Mercenaries has the fastest paywall in dungeon crawler history. When a company makes the money this one does you would THINK they would eventually have players in mind. another great concept ruined by greed. I have played Hearthstone since Beta. It just keeps getting worse. Stormwind is the first expansion I didn’t purchase and mercs is straight up PTW. Time to go

No I wouldn’t. I would think they made that money by exploiting the players for every penny they could.

I don’t get it. I don’t see how this has any more of a severe pay wall than any other. And Hearthstone is more accessible than ever.
I feel like people EXPECTED to have to pay lots of money to play this, so the second the game is like “you don’t get every single merc immediately and if you’re free to play have to grind a bit to earn them” it just gets read as some sort of money-making scam.

My problem with mercenaries is that it is yet another format that takes resources and development talent away from the original game.

Well it doesn’t, it’s a different development team.
And what do you want? More minisets? More patches? More sets? We’re pretty inundated with those already.

How about more thoughtful and balanced cards?
We seem to be pretty short on those.

TFW when you’re Activision Blizzard and you made 9,999,999$ selling preorders for a mode you spent 4$ developing laughing at people trying to refund.

I doubt that has anything to do with development time or that it’s something Mercenaries has taken away from Standard.
Or maybe it does but in the opposite way, maybe having to release 400 cards a year means they’re strapped for ideas. So maybe it’s more that they’re having to do too many releases a year.
I agree with this. The game is being swallowed by greed.

You’ve been playing a free to play game for 8 years… how do you think programmers have fed their families in that time?

you don’t know enough to talk about history on global scale,
this history you speak probably on the scale of your personal house.
i lost count on how many pay 2 win games out there where you can’t made a single progress by playing.
reminds me of knight of pen and papers 2, i could grinds 1 million gold for a long time and it’s worth nothing.
i am sure other people could bring example of worse pay 2 win dungeon crawling game.
i even doubt you play mercenaries mode.
Selling their cars to buy 1000-2000$ mtg decks and hearthstone gold cards for a single expansion cycle before it gets dumped to wild, i guess.
I feel genuinely terrible for anyone who bought one of the “diamond” mercs. Yikes! You got scammed.

Hearthstone is paywalled, it’s pay to win, pay to use the toilet, rigged gameplay, rigged card packs openings, rigged underwear, extremely buggy, unbalanced, unfun, uninteractive, undead, and that’s why I keep playing it every expansion.
That’s why I keep spending money on it, and continue making forum posts.

maybe you should play? try some pvp, you’ll face people with lvl 4 spells+items
you’re the troll who claimed that standard/wild aren’t p2w so…
you’re saying that devs on games which aren’t p2w can’t feed their families?
not finding the paywall is trolling?
the definition of trolling keeps changing

not finding it because you’re not playing
I haven’t really started playing PvP yet, I’m enjoy the PvE experience. But uh, catching up on ranking up your mercs skills is literally just a matter of time.
