7 available mercs?

(contentBusiness) #1

So my question is why there is only 7 mercs to choose from?
Last time the beta was up it were much more mercs available.

Yeah, I’d like to see more variety too.

Wondering too why the rest of them aren’t available.

I read somewhere that there was a lot of mercs available before, but they choose to remove them all but seven in order to have a “balanced base” to begin with, which is not a bad idea if you want my opinion.

Other mercs will surely make a come-back, but they’ll first try to make the game with our “magnificent seven” as balanced as possible.

What this guy said, it’s written in the closed beta notes; check the Announcements section of the forums for more detail.

Feels more like 5 mercs though. There are 2 mercs with the same archetype (Skyhammer and Arty, Aura and Sawbonez), an Assault (Fragger), Sniper (Vassili), and a Miner/Sapper (Proxy).

Well to bad if they took away all of the other mercs cuz i really enjoyed playing some of them ! I haven’t really see anything that explains why they took them or if its just temporary for some fixes? Maybe those who are out is balanced enough and not the others?

Thanks for all the answears! If you hear anything please post a new comment :slight_smile:
