Not to mention that basing it off your highest char is just stupid. At least take the average party member level instead.

Blizzard makes it realy hard to praise them …Everytime they take a step foward it doesnt take long to take 2 backwards.
Make no mistake for anyone starting now this is huge (even more if you are F2P) the time it will take you to catch up to someone like me that moved on to pvp will be massive.
I have all the mercs i want maxed out in tasks but in the future if i ever want to make a new type of team its going to be a pain compared to before (that was already a big time sink).
No words, they said they will listen to the feedback from players this weekend about the change ,there needs to also be a change in high level bounties to reward players doing those…

Probably they were drunk and they put a random code in the game that night
The thing is, even if we buy packs we still need to farm task 7 on every character, which takes a pretty long time.

Yup, which is why I mentioned the task 7 item for the lynch pin to the shadow build. Ah man, I don’t have Malfurion’s Liferoot Staff.

the server is currently overloaded and crash often.
as i said in post above.
reducing a risk for server overload is also profit.
you need to consider other perspective of profit.
i seen enough “your game have been saved, relaunch hearthstone to continue”.
and hearthstone application crash out of nowhere.
p.s: i should have rephrase the profit part since it’s poorly chosen word.
Maybe this is more cause I am an Sadist of a sort… but I notice I get offer the Mysterious Stranger abit more often in most if not all heroic level 30 missions now, I’ve always pushed my character I been leveling to face the hardest stuff… and well I realize I had 3 of him back to back.
omg
how to play now in the new mode
it is bad news
More evidence of how clueless these developers are lmao. But of course bugs that have been around for over 5 years will never be fixed. But this is a quick fix, because their new pay to win garbage mode had an “issue”.

Welp, that’s just killed the mode for me as a F2P player. No one asked for the level 8 bounty to be nerfed, what people asked for was better end game rewards to incentivize doing them over the level 8 bounty. They’ve completely misunderstood what people were asking for here and are now just hoping this will make people spend more money. RIP Mercenaries.

I don’t think that’s the case, you seem to forget mysterious stranger was almost pulled every run.
Sure, there were sequences of bad luck but generally speaking I was getting him almost every run.
They never said they made him more common for higher level bounties, it’s probably just as common as before while being way less common in lower levels.
Blizzard didn’t fixe anything. It’s exactly the same but need to be done on a much higher level heroic run resulting doing the exact same stupid grin but much worse.
Blizzard lack of respect is amazing. Do like me buy nothing from blizzard and play the few mode you can and stop encouraging such a ugly and disrespectful compagny.
AAA price for a mode that fail big time and is now literally unplayable if you don’t spend tons of moneys.
A polite way for blizzard to say FU to the hearthstone players.
Devs are clueless idiots about their own games so much that they nerfed tasks to the ground and didn’t give anything new with those long grindy level 30 bounties. And those long grindy bounties almost always give crappy coins at the completion.
i’ve never seen so many outraged crybabies in one place… except in my daycare when 4 year olds get mad because they got the red cup instead of the blue cup.
it’s the end of the world.
poor baby 
This is one of the worst post I’ve ever seen on these forums.
They essentially made farming tasks 3 times longer if not more and you’re actually calling people crybabies for being upset ?
Like WHAT ?! Mercenaries is already a pretty grindy game mode, what do you think happens if you triple the grind ? You think people are going to be happy about it ? I can’t imagine someone genuinely not minding having to grind the same boring content for 200 hours instead of 50 hours.
You are a very confused individual for approving this change. You’re literally not gaining anything from this as a player, you’re just going to have to waste several hundreds more hours in order to max everything.
Imagine if you had to work 12 hours a day instead of 8 at your daily job while gaining the same amount of money daily and your manager told you ‘‘stop being a crybaby, you just have to work 4 more hours a day, it’s not the end of the world!’’

“Engaging gameplay” aka “engage with our shop more” 
Anyhow, I wasn’t abusing the Air Elemental strat as I preferred to farm coins for heroes that I’m still missing. Less efficient but much, much less mind-numbing.

actually I use to run into the Bomb or blue portal , or sometimes sabotage more in Heroic Springwater/Blackrock now it’s I seem to run into more Mysterious stramgers. the main reason I’ve done level 30 mission heroic , for farming exp on my character and some tokens for legendary character I don’t have… Now all my character are level 30, I just need to farm their tokens/character I don’t own tokens.
I can say before the nerf, I hardly ever saw him, now I’m seeing him way more often. Which might seem a surprise but I really don’t have many task on my character completed, most my character have just the level 30 and very few now have task 2 rewards.
So they might done something I personally think from never seeing him, to seeing him way more now today then I have sense release, means whatever they did to the code (if anything as some say they still run the level 8 heroic and still getting him) to make it more spread.

Did they nerf it already? I just tried 5 times the air elemental heroic and didn’t get a stranger
NO ONE CARES about your work week.
Everyone works.
We all have jobs.
people were abusing and exploiting a loophole in the game play and they fixed it.
and literally if you just do your freaking homework instead of whining on a message board… you would realize Level 28 Felwood (non heroic) - is even better farming because while it’s 3 deep instead of 2 you get way better coins and you get way more consistent stranger drop rates because of the higher level.
good lord.
The irony is that hearthstone on my 3 GB ram tablet lags harder than 3d games like osrs runescape that may be old, but is still technically a full 3d mmorpg played like 10-20 years ago that can easily run 60 fps on 1 gb ram to like the 4-10 fps i get playing a 2d hearthstone with static card art on a 3 gb tablet.
Many 3d games have wonderful performance or are optimized for phone use, hearthstone, despite having pc mechanics limited by phone simplicity (like lack of graveyard, or scrapping juggernaut and red mana for ui mechanics), has terrible performance on phone while that pokemon unite was Unironically much smoother running with full 3d graphics.
Indeed, almost any 3d game will run better on my 3 gb tablet than hearthstone. Even if hearthstone is 2d, a lot of it is actually technically coded 3d, like packs and the menu, and yet it lags horribly to the point that if you play bgs on mobile, the already bad lag or animation time that reduces your gameplay time on pc can sometimes just infrequently entirely skip your turn on a medium length bg whenever the animations are stuttering at 4-10 fps, even when the phone isn’t showing animations and just poofing into air
It’s not dreadmonging it’s just kinda pointing out what’s there for me, Hearthstone is a good ip, blizzard was/is still a (financially) successful company, but it’s just capitalizing and piggybacking off the work of the founders, not really making anything new innovative. It’s like Apple after steve jobs just continued to sell junk, but downgraded the specs but continued to sell 10$ android phones for 1000$. You’re basically buying a fashion label to have the blizzard/apple sticker on there, because they know we just buy the apple ips because even if another game might be technically better made. if it doesn’t have a already existing playerbase or popular ip it might die.
Meanwhile blizzard you know that even if the games aren’t that great, since it’s a big ip, even if the ip is lackluster it’ll probably be around in 5-10 years, and mainstream, even when it’s a zombie franchise. Just like Wow. So even if the game sucks, at least you know it’ll probably be forever around and not some game that was really fun and poof from lack of server funds in a year… But. That’s not… exactly a high bar i guess.
