Title: Slave/Merc upgrade
Post by: kraskish on October 08, 2010, 10:42:13 pm
Ive just played a bit with a slaver char and I found some areas slaves/mercs could be improved... here it goes:

1. New command Slave/Merc (ALT):

Why? At least my slave didnt make any better use of AR... and sometimes Im too lazy to right click :p


2. New commands in the behaviour menu (via dialogue):

They could be in a different menu not to confuse them with other (NPC, wastelander etc menu). Could be very useful in auto mode.


3. XP gained by slaves goes to you

Why? Slaves are so underpowered. They can't level up so they would at least have some benefit, apart from being free and dying a lot. Its much harder to kill with slaves (lesser skills) so why not

I agree with the xp thing, maybe split 50/50 since follower do lvl. I've been leveling a cha char with no combat skills and it takes forever, im on week 1.5 and hes only lvl 9.

As for the first point, Ghosthack says that an option for "burst only/single-shot only" mode will probably be implemented in the future, if I remember correctly.

Yep, new commands would be nice too, Michaelh139 already made a topic about that.

And slaves should get XP, be able to level up (it's a bug that they can't), and they should level up at 2-3x speed, since they are much weaker than mercs.

It seems like they need the same amount of xp as players, the only person crazy enough to get followers to lvl 21 was vedaras and it took him more than a week of grinding. That's a huge amount of time for something you can lose in the blink of an eye.

Wow! I cant wait that happen! Thumbs up!

oh, I thought its a feature of slaves, lol =D Yeah, the faster leveling would be nice, steadily they would get stronger and stronger

I'm pretty sure some slaves do still level up, granted i haven't used them for a few days but im quite sure that trappers still do at least.

Commands - why not? Especially the looting command seems cool - a slaves' work indeed
sharing xp - no, it is too easy to lvl get 21 anyway.

Besides pure crafters leaders are the hardest build in FOnline to lvl up.

Except thieves...  but who cares about them anyways? :P

Add WAY more new commands like, "only shoot if enemy has weapon drawn", or "Don't attack unless I say so".

Gonna try this straight away!

Yeah so I said xp share because I thought that it was a feature that they dont level up, but when its a bug, and leveling should be possible, its even better :P Im just curious about the rate of it though :/
