Well as you may or may not have read, I am now running the show, which is looking quite violent and not for the kids. <g>
GM Raven has left the staff, personal reasons has stole her away and we hope to have her back at some stage in the 'not to far' future I hope. Not only was she a work collegue but is one of my best friends so this is why I decided to move and take over. Because I know what Mercenarys are up to and whats needed, I did the layout for your profession before and as we were also joint owners to Titan City it made a logical discission in my non-vulcan brain.
So after a day of reading and catching up on the finer details, I'm pleased to tell you that 'Bounty Hunting' is now in the works at top of the agenda. Of course, I will keep you posted as I'm a noisy bugger like that!

In a nutshell: Yes, but not a lot immediately. Here's the Merc update:
- The mercenary animal companion is essentially done except combat stuff.
- The bounty hunting system hasn't even been begun yet.
That said, Phoenix isn't a coder. Mercs need someone who can dedicate themselves to the profession before the systems can advance a lot. She's the Merc Guru tho, and has the vision for the profession.
I believe Mercs will be pretty solid from the get-go, however, based on their bonuses alone. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Ok, need some clarification on this Trevor. I see Mercenaries as a combat-orientated guild who are quite good offensively such as Barbarians/Fighters in other games. Then, I see Troopers as another combat-orientated guild who are better defensively such as Paladins in other games. Am I right in my thinking or do I not have a clue? :grins: I'd like to know if Mercenaries are going to generally be better at combat than the other Professions or will they share a joint-mastership with the Troopers...

Mercs specialize in offense, hence they get attack bonuses, reductions to attack RT, increased damage, etc.
Troopers specialize in defense, hence they get defense bonuses, increased armor ability, tactics, etc.
Both of these professions share the place of combat superiority, it's just a matter of which flavor of badass you want to be, in a nutshell. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato
