Regarding weapons, mercs, and future loadout cards

(Bestfinlandball) #21

If mercs don’t get access to other weapons the only thing new cards are going ro bring to the table are more cards with cool, pineapple juggler and big ears. So basically nothing to look forwards to

Why does everyone keep saying that. If they came up with some new perks, that would make cards interesting.

I don’t know…if they wont get access to any new guns will they get access to any new perks?

All I know is I would of liked a MK46 Fragger…which isn’t a to much to ask…if that isn’t possible, I’m already kinda sad.

Short of maybe some better augments with weapons I like, I’m just not very excited right now.

I believe @Amerika said a few times in Phantom debates that eventually everyone will have a katana according to Devs. So it seems obvious to me that new cards will be when that takes place. I’d expect new load outs.

Perhaps it is only the primary weapons they don’t want to change in the new cards.

Why? I dunno. But I don’t see why.

I’m pretty sure they already confirmed new perks as a possibility.

This game does need more guns though, to be honest. So if they aren’t going to add new guns to even the new loadout cards when they arrive, I guess our only hope for new weapons is on any future mercs that come out?

if there were new perks that are actually more useful than the old ones, nobody would want the old ones anymore. they don’t want to balance the old cards but they’ll have to eventually.

Otherwise we’ll have an even greater pool of bad cards that makes it even harder to fish out that one loadout that everyone wants.
I know this sounds dramatic, but imagine a year from now saying “how easy it used to be to get that good loadout back when there were only 9 different ones”. Doesn’t this sound terrifyingly true?

I would like more augments. Both adding new ones and removing some of the useless ones.

(SaulWolfden) #28

Rather pointless to have new loadout cards, but no new weapons for that particular merc, I select my cards based primarily on the weapons they have, unless of course this means there’s a GSR, M9, and Kukri loadout for Redeye, I won’t care.

(Haki) #29

I hereby challenge the people involved to not create a single new loadout card that has the Stiletto with chopper ! it’s pointless and you lose one augment slot which is sad, even more so since the stiletto had its nice clicky sound removed.

Why are they adding new cards…

9 is already plenty, what other niche sub mercs can they cover?

(triteCherry) #31

My guess is to cover up the mess they did with the old cards.

Personally I would like to see several merc specific augments for every merc, like Spark’s with her Quick Charge (but not how her card loadouts are designed, never. Never ever.).

(ImSploosh) #32

Probably off-topic, but I want Phantom to have a fully-auto or semi-auto silenced shotgun.

Ya know, like the Spas from MW2. :smiley:

More things to sell. More things for people to collect. More variety and choice in loadouts. I don’t know why they wouldn’t come out with more if they aren’t going to ditch the system.

If the new cards aren’t gonna have different already-existing weapons, they better have new weapons.
