The point of merc groups...?


(TheStrangerous) #1

Recons - They spot stuff like wild animal predators.
Phantom can’t spot… BUT I CAN GO INVISIBLE CREEP MODE!

Medics - They AIDs others with health and revive.
Guardian can’t AID… BUT SHE CAN STILL REVIVE WITH THE POWER GLOVE!

Fire Support - They harvest gun fruits and share with others.
Javelin can’t harvest and share… BUT THEY GROW ON HER, GRAB A BITE OF JAVELIN!

With each new merc coming out, I feel merc groups are goin’ extinct…

In every merc group there always be one wildcard though, I suppose

Now I worry the next 5th Assault and 5th Engineer will be a wildcard…
And after that: THE JACK OF ALL TRADES MERC!

Watch Scrubby become the 5th assault.

Engineers - They quickly REPAIR, PLANT and DEFUSE
Proxy can’t REPAIR, PLANT or DEFUSE… BUT SHE CAN STILL DELIVERS PIZZAS!

Never noticed the consistency in all this. Good find, @TheStrangerous.

Never understood why Proxy wasn’t made Italian…

It isn’t that Proxy can’t, but rather that most of the one’s playing her these days won’t; partially due to having the situational awareness of a vegetable, not to mention an inability to not tunnel-vision and try to play like an Assault Merc. Kind of reminds me of something I posted in the DB Memes post a long time ago:

! Here we see the garden variety Proxy player, in her natural habitat… she’s still being completely f***ing useless, as always.

TO TOPIC

Devs are doing “HYBRID” mercenaries, so 40% of this + 40% of that + 20% something new = Phantom, Javelin,Guardian,Hunter(?)

OFFTOPIC
After you play a little as engi you learn that if you want to plant you have to kill,if you want to defuse you have to kill,if you want to repair then you have to kill .
As Proxy main (about 150+hours with her) I don’t try to do my engi job unless I kill my enemies or they are dead.
Why I have to go to repair/defuse/plant if all my teammates just stay behind and hiding(cod players and stuff) from enemies. When they can just be like Rambo and buy me some sec, but nah they care so much about k/d rates that they don’t give a shit about the game. Let them hide,die from explosives spam and then trash talk the engi in chat.
Sometimes I kill alone 3-4 enemies ( full hp not just the finish shoot) but when I try to do my engi job I’m being killed by the only enemy alive because no one of teammates cover me.They are looking just at your back or they are trying to be an engi(while they are not).
I better buy some time by flanking so I let others to do the engi stuff and if all of enemies are dead then I can relax by doing some repair or defuse

However! Sparks most of time just keeps the heals for herself,aura most of time uses the heal station in wrong places,phoenix…well thx for tap heal, the nigga… you have to find him because most of time he is the Rambo!
To all medics,thx for tap ress with 30 hp.
Same for other classes
Ammo? Nah only noobs spam their ammo for a little xp, pros don’t give a shit.
Assault ? I do a better job with Proxy
Vassili/Aimee? 95% of them are on standby and waiting for enemies on scope
Redeye ? Smoke annoying party!

IS NOT THE CLASS IS THE PERSON WHO USES IT

Then “The Jack Off All Mercs” would have 1/5 of each 5 “groupsese’s” power.
Repair/defuse just as fast as that augment.
Revive just as fast as that augment for medics.
Have generic AR, Burst and Semi as primary.
Have generic semi, pistol, automatic as secondary.
Have generic small, medium and long melee.
Main ability being the ammo/med belt combo.

I’m certain they’ll add a merc like that.

“Average at everything, good at nothing”. Yep, sums up education perfectly! :smiley:

Why are you worrying? Jack of all trades is scrubby and we’ve been waiting for him for ohhh sooo long.

I’ve never realized just how similar that song sounds to certain Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time themes and a certain battle song from Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced… Man.

Cause Scrubby is a REAL BEAST deep within, only needed to be triggered.
Making him Jack of All trades would be a wasted potential…

I like Guardian. It ruins players who have a k/d obsession >:)

I want to disagree with you, because being a jack of all trades is exactly the kind of power Scrubby NEEDS. Could you imagine an invisible crossbow guy that throws mini grenades AND has innate infinite ammo? Yeah, that’s right. Jack of all trades in THIS game will be AMAZING.

he will only have infinite ammo as long as he doesnt spend all 30 bullets from his 1st mag.

he can revive people only 5 times per match

he can repair with half empty blowtorch which only fast for half of the objective meter

his grenade ability does 30 damage

his passive ability is to spot enemies at range 5 meter

this merc gonna be the revolutionary joke merc done right
