Can you allow us to change mercs in lobby, please?

Certain mercs are bad at certain maps. It would be much helpful if we could adjust our picks to the map that is going to be next. I usually end up with either three most versatile mercs which makes the other mercs heavily underplayed or I end up with two useful mercs because the third slot is wasted for a merc that doesn’t contribute in that particular map.

In Wolfenstein we were allowed to use 5 different classes, so restricting us to 3 is already punishing. But I would be okay with that IF we could choose those three mercs in lobby. At this moment, if I want to keep Kira she is useless in half of the available maps, so I have either two options: play with two mercs or completely disregard Kira and pick someone else who is more versatile.

You can change mercs in the lobby…

Woooooooooooooot? going to hide in his hole

Let’s pretend this topic never happened, okay? ^-^’’

Somehow I was convinced that we can’t… :X

Haha! Yeah, all you need to do is click on one of the three mercs you have selected which then brings up the merc selection screen and then the loadout selection :slight_smile:

It can depend on the lobby. Usually you get to pick, sometimes you won’t have enough time to choose. I’ve joined lobby’s just as the map is about to load.

Other times you might get a chance to pick as the warmup is happening. Just do it quick as you still need to wait for the loadouts to sync.

Yeah, I usually join matches that already started, so that is why I thought we can’t choose mercs. It would be cool if SD allowed us to have 4 slots. It would be sweet to have eng/med/support + soldier/counter-merc on your disposal :slight_smile:

No worries if you post something which is already included in the game.
A forum is there to clear up misconceptions and to help people.

By the way, I believe we’ll get another slot or two once more mercs are released.

Just a question to all of you…

Do you lag like HELL when you are typing or changing mercs whilst in lobby? I lag to hell with over 250fps in lobby… It takes 20 seconds to change a merc in lobby (for me) and most of the time i endup not able to change it …

Does not happen in normal menu or main menu, only in round lobby

Yeah I get horrible menu lag despite it saying 350fps.

(ThatRandomGuy) #10

Do you lag everywhere or just in match lobby?

(Ghosthree3) #11

Lobby is worst, main menu isn’t exactly smooth though.

I think this is partly to do with the game communicating with a server for your account details. Your merc roster is not local afaik - part of the reason I want to see squads so we can swap out all three at once instead of racing against a laggy system.

Menu is ok, i feel lag when that circle thing comes up (refreshing account , sign in etc) and lobby …its like playing with 10fps…
