They have enough trouble balancing the game and weeding out bugs without dragging philosophy into it, thank you very much.

When the launch bundles came out, I mentioned how they seemed like a much better deal than the pre-orders, and I got downvoted into oblivion. Nice to know Blizzard agrees with me even if no one else does.

Not in the "guaranteed" slot, it isn't. It is possible you got those skins in addition to the merc in the guaranteed slot, but not instead of it.

Did you read the flowchart, or are you just certain you …

good thing i didn't open the 5 packs for beating executus and ragnaros, i just hope to get at least the 2 rares instead of alternative portraits

Please review the flowchart that …

People were wondering how long before Mercs would get stale if Blizzard didn't regularly add new content.

So of course when Blizzard does add new content well before the mode even starts to get stale, someone has to find …

I agree that it does open up a way to easily grief your opponent by denying them rewards. I hope they come up with a better plan.

we can see the pattern here, right?

If you're implying the whole "greed" argument, think about what this actually does. A huge chunk of the Mercenaries revenue stream is supposed to be …

It's not about the MMR; it's about the reward chests.

If people are actually trading wins, both players can get HUGE numbers of coins in a very short time.

That would still be better than the actively bad communication we've been getting lately.

Literally everyone, including Blizzard, would be better off if they chose to play it that way.

I don't understand why you'd think double the price feels bad. In packs, the drop rate of legendaries is like a quarter that of epics, isn't it?

If you don't want to pay, Blizzard doesn't need to care about making the game less grindy for you. That's the harsh reality.

Nice, really looking forward to those particular Mercs QOLs they mentioned.

Notice that my comment was posted before launch. I haven't actually used Morgl at all.

I'm sure the Mercs offers were in the works long before they even knew about the bugs. Are you really suggesting that the offers -- which are created by an entirely different team that has nothing to do with the …

The gacha starts...

Mercenaries: $5 for a guaranteed Legendary

Genshin Impact (for example): $450 to guarantee a 5-star character.

Lumping these two games into the same category is kind of …

It's pretty straightforward, really. If you need a merc, buy the merc. If you don't need a merc but want some coins, buy the coins.

Why would you even consider doing the opposite?

Frosty found this on reddit, it might give you an idea how the pack openings actually works and why you sometimes get just coins: https://old.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/q9wde9/mercenaries_pack_opening_flow_chart_by_ridiculous/

That flowchart is spot-on. The game really …

Why does my Modes button keep lighting up with green fire?

"Arcane Humans" (D1STR0Y3R) is a weird name for a party with only one Human and only one Arcane user. Actually, I can't even tell how that team is supposed to work. (I'm guessing it didn't.)
