I'm curious as to what the merc progression is supposed to be.<br /> <br />We have our "regular" mercs - available to all via cities.<br />We have "special" mercs - LoN, SOE Live, vet reward, etc.<br />We have "ethereal" mercs - drops in zones.<br />We have "rare" mercs - from multiple expacs.<br /> <br />Is it intended that the merc "obtainment" type sets their over power level or is it the expac that they're released in or what?<br /> <br />If i were to compare same class:<br />- Basic merc<br />- SOE Live merc<br />- 10yr vet merc<br />- Ethereal merc<br />- original Rare merc<br />- AoM rare merc<br /> <br />How is their power supposed to stack up?<br /> <br />I guess what i'm saying is: as we get more and more mercs added to the game and they're all same level, I think it would help to have some kind of flag denoting their power. Like maybe solo/heroic/epic merc or ^ / ^^ / ^^^ merc or Legendary / Fabled / Mythical merc. Or something. I'm a game veteran and i've no clue which to choose, I can't imagine that a new player will know the difference.<br /> <br />(This is about basic power - how much dps it does, how well it tanks, etc. Obviously different ones may have different useful abilities, which is easy enough to tell.)
