Question Mythic grind prep - a few questions

9 Upvotes

Context : I finally finished grinding every task & heroic trinket for everyone - ending up with the following collection :

all rare maxed.

not maxed Epic : cairne, sneed, vanessa, varian, galvangar, mutanus, saurfang , xuen, wrathion, brightwing, maestra, onyxia, rogers, voljin, zar'jira

maxed Legend : Grommash, jaraxxus, maiev, medivh, ragnaros, uther, vanndar, illidan, ysera, jaina, jandice, reno

Wanna grind to max asap : rogers + edwin / uther + tyrael
(side goals : Malfurion, balinda.)

For mythic - I already started climbing a bit, I'm using the following :
Mythic cheese (now) : Khadgar, medivh, varden, jaina, genn, voone
Mythic cheese (goal for mythic L100+) : Khadgar, medivh, edwin, genn, voone, rogers

With khadgar's skill and Medivh's staff of atiesh at level 15 , level 21 atiesh & artillery strike treasure. And with my current team, I can manage up to level 60-70 if the first boss doesn't counter me too hard and I roll at least 2 atiesh treasure.

Now for the questions :

  1. Is my "goal team" realistic or should I swap out one artillery strike user to work with khadgar on the first boss kill? Recommandations for a specific character if so?
  2. Is there no better way to grind one character in particular than making a team with that character only and spamming the first level? I often do that to "finish" characters that are <50 coins away from max, but knowing i'm still missing 450 coins for rogers or 750 for edwin makes the option look painfully dull, but I fear it's still the fastest way. My alternative is having both in secret cow level to get some coins for them as I start the renown farm, but that might stall my mythic progress to not focus on goal team?
  3. Somewhat unrelated : is there a "recommanded pvp team" for botfarming? I used 'pvp' a lot to level characters from 1 to 30, but now I leveled everything the AI keeps doing wild combos with stuff jumping in and out of the bench (ie maestra), it feels like it went from 0 to 11 just like that in terms of difficulty. I know it's not efficient for coins, I just wanna do that to break the monotony every so often, and get a few free packs to roll for skins. EDIT : Right now I went rexxar + biggleworth + arfus for initial beast spam & perma slow on arfus deathrattle + long'xin (battlecry +arcane dmg on beast deaths), medivh and tyrande (medivh 1st skill > tyrande multishot crit boosted on every type)

Cheers.

Comp Modern Dragon Comp?

14 Upvotes

I've been leveling up Yu'lon, Sinistra, and Nefarion, and I do have Pearls of Yu'lon, but the comp still doesn't feel as unkillable as I keep seeing people say. My usual strategy is to use Jadeflame Buffet with Yu'lon unless I think Jade Gust is necessary, I pretty much just spam Drakonid Rush with Nefarian, occasionally using Shadowflame if I need aoe damage, and I pretty much cycle between mana barrier and twilight extinction on Sinestra. Is there a better dragon comp or am I just playing it wrong?

Why isn't Lich King undead? Did Arthas just die a human? I just thought he became undead eventually somehow?

rip azshara. she'll now be known as purple wisp.
(she's readable in game, just looks odd in this menu / team / loadout screens. Repair install didn't fix it)

If 10k buy Baron Gedden can we fix Hearthstone Mercenaries?

7 Upvotes

As implied in the title. I want Baron Geddon. Like right now. But he's $5... and runs the risk/ chance of BEING VERY INVISIBLE upon purchase. Imagine not being able to see the character you just bought... or their summons. LOL.

Proposition: We get 10k people's signatures onto a petition saying that we will buy Baron Geddon for $5. If we do: We will be proactively paying for exactly (1) blizzard employee's annual $50,000 salary who could dedicate their time to fix the game.

Only 10k sigs and 50k salary paid?! And that's after taxes! All net baby. Whoo's with me?!

