New Merc Speculation(Master Thread)

[quote=“understandingKaleidoscope;73248”]That footage is from the closed beta

If you mean this video. That is no staff member playing him, it is someone who testet the ability, cause the gloves are from sawbonez

Seems like the more you charge it the more it heals.

I don’t know…the way his mechanics work…you need to be up and close with his healing wave? I can’t see many players going out of their way to heal other people when they can go for kills! >.<[/quote]

Well that goes for selfish players. Trust me there will be at least 1 guy risking his own life fighting his way through to rezz you no matter what. (And that would be me, but I need to get my steam account back first)

Me when I play Sawbonez. I oftenly regret that choice though : it’s frustrating to end killed to save that one guy that rushed the enemy team. :smiley:


(reciprocal) #143

Don’t Phoenix and Sawbonez remind you of Nick Riviera and Julius Hibbert? Is it just me?


(Faraleth) #144

@Eox This is why I play Sparks… c: Revive to full HP from a distance. Woohoo ^.^


(Lissxy) #145

I like your choice of song for this particular yet unknown celebration.


(Faraleth) #146

Lets keep our fingers crossed for a dual release of Stoker and Phoenix… that would be fun c:


(loonyTop) #147

Here’s a crazy idea: instead of releasing more mercs, try fixing the joke that is Nexon Security. Try fixing the way the game balances teams. Try fixing the bizarre hit box delay. Try fixing getting into spec mode. Try fixing the payment - oh wait, taking money is the thing that never seems to be bugged. I also notice you’re strangely absent from the bug reporting threads, Miss Murder, why is that?


(Sorotia) #148

I’m just going to hold my hopes for Stoker…I honestly not sure what to think…I just kinda hope it isn’t Phoenix…so many people don’t actually play a Medic as a Medic and more for just self heals.

I can see Phoenix being the poster child for Medics who go on the offensive and don’t heal others because of his self rez.

Plus it has been 3 months since got a new fire support merc…


(Eox) #149

I’m compensating it somewhat by using the BL71 loadout. This loadout focuses a lot on the player’s durability. Potent Pack fasten the health regen of my med packs, so it should work on me as well. Unshakeable allows me to survive some punishing explosive blows. Spares allow me to somewhat compensate those pesky selfish supports that does not share ammo. So I can use it to stay alive kinda efficiently. It’s the only Sawbonez loadout that features Unshakeable.

And also I use the BL33 loadout on Fletcher, so I need to master the Blishlok. If I can use the Blishlok as much as I can, it’s a good thing.

Because they know those bugs exist.
Because they are already working on that.
And because a lot of you guys won’t shut up about it.

Think the only one AFTER Aimee will be Javelin… XD haha. Stoker, Thunder and Turtle will definitely be before her. :3[/quote]

I can’t imagine that they would add Javelin simply because a Panzer (from wolf and wolf:ET) would be pretty ridiculous if it’s a traditional Panzer. Almost every server and league had the Panzer limited to one per side per server. However, in a game like DB you can’t ask somebody to pay money for a class and then not allow them to use the ability because somebody else already has it. Servers would quickly become instagib rocket-fests and it would lead to a bunch of salt.

At least that is my reasoning as to why Javelin or a Panzer-like character shouldn’t be added to the game which is, theoretically, why SD said they weren’t going to release Javelin.

Of course they could nerf the blast damage and radius down from what a traditional Panzer hit does (it’s a huge radius) and make it like a single souped up cooked Fragger grenade on a longer timer. And maybe give Javelin some other ability that makes them useful in-between CD’s.

Maybe have a cooldown of 2min and give here shotguns and pistols, Insta gib only on direct hit


(ttownjoe) #153

it’s pheonix here why, “the apple hint”… “now make sure you eat plenty of fruit!”"- Pheonix in game taunt. Now its possible they could release both i haven’t ruled that out.


(ttownjoe) #154

I know pheonix is in it, “now make sure you eat plenty of fruit!”, but i actually think its going to be both Pheonix and Stoker.


(Trestos) #155

It would be funny if Turtle makes his appearance and that Stoker & Phoenix Hype was to irritate us :smiley:


(tenderLab) #156

Thunder is one of the most tactical guys in dirty bomb. Stoker is tactical but his skill is to hard balance. Thunder will be perfect for rank games and btw those guys form dirty bomb like to do surprises.

Yeah, how dare we complain about something they won’t fix while they pour out new content, how dare we.

While I get your frustration and find it valid, they have begun doing rotations of fine-tuning patches and merc+new content patches. Last patch was a tuning patch, this upcoming patch is a new content patch, next patch is fine tuning again, etc. Fine tuning meaning bug fixes, balancing, so on and so forth. So they are prioritizing it, while still giving us new stuff. I find the split between fixes + new content to be pretty fair.


(Faraleth) #159

@loonyTop Another thing that makes your posts incredibly annoying is the fact that almost everything I’ve seen you complain about… is currently BEING worked on RIGHT NOW! :L

Literally, all you have to do is either search on the forums, or keep up to date with news posts. You don’t need to keep complaining about the same thing over-and-over when they already know it’s an issue and are working on it.


(Derpfestor) #160

23,000 credits to go until I can afford Phoenix when he comes out. I do hope he gets a Timik.
