If you hit 1000 hours in-game merc time with a merc...

(ImSploosh) #21

@Sorotia I have a similar spread on my mercs as well. Think I’m at like 120 with Kira, 90 or so with Vassili (used to play him tons in Execution, RIP), and then around 50-60 with Skyhammer and Redeye, and downhill from there. I haven’t consistently played Vassili or Skyhammer in 6 months-year lol.

But yeah, considering it’s been 1 year since I started playing Kira, it will take me about another 9 years to get 1000 hours on her if I stay at the current rate.

I’m sure some people are up there in hours for one merc. There’s a lot of “tryhards” who play just 1-3 mercs and essentially never anything else. I gotta applaud them for that, I don’t know how they do it and not get bored. I see these types of players occasionally, normally rocking Arty or Fragger for 5-6 games straight.

You’d lose money. On both of the friends…

Fragger? :wink:

I had a similar idea with “steel” series cards. After gaining 100 hours with a given merc you’d recieve an untradable card with that mercs standard weapons and specially selected augments to make it a really good loadout. These cards would not be usable in ranked

EDIT: the skin would be the default skin BTW

Still no, though Sploosh’s most played merc is on the money.

Some interesting ideas. Rewarding players for specifically playtime on a Merc isn’t something that’s really been discussed (afaik), however we have had discussions about other potential reward-ish systems. A lot of this is ideas that have been thrown around so there’s not really anything I can divulge I can call as an accurate plan for what we intend to do, but things similar to this do come up in conversations and are the types of feature we’d like to add to the game at some point.

I wasn’t, glad to have a dev response. Interesting to think this type of reward hasn’t really even been thought of. Anyway:

It’s good to see they at least want to add features like this. shrugs

Maybe you should get an achievement titled one of the foreign languages you could’ve learned fluently in 1000 hours.

@Xenithos “isn’t something that’s really been discussed (afaik)”. I would imagine it has been, but we would like to have a system a little more interesting rather than just ‘X’ hours = ‘Y’ reward.

I understood what you were saying in the first place, your words are and almost always have been very direct and measured.
