It generates battlecry minions.

I honestly still don't get why people think that OW2 is just an expansion. New heroes/maps, new Visuals, new Story, big engine upgrades, a bunch of pvp reworks (5v5, role passives, tanks into bruisers, complete hero reworks like Bastion, light …

I have no Idea how long the patch notes are going to be with so much confirmed content.

It's also worth noting that the new mercs are teased to be Dragon related.

All of that on top of the already confirmed mercs content (new Mercenaries, Traininggrounds V1 and a new pve Zone)? This might very well be the biggest non-expansion / non-new-mode update to this day.

The first BG board also has this feature.

I'd say this is more likely part of a upcoming Lunar New Year Bundle. Iksar mentioned that they are saving the Pandarian Theme for when they eventually release a Monk class and (in a different Q&A) that they are currently …

There actually is a two parted documentary about the DH creation (1 | 2). Some of the Heropowers they tried include:

Oh boy, I can't wait for the Darkmoon Mini-set.

What you are expecting or what you are hoping for? They did already tease Dragon mercs btw.

Maybe something like Ascension levels in other games. Something Like:

Tier 1: Enemies have more health

Tier 2: Enemies have more health and attack

Tier 3: Enemies have more health and attack and elite encounters are more …

it isn't all that much work to get characters to level 30 by sticking them on the bench for a few days while you complete dailies

You underestimate how long it can …

Are there players still playing the gamemode?

Definetely, I'm hitting a consistent 30s que time. It may not sound like a lot, but you have to consider that the vast majority of …

Seems incredbly unlikely considering that AV launched just a month ago. You have to keep in mind that the Races mini-set launched in January, because Darkmoon was released a month earlier than usual.

.2 are usually the big mid-expansion updates. I wonder wether it's for BG, Mercs or maybe even Duels.

I mean you can kinda target farm them with bounties, but it still takes quite a lot of time to farm a …

Nerfs are already in the game :)

 

In order to see it, just exit HS, then wait until Battle Net hopefully updates it automatically for you and you are good to go!

…

you are acting as if this is the last change they are making to the mode. Keep in mind that it will have a similar update cycle to Battlegrounds, so you can expect 1 big patch that focuses on Mercenaries …

[quote from="Author"]Also this is basicly a pointless nerf i.m.o. because the battlecry is why you play it. Even as a 1/1 minion Alliance Bannerman will still see play.[/quote]

It indeed won't have a big impact, but it's not zero. …

The difference is that it's much easier to hit the middleground with nerfs than with buffs since they have more data about overpowered than underpowered cards. It's generally also easier to overshoot balance changes and the worst case of "destroying …
