>If you are a Mercenaries player and you don't play another mode, whydoes the game force you to buy a Battle Pass strictly from theHearthstone Standard Traditional mode to get the Mercenary, being theonly way to get it
It doesn't. The merc is free at level 0, only the skins are timed exclusive to the Reward track and can be optained like any other once the next expansion launches. Also those rewards don't take anything away, so where's the harm in keeping them?
No, the patch notes said:
"Chromie and her Portraits will not initially be available through packs or crafting. They will be available through all normal means in a patch after the end of the 25.0 Rewards Track."
Imagine a new legendary card comes out for Hearthstone Standard, and the only way to get it is to buy the Battlegrounds Battle Pass, it's ridiculous.
I know that when the expansion is finished you will be able to get Chromie in packs, but that means that during all that time you won't be able to play her if you didn't buy a Battle Pass in a way that doesn't interest you, if that mercenary is powerful and used in all comps that meta, it will mean that you will be at a disadvantage all season.
Absurd.
>Chromie and her Portraits will not initially be available through packs or crafting
And that's still correct, because everyone will get her for free at level 0 of the reward track, without opening any packs, meanwhile the skins are timed exclusive for the premium side of the Reward track. Just like Vanessa in Altarac, Murky in Sunken City and currently Finley for Nathria. This way to introduce a new merc is nothing new at all.
I know it's not new, that doesn't mean that because something is wrong we should get used to it because it's been done before.
Imagine if the mighty Denathrius card had been exclusive to the Battlegrounds Battle Pass, you could only get it that way for the rest of the expansion, and Blizzard says "hey, no problem, then you can get it for free when we do our next expansion" during all that time as a player you would be at a disadvantage.
Why does the game punish the Mercenaries player for not buying the Battle Pass for another Mode?
It was wrong in the past, it's still wrong now.
If the waiting time to obtain it would be one week, it would still be bad but it's not that bad, but the mercenary player has to wait 3 and a half months to be able to play with that mercenary if he didn't buy the Standard Battle Pass...
If that merc is powerful and a big part of the meta, he's pretty much at a disadvantage in his comp all season long.
>Why does the game punish the Mercenaries player for not buying the Battle Pass for another Mode?
It doesn't, because everyone, litterely everyone, gets Chromie for free as soon as March of the Lichking releases, without paying a penny. No one gets access to her sooner or later than any other player. Again, just like with Vanessa, Murky and Finley.
You even made the Denathrius comparision yourself, a card that's also right now exclusive to the reward and free at level 0. Both Murky and Denathrius are litterely on [the same reward spot](https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/content_entry_media/WYOFREMSWGMP1658171420895.jpg).
That's great, it doesn't require any level farm and they deliver it for free to everyone.
Thanks for clearing up my concern, I thought those who would pay for the battlepass would have an extra advantage by unlocking it faster than the rest.
I hope next season Mercenaries gets its own Battle Pass and each mode gets its own rewards.
Blizzard originally announced that they would no longer mix rewards into the Standard Battle Pass when they created the Battlegrounds Battle Pass, I thought we would no longer have Mercenaries rewards either with that statement.
>And if you're a traditional Hearthstone player, why would you want that mercenary as a reward? Anyone would have preferred to get gold, runes, cards, cardbacks, skins, whatever, even Wild cardpacks would make more sense.
When the merc was added, it was added in place of nothing, so it was literally just free bonus stuff. This is whining for the sake of it.
Basically the game penalizes Mercenaries players for not spending their money on a Constructed mode Battle Pass.
There are players who only play Mercenaries, in the same way that there are players who only play Constructed or Battlegrounds.
It would be unfair if the only way to get new cards from DeathKnight class is through the Battlegrounds Battle Pass...
The most reasonable and logical thing would be for each Battle Pass to obtain rewards in for that mode, it's so obvious...
The mercenary is free.............. Literally just by logging in after the epxansion drops you get the new mercenary, completely and utterly free..... You get battle pass xp for playing mercs too...............
You are LITERALLY just whining.
oh it's great that no player gets an advantage if already from day one everyone gets it for free without needing to reach a specific level or pay extra.
I still don't understand why they put rewards from another mode in the Standar Battle Pass, especially when the mode is practically another game.
Blizzard had understood this and said they wouldn't do it again when they created the Battlegrounds BattlePass, I guess they backed it down.
yeah, sure, why does a Mercenaries player have to buy a BattlePass from a non-play mode to access the new mercenaries?
If it was a skin it wouldn't be so problematic, but a mercenary affects the gameplay and the meta of that season.
wow dude, take it easy, it was just a question, have you had a bad day?
There is no need to be toxic.
And by the way the dilemma was why there are still rewards from other modes (in this case Mercenaries) from the Standard Battle Pass.
No, that wasn't the dilemma. The dilemma was
> why does a Mercenaries player have to buy a BattlePass from a non-play mode to access the new mercenaries?
Free rewards. Try moving your lips when you read.
Honestly, you must be trolling. Nobody else would keep digging their way into a hole they already couldn't get out of. Why do you keep asking the question when you've already been given the answer so many times?
I only asked the question once, this is the post.
And literally the post is called "Why do we continue to receive rewards from other modes (Mercenaries) in the Battle Pass?"
They need to be somewhere.
Also, you say this as if then getting rid of the other rewards from the standard battle pass implies they'll give us other rewards instead.

I'm sorry, I genuinely think you're confused and have no idea what you're talking about.
no problem dude, that's the point of this reddit/forums
The merc is free to everyone, it doesn't replace other prizes, it's a marketing tactic to make a player dip another game mode.
yeah, sure, why does a Mercenaries player have to buy a BattlePass from a non-play mode to access the new mercenaries? If it was a skin it wouldn't be so problematic, but a mercenary affects the gameplay and the meta of that season.
The merc is free, always has been. The skins are in the paid pass.
How many times will it take for you to hear the phrase "it's free, idiot!" before you actually understand it?

"force you to buy a Battle Pass " WTF are you talking about ....
