OMG!! So many sound like they want this permanent party member that they can skill up and equip. Can any of you that want this please explain how this would even remotely play into the Devs comments on coop. Why would they want you to have AI parties if there concern is promoting coop. This should be about player skill and if its hard enough to need help get a friend not some AI toon or lvl up some more in lower areas.
Its a suggestion thread, in the suggestion section.
Also people like having a merc, its buffs are useful and it helps get those bothersome monsters off your back if your in a tight spot, typically in a coop game mercs die very quickly and you have to rely on your team mates anyway, but during solo player having a merc is a life saver and helps people out generally well.
A merc already levels up anyway so why can't we make him more versatile and unique in appearance? I don't think making a game better is a bad thing and players expressing ideas an opinions is better then to simply shut up and say yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir.
Promoting coop is fine, its one of the many things that makes diablo great, but you shouldn't simply force people down one avenue and say its for your own good.
The merc system is in diablo 2 for fucks sake!
You can equip items on your merc already, asking that it has a visual appearance isn't something over the top. Your merc already levels up and auto-stats too, we ask that it has some more depth this time maybe new skills at certain levels or something and the merc was a perma-member of your party until he died and you had to revive him, yes you don't have to have a merc around, it generally when your solo running its helpful to have the merc around.
Your acting like we simply made the idea of the merc up with your post!
Talking about ideas about things that could be done isn't something you should ride people on mate.
Typically when people want to tackle something hard online they would go and get a mate to help them with the task, but what about offline solo play? should that poor bugger just give up, snap the disk and call it a day cause he is can't handle crowd control of 20 mobs coming at him at once with buffs, resistances and debuffs to your character?
I think you came in here very shallow minded, don't just think about your own situation, there are other people in this world not as lucky as you or myself to be able to simply call up a mate to play whenever we are able too, giving solo players the ability to have to merc is a perk and a damn good one specially if there character class doesn't have any pets.
I don't think theres a diablo player alive that doesn't thank a merc for saving there butt in hardcore hell durance of hate, solo or multiplayer! dolls are bloody murder
However this time I want them to be more then attack and buff puppets, I want to be able to give them some skill sets (who would love a barb merc with whirlwind!), have there appearance change when I equip items on them like would happen when my character puts on items and have him be able to be a freakin mule!
I hate having to portal back to town all the time to clear my inventory.
