EXPANSION MYSTERY: Mercenary
|
There will be no more new exiles. The passive tree is complete. However, GGG is free to expand upon our pets, maybe take a page or 2 from TL2 and let them mule some of our loot and auto sell for us. Maybe do more than just follow us around such as distract the mobs like a totem does. If we could get a few of the mob to chase after our pet instead of us, that would be super cool and helpful.

" I wouldn't say the tree is "complete". It can and almost certainly WILL continue to change for as long as the game is still going. New exiles might be unlikely at this point, but there's no reason why they can't add more later if they want to. As for pets, I wouldn't mind them having some useful functions, but if they do that, they would have to offer at least one free pet to avoid having them be pay2win. Maybe this could be done as one of the quest rewards when they add act 4. | |

We already have Animate Guardian which functions kind of like a mercenary.

in what world is Animate Guardian anywhere near being a merc? oO
a merc is someone you hire, pay, equip, who has his own set of sklls/passives and who stays with you all the time not something soulless you need to recast every five seconds .... i hope we do get mercs and i hope they are for soloplay only group play is far too strong at the moment and merc would be something to enhance soloplay | |
" Pay? With what? We got no gold just orbs. or would a merc cost 100 ex? 10 ex to revive? Animate guardian can be equipped with whatever you want it to use. I dont want mercs to make people use the mercs to beat the game instead of their own skills. |

Charms would be cool but have a separate spot only for charms.no other items can go in there. Stl dint this happening.

" so why not pay them with orbs? 1 chaos orb to hire a merc, let them roll random with random properties and now you have another orb sink " and that makes them mercs? as i pointed out for me mercs have various characteristics and animate guardian is nowhere near them " mercs shouldn't be mandatory to beat the game, but they could be a nice addition for people who wanna optimize/micromanage even more things then now Last edited by BeRse on Jul 27, 2014, 8:54:32 AM

" I've said it before, introducing charms may be a good idea - IF they go in the flask slot - forcing you to make a choice: temporarily bonuses via flasks, or constant bonuses via charms. Charms HAVE to have a smaller impact on the game than flasks for this to work. As to mercs: I love mercs. But for mercs to be useful, they have to be pretty good. But making them too good, is very dangerous. The balance is hard. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
