Also, Mercs won't carry your shit anymore. Get used to it.
You don't even at least give a good reason for it.  You're basically just saying, you changed it "just cus i wanted to", not "*insert gameplay balance that comes from this change*".

So is it like...  the ultimate troll on leader chars or smth? :D

I've already said.

If you can't imagine how a self interested person wouldn't carry stuff round for someone he owes nothing to then you'll just have to accept it without understanding the rationale.

For game play reasons, it is to differentiate the mercs from the other two groups even more. If you want people to mule for you, get slaves, if you want people to fight get mercs.

If he's so self-interested...  then he should be interested in getting a pay-check at the end of the day...  And if that means carrying some stuff I'm pretty sure no matter how self-interested you are you'll carry some shit.

Even Tony Montana did a couple shit jobs before he became a drug lord. ;)

I really don't know how to reply to this.  except, "Why do you want to differentiate them more"?   Mercs are trained killers (well... not all of them exactly) who now await their next pay-checks, walk to hell and back to fight for their leader if the money's good, and yet they're apparently too good to carry some stuff?

Slaves are jet-addicted brain-washed junkies, who you can either use for general menial labor, sell-off to the highest bidder, or sic them on some ass holes giving them the hope for another dose of they succeed.

There was already a huge difference between mercs and slaves.  Do you ever see gangs using slave mobs to attack their enemies?  No.  you see some loner cheap-o's using it.  and it rarely turns out good unless it's just grenade spam.


And zubrowka.  Stfu and gtfo hm?   Quit trying to suck Developer Balls will ye?  Opportunist.

This is correct, except for them being willing to walk to hell and back for their leader. Those would be companions.

Mercs will stick around if you have caps, if you don't they'll get paid by someone else.

You use your mercs to guard the slaves and the slaves to carry your stuff.

There's only so many ways I can repeat the same thing ;)

we are old enough dude and we just want the mercs to carry our stuff cause companions are 2 hard and rare to get and i got good natured trait and i cant own any slaves

i am 28yo since u are so curious about our age

and leave this threat we dont need ur provoking comments i just wanted to know if mercs will change or stay like this i found out and i silence now no need to add anything else here end of story go to another thread and call kids the ones that "ragequit because they die'' and not us for demanding something that was rightfully ours so far and just because someone had a smart idea it changed like this in 1 day without asking anyone.

Surf is someone other than me ;)

look at me, dumb as a microwave. I knew that, ofc., i just forgot. However, you seem to be the same pain, maybe its true what they say about gms; that you take bitternes with the job.

anyways,

we get it aint happening. you dont want it like that and thats - kind of - ok. whats less ok are the semi-rp excuses. we are getting into semantics here and that wont solve shit. the truth is a merc irl would carry whatever you want him to. you, on the other hand, dont want them to because of the powergathering. its patching up a leaking dam with a poststamp, but you know. you are devs. go ahead and knock yourselves out ;)

and zubrowka, you are a certified idiot now, gtfo and go play outside, you are not making anymore sense on the internets. those forums have its own level, making a post just for cheap insults is plain retarded here.
