    As it stands right now, mercenaries will be a huge part of the new territories system.

    Not really, most chainers charge over 800k per attack so it will become very expensive in a short amount of time. It a good tactics for factions who have sub faction but they already use this tactic.

Now that the days in faction has its update i think people going as mercs aint so bad

A faction can hire B faction's member for a fixed price for a limit amount of chain or time without having to worry about losing the days in faction.

Dunno if someone else thought of this but i think its a good idea for small factions with good wealth.

Give a little thumbs up if you like the idea

And comment how you think its a bad idea

I think what HapSeal 'might' be suggesting, is an idea similar to how trades work. But rather than items in the trade, it's player for money. And within that screen you can determine length of time or X amount of attacks.

After accepted by both sides, like a trade, money is transferred and players are transferred without the need of applying. Then after the agreed time/hits, players are automatically moved back.

amirite HarpSeal?

this is a very interesting furthering development of the initial topic, which I'm pretty sure that the OM did not develop anywhere near this much. But that sounds like quite a bit of work to be able to implement, and i would rather them work on TER bugs first.

Lol. I have never see a chain charge that. And it would be a deal between leaders, so say I offer 100 million for player c,y,X for 4 days. Then they are auto in the team 4 days chain or not. That's where rep would come in. Just like a standard merc crew

Great Idea guys.

wherever marlon brandos thread about territories was, when the preview came out, ched mentioned a built in system for guesting for faction non territory warfare


edit he didnt mention guesting but he did mention termed wars, which i thought would include guesting, but i suppose i might just be like stop online hits, or something

honestly, it wont really. In a free market The price of Mercs will be exorbitant. ergo, only the old, established factions or players will be able to afford them. it will help on an equal level, ergo Hof VS HOF, and So on down the line. still helpful, but not that game changing.
HarpSeal [183595] · #20

yes, if there will be a merc system there HAS to be a link to a trade. since many scams will occur because it will be big money to hire mercs.

This system would be an opportunity for small factions to advance in their growth.

However, im out of ideas on how the trading(making a contract) would work though. like if there is a contract of 600k per day, the merc would choose not to come online. and if it is 600k per chain, the merc would choose to attack once and leave.
There should be a way to fulfill the contract that satisfy the employer.

maybe if it is similar to the bounty system it'd be great. like the 10k per level system but a lil lower.
if you have better ideas please share
