It's funny because they just nerfed the heroic barrens mysterious stranger farm because people were farming tasks too efficiently.

@@NegimaSensei ok wow thx… i did at least 20 runs today

This post aged like an amalgam of feces into solid gold. That makes 0 sense yet is entirely accurate.

that's truly why Kripparian posted this video, he's already made his own farm.

Ok blizzard employee

Yeah Mr. Employee

@@simonenc4065 I wish. 90k a year as a software engineer is way better than what I make :( Anyway, I specifically meant people were hating Kripps mercenaries video content. There's plenty to criticize with the game mode itself. I like it sure but it feels totally unfinished.

@@simonenc4065 Ok Runeterra employee

@@nondescriptname Those are dumb kids that can't even comprehend someone might have a different taste than them. Anyone who disagrees with them surely MUST work at Blizzard lol

The thing with ARPGs where you farm to farm, is that most of the time that farming feels good, as the combat itself is generally smooth and satisfying, so although you rinse & repeat over and over again, you always get a kick out of it. A card battler as an ARPG lacks that feeling completely, and what's more it breaks any kind of flow by the jumping between menus, loading screens and battles. Hell even the battle itself lacks any kind of smooth combat flow, as you're always intereupted by title screens and irrelevant animations.

@@Plankton_GS44 you're both completely right and it sucks how stunted Mercenaries feels.

​@@DamnCyrus I see where you are coming from and I partially agree. But on the other hand, I really believe that the PvP has very high potential and low entry-barrier which is great news for free-to-play players out there. and adding additional content to the non-PvP is definitely going to happen down the line. + it wouldn't be really hard to introduce some clash of clans type of mode, where you create a set of defensive teams on your map... and other players can try to "raid you" even when you are offline for example. In that way you would actually be able to use your "secondary heroes" and put them to good use for e.g. defense of your mercenaries village. I was initially in the camp of "let's sabotage this stupid game mode which they ruined standard hearthstone for"... and now I am actually hooked and I'm starting to love it. Yes the PvE content is basically not interesting to watch and the PvP doesn't have any helpful card text, so it's very easy to be confused as an observer while having no idea what's going on or who is winning. Hearthstone itself is one of the best games for that matter. Even someone who didn't know anything about card games, saw hearthstone being played. They would have some basic understanding of who is doing well in a particular match. But this doesn't mean that the mode is doomed to be unsuccessful. It just needs to be financed by other sources. Meta analytical videos and investigating different compositions is going to be very hot youtube content.

Every last part of that doesn't sound interesting at all.

just add more content?@@KnownAsKenji

5 per run? fuk that would take forever to get 100. 20 runs. jeez.

Literally grinded all the legends doing this and now I have nothing (;-;)

@@georgesonofgeorge3771 but how did you get them at the first place?

you can also do the quest run with that legendary while the quest slot is full. When u got mysterious visitor and your slot is full, it gives 15 tokens regardless if its rare or legendary. its quite fast for legendary token farming

@@StRanGerManY I think Kripparrian video is suggesting you get a lot of free packs with this strategy and you may just passive pickup a leggo on the way

did it like 20 times and 0 quest, sad

You do the level 7 instead

you have to be a douche

@@yuyuhacucho1 and you have to be a clueless downer. How am I a douche for using a running joke?

Yup pretty useful if u finish a task 2 and u get an equipment

Wish I had read this comment before wasting time and gold expanding to heroic

Same here!

they patched it, you dont get Mysterious strangers on stages that have much lover level than your team that often anymore. really sucks.

@@lyuris277 ya, im pretty sad I only got 2 days of it, but at least I got something

Do these strategies still work?

The framing longer bounties for specific coins still works and is recommended unless you already maxed 2/3 mercs in the bounty. Mysterious Stanger was removed as you can automatically do any task you want and so the retiring for coins isn't worth it anymore.

Nope they nerfed it hard in a 'hotfix', yesterday at the end of the workday. You have to do missions with recommended level close to your highest level mercenary now in order to get any reasonable chance of getting the Mysterious Stranger.

@@sanca4284 damn but thanks for the answer, didn't read anything about it in the patchnotes

@@sanca4284 one more question, it's the level of the strongest unit in the team that matters right? Not of your whole collection

@@klodd5328 pretty sure it is just the team, but I haven't tested, I don't exactly have good heroes to clear maps not at level 30, and they wouldn't be able to farm one map for long.

I wish i could speed mercenaries up by that.

there is a more specific change hidden in the forums, the chances of mysterious strangers goes way down if you have any heroes higher level than the recommended level for the bounty.

truueeeeeee! why do I have to hover my opponents to know what they do? WTF, they forgot they are a card game.

average blizzard game

oh, they actually did... :( I'm really tempted to quit Mercs now :( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndCmnJBjupfKhqs.html

You and everyone else. They hot patched a self destruction of the game. Progression takes over 500% longer now and they act like they did us a favor…

True

:')

you dont, its just that banehollow has card text saying 'immune to shadow, takes holy dmg x2'

Rtfc

Since you watched, he already did, duh.

@@Willowisp927 Just a dumb response really

He literally said in one of his videos that he'd upload 1 bg video and 1 merc video per day for like a week. Suck it up
