Mysterious Stranger Change (Worst nerf in history)

@Boreas-1179

was below 2000 at the time and im at 3000 now
and i didnt get to play a single game until i was at 3000

currently on 8000 was thinking to climb to 10.000 or drop down to 1000.
bot match up seem to give more value.

Only one line of code ruined “three years’ work” Merc mode, good job Blizzard. Now both PVP and PVE are totally ruined.

We are adjusting the appearance rate of Mysterious Stangers to be based on the relative level of the strongest Mercenary in your party compared to the suggested level of the Bounty. This move is to encourage people towards more engaging gameplay instead of repeatedly taking on low-level Heroic Bounties with highly over-leveled Parties.

To clarify: Play how we want you to, not how you want to.

Did 12 potential mysterious strangers interactions yesterday, 5 of them were in Blackrock Mountain, the others were various levels of Heroic from level 15 to 25.

Only received 1 task in my 12 interactions.

I noticed too my mysterious stranger rate seemed very low.

I just decided to stop the game. I was having fun completing tasks, now i’m just endlessly retiring runs. I’ve never felt so much frustration in a game before, even in mobile games that are clearly pay to win.

And Dev/Community manager just pretend to dead until now.

Actually, they troll around on Twitter all the time. They won’t reply to anything serious though. It feels like some of their employees do a lot of tweeting while “under the influence” of something (i.e. drunk). That, or maybe they are told to not to reply to certain questions?

shrugs

I can see the results of their presence on these forums as well, but they don’t actually participate in them or seem to delve into any of the content within.

But, they did add a bunch of new stuff in the shop to try and sell us.

All in USD

$10 for 300 coins for Jaina
$25 for Lich King and 20xMerc pack
$30 for 2xRandom Legendary and 30xMerc pack
$3 for Epic Coin Purse (3x200 coins for random Epic Mercs)

What a joke, I am wondering the shareholders are so okay with these trolls?

[KariusVega-1479]

It’s kind of surprising this was hot fixed while there are still other obvious bugs and things yet to be updated at all.

I’m also wondering, how does it make me want to buy coins or packs when all I am after now is tasks? It just seems to be a totally self defeating principle. Now I’m playing less and not paying at all.

So it would appear the new fastest way to get tasks is to farm the Heroic Level 29 Felwood Lord Banehollow bounty. Retire the bounty until you have a 2 fights path to the mystery stranger and repeat. Such AMAZING engaging gameplay blizzard, thank you!

^this.

Just like I said in another thread at the Bug Reports Forum → The current spawn rate of Mysterious Stranger is utter garbage!

[Shakou-2789]

we don’t need it anymore, you get ALL the tasks for 4 mercs every day = you should have everything completed by now
