What happened to the Merc bios?


(R5on11c) #1

I just recently noticed that the lovely bios of the mercenaries have been cropped down to a short explaination of the mercs nature. what happened? did i miss something?

Imo the bios were a lot better and gave the mercs a personality instead of just being a pile of abilties…

Excellent question, I always enjoy reading a character bio.

Some of them were pretty bad, I think Arty had a terrible one. But yea, some bios would be kool.

New lore? (god i hope not)
Kira didn’t have a Bio either when she came out, so i’m guessing they have something planed.

I have the bad feeling they cut the bio for a short explaintory to make it easier for the new players to understand the role of a certain merc… which is a terrible idea since this game is catering to people with higher competitive interest and those tend to know rather quickly what a merc does…

it also sounds like they wanted to simplify things for new players: this is a merc, this is what htey do.

Don’t really get why it would follow that you have to remove the bios. Maybe just a UI tweak?

The bio or “Full Profile” is the first thing you look up in order to learn about the merc.
I have no idea why they did this but i personally dislike the change.

People do not understand long sentences.
Sentences must be short.
Simple words are good.
Text is stupid.
Pictures are good.
Numbers are stupid.
Bars are good.

Seriously, you get rewarded for pressing the trigger. Or moving next to someone. You get rewards for almost anything. We need rewards for sprinting. Or even moving. That would nerf Vassili!
Please help me. I can’t stop.