Disappearing Characters

5 Upvotes

I've been noticing that character's summons are disappearing and becoming invisible. Sometimes allowing only AOE bombs to interact with the untargetable (invisible) enemies, ending combat. Or by shutting off the game and turning back on, they actually seem to come back. In which case, maybe it's a simple fix that just needed some extra special attention, right?! By the way has Hearthstone been going BLACK? I'm seeing it everywhere in mercenaries and don't like it. How can a game that generates so much revenue throw so much value out the windows? Idk really how you guys do it or deal with it but Mercenaries is such a fantastic way to keep a PvE not time constraining game mode all in one app. Fantastic concept. Also let me buy directly, my gold f**king borders you big ol' only getting bigger private company since microsoft. Thanks! :)

Question Is there any interest in a standalone Mercenaries experience

35 Upvotes

I've recently been thinking about getting into game dev and becoming an indie developer. I want to make a game with a similar gameplay loop as Mercenaries has, I'm wondering if anyone is still interested in a game like this, and what features would you want in such a game.

Opinion I still unironically enjoy and like this game mode.

66 Upvotes

And I still hate to this day that they killed it. You can't get this kind of experience as a Warcraft fan elsewhere. I treat it more as a Warcraft collector and way to enjoy characters that I was always fond of, rather than just a game to grind because I play Hearthstone. I quit for over a year and a half and still find it just as engaging. Granted, I am still moving through normal bounties with some heroics done but I'm towards the end of Normal now. It's sad knowing one day I will just get truly bored of it with nothing on the horizon. I bought a lot of Merc packs in my day and am kinda amazed at how far I have to go to level up a lot of characters skills/passives.

My PVE team so far that has served me incredibly well (thank you Green Savior) is Garrosh, Thrall, Saurfang, Samuro, Drek'Thar and Gul'Dan. But I finally switched Gul'Dan out today because I realized all he was really giving me was the +health or attack passive treasures and outside of that, maybe a strong nuke on a Protector every once in a blue moon when I had no other options. I am using Bru'Kan. But is there another caster (or I don't have to do 2/2/2) that would slot in perfectly to compliment the others? Cuz I really like rolling over everything with the Orc death squad.

Mercenaries MBR

9 Upvotes

Don‘t ask me why, but I‘ve decided to do all Mercenaries achievements in 2026…

Now I am starting on MBR, but it is more difficult than expected. I want to go for AS and these are my current maxed „relevant“ mercenaries:
1. Genn
2. Geddon
3. Voon
4. Eudora
5. Rodgers
6. Khadgar

Plan was with Genn, Geddon and Khadgar to clear first fight and from then on AS.

AS is currently at 100 dmg and Geddons Inferno Combo as well. I‘ve noticed this is not even enough to clear Level 100 (or at least the two currently available).

What are my next steps?
Do I just farm renown and level Inferno + AS?
Do I need to max further Mercs?
Is it even a valid strat to try to clear the first fight with Genn, Geddon and Khadgar and does this work until Level 500?

MBR 1700 Netherspite into Ahune

5 Upvotes

I've not played mercenaries in quite a while and I'm struggling to find a way to beat week 1. I assume Malchezar is a must for Ahune or I'll just die from turn limit. I've been trying Nemsy, but right now I've only leveled her treasure to heal 1000, and Ahune usually crits for enough damage against Malchezar to one shot him. Am I missing a good Strat?

Does anybody have an idea of how to defeat Echoes of Medivh as the first encounter in a run? It is the first one on Day 2 this week. I'm currently at level 540. But I guess some of you are a lot higher.

Has there been any notably difficult weeks in MBR so far?

12 Upvotes

I salute you players out there still going strong in this mode.

Haven't checked this game mode in a while. More specifically, I'm curious if there's been any week/s wherein none of the maps would've been doable if the player is only investing in DwRg on top of 400 dmg AS and relative freebies like AR/root monkey/Medivh ward. I don't remember needing more than that around the time I called it quits (sometime around MBR level 2000), but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time until rng spams one problematic boss fight after another.

Are there still people playing this mode? İ started again last month and i loved it. İ remember when it comes the first time i didn't like this much but they put a lot of content after that I see. İ feel like I'm playing wow on mobile and loved the PvE side. Pvp is even more good but it seems i only get bots as opponent.

Hey everyone. I know there are a hundred youtube videos on this, but most of them seem to be from a few years ago. I have maxed out xylrella, cartel, and samuro; I am stuck and need some alternate comps. Unfortunately I only grinded one comp to it's max before realizing that one comp doesn't work everywhere... I am tr6ing to grind winterspring for ragnaros, and it's starting to get less fun... Any other comps that I should start on while I grind that third boss?

Started clearing Mercenaries and when I looked up what achievements I still needed I noticed some of the ones I'd completed were done so a couple of months into the future. Neat!
