Will we ever get more than one merc?

CoLD MeTaL · 10-30-2012, 09:54 AM

1 other would go a long way.

Do you mean having 2 active at the same time?

Or do you mean having 2 banked to choose from?

I don't think you'll get 2 active at the same time, but if thats what you want, you can box another toon and that box can have a merc that assists you.

I would like the ability to bank more of them, I RARELY use them, and I find in the rare case I might want to pop one, I end up not having the class I'd want in my window.

id like to be able to have 2 banked to use. like a dps and heals for different situations.

Having a banked one would be great, so I could switch off of my elite for a bit without the fear of never getting it back.

I know EQ1 allows you to have banked mercs, it was offered as an account-wide feature on the Marketplace and well worth the investment (iirc you can have up to 5 banked).

In time I can see a sc element allowing you to either bank mercs, upgrade mercs, and/or allowing the use of multiple ones.

Multiple ones would be cool like Guild Wars 1 had . . .as long as they stayed with you and didn't run out on their own and grab things (like the Heros in Guild Wars 1 do!). I find though that I can pretty much take on anything with the one I have. I use mine constantly on my Troub and Warlock. Don't really need one on my Monk but I use him anyway just to have the company!

I could see having one banked & one active, but I'm mystified as to why anyone would need more than one active. Isn't that what other players are for?

Or are we implying that there aren't enough other players, & so rather than find a different game with a healthy player base, we'll keep turning this one into ever more of a single-player thing?

that happened a long time ago, I box a half group and the other half are mercs, prior to mercs with was a balacend 3 classes that worked together. if I grouped I only group with friends never a pickup group

I would like to have 23 following me at the same time. Would be the best raid ever.
