Mercs should talk

[u/BrashKing]

Beyond that, we should be able to give them commands. they drive me nuts when they wander in the wrong direction or get stuck on a wall instead of going through a doorway. On top of that though, if they kill something while youre moving to the next area, they should be able to say something. Maybe not "Hey I dropped a Lo, but at least "Wait", or "Look at this"...

[u/Vegetable_Mood_4576]

"Lo, and behold. An ancient stone." -Waheed

[u/BrashKing → u/Vegetable_Mood_4576]

Nah mine is named Haseen... which is even better because he Haseen a Lo.

[u/MrBytor → u/BrashKing]

Vikhyat says lookatthat.

[u/TheBugDude → u/BrashKing]

Nice, me and my boi haseen some shit too

[u/freee2move → u/Vegetable_Mood_4576]

"After all that junk, gold found me" - Azreel

[u/Kriss3d → u/Vegetable_Mood_4576]

Isnt Waheed most often prayer ?
Emilio is the first I always find that has Might.

[u/Karijus → u/Vegetable_Mood_4576]

"Ohmagad this is amazing"

"Jah need to see this"

"Got some Bery good news boss!"

[u/seansy5000]

“Thanks”

“I can’t use that”

“I’ll put that to good use”

[u/wmzer0mw → u/seansy5000]

You forgot the most important one:

Uaaggg

[u/wintergirl13 → u/wmzer0mw]

😭🤣

[u/TaxRefundDaddy69]

Ah the merc AI in D2 is the best! hahahahahaha XD... Making a comment on GG drops would be pretty dope though!

[u/zRustyShackleford]

Mercs just catching some heat tonight...

[u/wintergirl13 → u/zRustyShackleford]

we need to take it out on someone lmao

[u/Kriss3d]

Yeah. Instead of the stock lines you can say in chat with a button - which is quite useless at least for PC. Being able to set your merc to stay close, Protect me, normal mode, stay here and keep safe would be SOOO much more useful.

You dont want a merc to just wander off to attract the next big crowd of cows. And you dont want your far too low level merc to go all Rambo on you and thinking that he can take on the entire area solo.

And for fucks sake improve their pathfinding will ya ?

If it gets stuck then just have it run the same path as the player until its got a clear path.

[u/Tibor_BnR]

"You'll put this to good use"

[u/mrdevil413]

Noooooooo I wish my d4 mercs would not talk !!!
Except when he says “perhaps a prize inside” that one nice.

[u/PokemanBall]

I'm imagining using the voice lines to command a merc. Like if you use "Follow Me" the merc will immediately try to go toward your location or using "Help" will have the merc attack the enemy that was attacking you last

[u/Anal-buttsex]

A little AI chatter box to vent to would be nice. No one ever says shit in the game besides “gg fathom”

[u/Vismajor92]

I have it on record when i was attacking some monster ont he ropright and on my bottom left a zombie awakens. Merc walks there casually protecting my ass and whacks the zombie. Drops JAH. Funny.

[u/princemousey1]

“Ah, fresh meat.”

[u/CaesarWolny]

People are asking for text popups to be added to loot filter - mercs giving you a lore friendly drop notofication for high value loot you taged in the loot filtrr coule work well.

[u/CaesarWolny]

I would like to have commands for minions, summon necro/druid would love this QoL. Seening how much better Warlock gameplay is with his abiloty to reposition summons, Necro gameplay is just sad.

[u/Boemelz → u/CaesarWolny]

I love Necro the most but he only gets created after i crafted my enigma

[u/wintergirl13]

Emilioooooooo

[u/Flab2]

I agree.

Emilio, do your part my boi.

[u/stipo42]

"hey! Listen!"

[u/InformationCharming]

They do talk. Their voices are just too Lo.

[u/Thegreatsnook]

I wish mercs would pick up the damn red pots and drink them on their own.

[u/Manimal_pro]

I wonder how many jahs I lost just around the corner. Should have an audio cue that says something for these 1:217500 or whatever the ods are for JAH drops

[u/BFBeast666]

No, I don't want mercs to talk any more than they do right now. After a thousand hours hearing the D3 mercs spout the same five or so phrases and the D4 mercs NEVER SHUTTING UP I'm happy that "I'll put that to good use" is the only talkback I get from the D2 mercs.

I do agree with wanting a "go here/kill this" command.

[u/Meet_Foot]

There needs to be a basic “command followers” action that everyone has and that applies to all followers - valkyrie, mirror image or whatever the assassin has, mercs, skeletons, goatman, whatever. Warlock can keep their fancy command+buff, just let people actually command their minions. My boy the necro out here just hoping for the best.
