Mercenaries of Trarthus - Renown

if i speak with him and go i lose rank. but if i speak with him start fight and run i lose rank or not??
Some people obviously want Poe1 to be a sandbox game instead of an ARPG. You realize that the reward in RPG games comes with actually doing something right?

Doesn't this force players to engage with the mechanic even if they don't see any items they want from the mercs? Seems like a bad change, why force us to engage with the mechanic if we deem there is no loot we want?


It's an arpg welcome to grinding

Bad change. Complexity without depth. Makes the content less intuitive without making it better. It's not too late to fix it. I would advise not making last minute changes like this in the future. It clearly wasn't thought out.

You guys complain about everything.. Jesus.

I guess like someone already said. this is to avoid ppl spamming maps to look for the best merc and don't realy interact with them.

you don't like the loot? kill him...
Nicee lets goo
In the reveal they showed an option about changing the merc didn't ??!?!

1 rank up or down every Merc and there is only a max of 3? what is even the point of this then? everyone will just always be max.

If there was like 10 levels and each level was like 5 Merc to gain a level and still 1 full level for bailing so one bail would cost you 5 encounters. Then there would be some incentive to not go fishing or whatever they are trying to protect from. But as it is there is virtually no downside or reason for it to exist.


i think, as you mention, it's to prevent fishing. if the increased chance to encounter the special mercs is linear, then having more renown levels would actually be worse at preventing fishing. as you suggest, requiring more than one defeat to increase renown would help as well. five might be too many. maybe leave it at 3 levels and each level requires that many consecutive victories to attain, and bailing drops you one level regardless?
Anything about console yet?
WOW
