Mercenaries of Trarthus Statistics

Warpriest of the Ruckus might as well not exist if it has only spawned once the entire league, don't you think? That's just not fun.

Also if you're just going to delete the mercenaries at the end of the league, like you do with most content these days, I'm incredibly less likey to spend weeks farming a very rare thing that will just get deleted by you.

You can fix this in so many ways.

If you said right now "Mercenaries will be moved to standard after the league ends but will remain as cosmetic statues in your hideout until such time we may or may not bring them back as a core mechanic", this would even encourage me to log in.. but I know you'll just delete them so there's no point.

Rip those people exiling the mageblood.

+Upvote for more merc slots, or merc slots per character. 3 is a bit "eh". Even just upgrading to 5 slots would make me experiment more with mercs.
Wer nichts weiß, muss alles glauben.
I'm one of the person that lost to Defiance of Destiny. That guy was no killable, even with Cull :(
Infamous Warpriest of the Ruckus, what does he even do and why is he so rare?

No HH, MB, Mirror, or anything of value more than a single Div. Sad.
Missed the most beautiful stat: how many of these were killed by servers, by rollbacks. With entire instances and maps.

I would argue that the fact that such a large proportion of the mercenaries highlighted were skipped, consistently, across both low and high level mercenaries, is a symptom of a failed implementation of this otherwise cool mechanic.

The fact that you are penalized for even looking at a mercenary (by losing Renown) motivates some players to simply not check them, even if Renown is a relatively minor mechanic.

The lethality of Mercenaries in the early days has also stained many players' perspective of them; after all, why even bother looking at a mercenary if it is highly likely to win the duel against you. The nerfs to mercs has helped somewhat with this, but it's still not worth risking death in many cases.


So much this. Making such a bad pun on top just really puts me off on GGG lately. The fact that so many people are just not even clicking them to check rewards shows how bad they are as a league mechanic. Even if they are a cool utility for characters.
Ah, the mighty Vendigo :v
