A while back, we had a very active thread about the state of Mercenaries.  I thought it had received good reception by the cows, but apparently like everything else, this has gotten shelved in favor of the app.... Well, maybe this should be revisited sooner than later.  The older mercs seriously need to level up.  The merc pool for higher level mercs is very slim, guys.  Won't you help these poor unemployed mercenaries like Frogling Brave?  They can't feed their families if they can't find work.  We might possibly need more new mercs for EoC jobs, but these older mercs have earned better stats, don't you think?

The mercs are definitely in need of an overhaul .. Personally, I no longer use 'em at all, but I still appreciate that some of them (OK, most of 'em) are woefully under-powered.

 

Some of the very early mercs in the game should be retired on their pensions now, not having to try and eke out a living with their +1 spoon of stirring's....


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

you never could use them to take relics.....  they were only intended for PvE endeavors.  But even for a new player, a level 35 merc is no longer viable

You know, I'm serious about this needing to be looked into, so I won't debate it to be trolled.  You kids discuss it, I'll wait to see what the Bovine Gods have to say.

Alternatively, if we can use our stam to cast stat improving buffs on mercenaries, that would be great. Currently we have encouraging talk composing skill in a pot learnt at level 48 which does the wonderful +0.2% per point increase in mercenary stats while active. But I agree that all the improved base stats on the mercenaries are generally welcome by community.

Mercs are something I'll look at eventually. At the moment, I'm working on Quangos.
