And Surf, please unlock our faction thread, it's not our fault that people are trolling on our thread. Don't punish us for others, ban the flamers do not close our thread.
And the kid that rages and is insulting everybody is not actually right, this is not about the mutants, it doesn't matter what kind of mercs the players are using, due to the bug the computer freezes, so disable all mercs.

So, you believe all mercs should be disabled due to the trolling of a few? By that logic your thread should indeed be closed ::)
It would be better to simply make it a requirement that mercs be lvl'd up before they are truly useful (weak starting stats around the same as a normal player) Voila i doubt the merc trollers would really spend the 4-5 weeks to get a few mercs to a decent level to be able to troll with them.
Doctor Eex:
May be there is a simple anti-lag solution?
Tweak merc's AI in this way:
Disable merc's auto-fire when new target is arrived UNTILL THIS TARGET WILL DO ANYTHING. I mean mercs (even aggressive ones) don't shoot automatically UNLESS YOU SHOOT OR MOVE.
Attack via Alt menu should be still available.
If implemented, there will be no bug "freeze on load because I got damage from merc while loading"
Removing muties is not a fix of anything. O'k no muties - next time I'll buy rocket bitches. They can run, they'll do the job. I will care even less of losing them, as caps no longer my concern. If somebody has no loads of caps - combat slaves.
Mercs btw is adding some balance to game. What can I do alone against a group of 4-5 no-lifer kids with voice chat and everything?
Now I can smash them with 6 rockets at time. Disabling mercs ? Bad idea - remove features like this from game. TLA or Requiem don't have mercs. Why don't go there? ;)

Even now merc commander with 5 muties risked a lot - 85kx5 investment, at least 2 days of leveling up, ammo and guns to level up. And can be lost in 1 fight (especially TB encounter). 4-5 weeks? 21 lvl char require 1-4 days to get level cap. Bad, bad idea

They are not a few, I can't hunt more than 20-30 minutes without entering a merc trap. Most of our members are not using their TB alts anymore. And I agree with Doctor Eex, if disabeing mercs seems to rush at least disable auto-fire.

Mercs nice die in turn based from snipers =)

I have never dropped into any mercenary trap encounter ever last wipe, or this wipe. Hell i have only encounter maybe 2 people this whole era alone.
