Loadout enhancemets

(badband) #1

each merc has their stats for speed, health, armor and so forth. same for the weapons they use.
what if you could buff the stats a little? maybe make that smg able to over take skyhammer’s ar? or maybe have that sr able to do a 1 hit take down? or have thunder or rhino run as fast as skyhammer or aura?
i present to you loadout enhancement tokens!
the basic idea is that you can buy a loadout token case, open it and the case give you a random stat token that you will attach to your merc boosting the stat of that merc for a time.
what is to prevent me from buying hundreds and add all of them to one merc?
well they system is in 2 ways.

  1. you can only add 3 boosts to a merc at a time.
  2. you can only attach the boosts to a merc of the same rarity, you cant put a bronze boost on a lead merc.
    now you can trade boosts up for better boosts but the time of both boosts will not be added together, only the longer time will be used for the next one.
    you could also buy them for permanent use.

No. Overpowered as hell.

Why not make an aura with the life of rhino and an Sniperrifle that can onehit a rhino and rhinos minigun?

ok then what would make it more balanced?

i usually wouldn’t say this, but this is a BAD idea

(badband) #7

the original idea was to do something like the trinkets

and please explain what this was a bad idea, so that i could rewrite the idea
to make it better.

Nothing was ever good about this idea. If you can boost a merc’s stats, then the game becomes borderline P2W.

p2w…

ok so scrap the idea of stat boosting, what about extra little ability or extra exp or something to help with objectives- like the 6k exp in stopwatch mission
