Obligatory training montages.

For me.. Mercs as missunderstanding..
I would consider them only to protect gang/faction bases. But not to travel with them and hunt other players.
Each player has no chances in confrontation with merc leader +2 mercs ( i just want to say that lowering their number up to 2 max won't change situation) in real time combat mode.
It is simple calculation - 3 shots against one ( even if it would be critical hit in eyes + knock down + knock out). 3 rockets against 1 critical hit/ rocket/whatever you want - you just have no chances.
so this class is overpowered.
You can consider other situation: 6 normal players (armed in any available weapon and armor) vs 6 mercs leader (amred in any vailable weapon and armor)
so we have 6 guns against 18 - tell me know who will win in real time combat mode?
Conclusion is simple: make merc leader because this proffesion has no weak points and you can own any other char. Additionaly, make a gang formed only with merc leaders and you will own whole server.
DSEX:
Are Mercenary really that powerful??
Wht I can tell is in a fight with local militia at Gecko, I lost 3 rocket mutants in 10secs
All my mutants are at least 400hp :)

Yes. Amassing mercenaries can end fun and fair tc/skirmish fights in matter of seconds.
If bank interest hadn't given us so much money, there wouldn't be that much mercs but when there would they would bring fast and undeserved victories.
Badger:
Yeah I hope next season that cash isn't what decides the quality of your mercs. I've heard that some followers will be respawnable and level up after the Wipe, which makes me happy. I will also offer to personally rewrite all follower dialogue so they sound like this.
