" Oh I know the definition of Fomo no worries buddy :) There would be for sure some level of fomo if they add mercs to the core game, but make it harder to come by mercs instead of having them just in each and every single map. Along with a obvious GGG nerf treatment of making good mercs rare as hell, while the undesired mercs spawn 99% of the time. If people have to grind really hard to get their sweet sweet free piece of power creep it's not hard to foresee that the usual complainer crowd and individuals feel left out for not getting their BiS merc right away in a couple of maps, while others do have their BiS merc due to either rng luck, or simply cause they are able to run maps quicker and more efficient. It's as simple as that with this community. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid#4643 on Sep 10, 2025, 3:27:08 AM

There is zero chance mercs stay in without huge nerfs. I am not sure if I want a watered out merc system. It is too hard to keep them at a state where they don't become completely mandatory or just end up dying vs every rare monster. It is a cool concept but a nightmare to balance.

Bump for mercs to go core!

(Didnt read the whole thread.)
My opinion: Friendly Merceneries make the game more fun and potentially (depending on the Merc) fix some of the things I dont like. Unfortunately however I also see alot of issues which should be fixed, like: 1) Power creep. 2) Dont like the way hostile Mercenaries work. Neither does the random gear make fluff-sense nor is it for normal player possible to determine threat level of Merc. 3) Merc AI is bad. In some cases its really dysfunctional. This could easily be improved a lot by making an "aggressive" setting (ignore player and do your job instead of nothing) and allowing the player to disable individual Merc skills. Also: Mercenaries would be more fun if they could level up. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

Power creep being bad...
Well, lets remove corruption, mageblood, aegis aurora, cluster jewels, uniques that do not give larger hindrance than power, influences and implicits. Lets hardcap Life at 4000, energyshield at 7000 and armour and evasion at 20'000, and spell suppression at 50% chance, block at 60% without any source of "is lucky". Lets remove crafting, beastcrafting, harvest, lets remove all the different charges and make the entire game Ruthless. Also ascendancies are a loooot of powercreep. Come again, why is power creep bad in game that is not PVP oriented? And it is not an esport either. And give each skill non-shared cooldown of hard 1 second or more. To force people to use more than one skill. Just give every skill hexblast treatment. Last edited by Aeon42#2688 on Sep 12, 2025, 4:43:05 PM

"Ofc it's not esport. So we should hire up to 5 mercs, not just one. So 5 auras, 5x more dmg. Also every merc should give you 30 skillpoints and 100% more quant, because why not? Power creep is good! Then it will be a really interesting game, unlike what we have now. Last edited by felix0808#2550 on Sep 13, 2025, 3:09:37 AM
