Which merc will be released next?

[quote=“Szakalot;12171”]If he isn’t buffed since last time that’s gonna be one damn disappointment.

Bushwhacker was a beast back in Fall where his turret had very decent DPS. People learned good spot to put it, and learned how to counter it. It also goes down with one knife-hit.

Too much whine at Bushwhacker spam and he got debuffed to a point of uselesness. Huge cooldown, very little potential in the turret. If that doesnt change, I don’t expect much difference in people’s mercs of choices; Proxy >>> Bush[/quote]

and Aura’s healing station takes at least 2 or 3, damn I hope they made the turret much better.

If memory serves it did not used to have a “360 degree” traverse for shooting at people. It said so in the video so perhaps that is the buff you are seeking @skakalot

[quote=“Amerika;11204”][quote=“Szakalot;11036”][quote=“Amerika;11026”]I seriously seriously seriously hope Nader isn’t in the same dumb condition she was in before the game went live on Steam. 6 spammed grenades plus the ability to run in and suicide on somebody made the game so spammy and almost unplayable for me. If she is still the way she was this game will soon go from a skill based shooter to 1/3 to 1/2 teams being naders getting random kills like it was before the Steam launch.

Hopefully she only has two nades like Fragger and they don’t instantly explode if they hit you. Make her good for flushing people out of hidey holes but not something you can spam and get kills with by suiciding.[/quote]

Since steam she had decreased nade RoF, and max 5 nades. I never understood the complaint regarding martyrdom, you should never be close to nader anyways do to her nading your face with ease.

I’d expect the max nades to be brought down to 4 or sth after even more people complain.

Atm. I’d welcome her back into the game with open arms to bash all those Auras and Proxies[/quote]

I have a friend who is rather terrible at the game who streams and he made a drinking game out of getting random nade kills while also rushing their spawn to die in front of somebody and instantly suicide. Hopefully the suicide mechanic has a very long arming time like Proxy’s mines now. It promotes bad or bored players to rush and try and get suicide kills with the nades + martyrdom and it takes away from a game that is currently more about aim than spam.

I don’t want TF2 demoman. I hate the demoman and it’s mostly what made me stop playing that game outside of playing with some friends. This game doesn’t need a super low skill cap instant kill character in the roster. I was hoping we’d go 6-12 months before she was introduced honestly and I was hoping her nades would basically be a longer range version of Fragger’s and only have 2.[/quote]

I can pretty much do this with Proxy’s mines. Just rush a horde of players and run/jump around like a maniac while planting mines on the floor and by the time they finish killing me the mines are armed and I get quads.

I absolutely HATED this until I realized this is the best strategy to still be an effective slayer while tipsy.

Every new game has it’s crutch skill/item that allow no-skilled players to get kills. In CoD it’s noobtubes and death streaks, in BLR it’s tomahawks, prox mines and HE nades etc. Its something to allow newer players to keep from being discouraged. Sadly the fact is that there are more casual players than competitive players and that’s where the money is.

but he’s another shotgun merc, and you know how all the peeps are crying already bout them
so I’d still go with Bushwhacker or Nader[/quote]

People are crying more about the shotgun/light merc classes. If Fragger/Skyhammer had a shotgun I’d have no problem with that

i liked when we had 16+mercs a few months ago. yeah i liked that more…

(charmingMist) #47

I liked the video. I only ever played with the 7 mercs that are in the current beta and it did a really good job of introducing that character’s abilities and playstyle.

(adeto) #48

Liked it, but that first screen (with the stat bars) his face looks way red-ish, almost drunk faced xD

(Eox) #49

Yes ! We really need one for each mercs currently available. That would be awesome. :slight_smile:

(Szakalot) #50

It did. Once ‘locked on target’ the turret would track you until losing line of sight. So no change there.

(appreciativeBuster) #51

Yeah video was great :slight_smile:

(DarkBBlack) #52

Yeah,the video explain correctly the new merc !

PS:The new merc looks like my father xD

(Ashog) #53

Then bring your father in so he could play as himself!
