrait images to party listing [MERCS] Added portrait images to homepage widget [MERCS/PARTY] Delete button now references Party instead of Deck as intended [MERCS/BBCODE] Added mercimg mercenaryimg [MERCS] Fixed issue with role filtering icons being vertical [MERCS/PARTY] Added listing filters for contains, guide, added in patch [MERCS] Added Merc and MercImg to TinyMCE
When you look at the expansion that came out before it, Whispers of the Old Gods, and then the one after, Journey to Un'Goro, yeah, Gadgetzan was relatively low power. It was an incredibly iconic set though (Jade Archetypes, Kazakus, Solia, Patches...) and it'll be very interesting if Classic Hearthstone ever makes it back to the era.
There's a bunch that would go into a major change like that. Without talking too much about a couple of upcoming plans though, Mercenaries, at least to start, is going to be getting a bit more of a "in your face" aspect on the site. The goal is to also do the same with Battlegrounds, though only once we commit to producing more regular content for it.
If I was playing Mercs and then went to bed or was logging off for the day, I'd 100% have Mercenaries hanging out in the Training Hall. No reason to not gain free progress on them!
I am too. Almost the entire team at Second Dinner has card game backgrounds which makes me believe it has to be in that genre. My expectations is that they're going to do something wild to shake things up since it is realistically the only way they're going to break into the market. Using Marvel IP certainly helps push things along, but if your card game doesn't bring new and exciting stuff to the table, it might be dead on arrival.
Ben Brode is running his own company and is no longer at Blizzard. Most of the high-profile leaves from the Hearthstone team over the past few years are no longer with the company.
Blizzard has devs move off games to work on new projects all the time. Sometimes they don't make it out of a concept phase though.
Yeah, not a big fan of only giving people a bundle that they think we'll buy. If they only want us to be able to buy one of the three, they should figure out how to do that in the store since this seems to be a common thing that they do now.

At least Guacboi was half the run time, so it didn't feel like it was dragging on.
Blizzard really sucks at making commercials for Hearthstone.
This will be a thing, we just need some time to get it working across the site =)

Its a requirement so that you can craft mercenary characters instead of only opening them in packs.

Whoa, that's an interesting client error. Thanks, I'll get those fixed since it looks like a relaunch fixed it.
As stated in the article :P

Yeah this must be a case of the video was made so far in advance.
Are you certain your accounts are connected properly? If they look like they are, I'd disconnect and reconnect them if you haven't tried that.
Haha!

This might happen in the future but there are no immediate plans to do so.

I've never given Raid SL any attention, so that's not a comparison I was able to make.
I like to believe Pokemon Daycare is something more people would identify with, and it makes for a hell of a headline to boot!

Ben said on Twitter earlier this year that they were hoping to make some kind of an announcement in the next 12-ish months, so 7-ish months to go! https://outof.cards/second-dinner/3062-ben-brodes-second-dinner-is-hoping-to-announce-their-new-game-in-the-next-12-ish-months
Unable to replicate on my end - the layering appears to be correct with the menu for account stuff having a higher z-index than the nav bar.
Is your Chrome browser up to date? I'm on Chrome 93 FWIW.
