another idea!


(BananaSlug) #1

ok now you can have 3 mercs in game but whay if you could be able to take 4 ? one merc from every class, you know assault, fire support, medic and engeneer.
so for example i would take skyhammer, sparks, fragger and bushwacker

what you think about this?

i hope everyone understand me (because my eanglish sucks, but i am working on it :stuck_out_tongue: )

why :c

Sadly this has been talked about before and from what I last heard, the devs have no plans to increase the amount of mercs you can take in… :c

Personally - I agree, and would like it too. I am fed up with feeling ā€œforcedā€ to take in 1 medic and 1 engineer (leaving only 1 spot for a merc I actually want) because no one seems to play them… 4 mercs I think would allow people to still take a couple of non-essential mercs, and allow more room for experimentation in squads - which could lead to more people bringing along medics and engineers.

We can always dream >.<

I should probably add - I’ll ask the devs again next week for you on the dev stream, to see if they will reconsider. ^.^ <3

I never really run into this problem. Phoenix, Fragger and Fletcher are all i’ll ever need <3

I think we already heard that idea somewhere.

Three is fine. You’re not supposed to be able to bring whatever you want with you : you have to make your choice to cover different situations, following the map and which side of the map you are. Some sacrifices will be made, you’ll choose to not play some kind of mercs to bring something else to your team. It’s part of the strategy.

The reason why it’s 3 is to give people options but also make them meaningful choices. It’s the same reason why you simply don’t have access to all of your unlocked mercs. There is supposed to be some choice that has pros for what you want to do but isn’t always the 100% best answer. It’s similar to how the loadout cards are designed as well in regards to having people make meaningful choices.

And yeah, this has been brought up a number of times and answered by SD. Obviously, it’s debatable whether you should have access to more/less/all mercs as everyone will want something different. Personally I’m totally OK with the 3.
