I just noticed this, there are no mage merc in the game, why? Can't a mage sell his help like others do, Xd? I think would be nice having mage merc too!

Moreover, actually the AI of the merc is pretty dumb, is it hard to make it so that at least when u get attacked they come and defend you without you having the trouble of telling them that you need help( I mean, I paid them to protect me and they justa stay there, and see me die xd), and can't they have something to heal themself like bandages so you don't have to heal them after every fight( I don't mean anything of op just some recovering by their side).

 

Hoping to be of help your red mage,

Mercs should auto attack whatever is attacking you as long as two conditions are true.

1. They are in LoS

2. They are not already attacking something else.

I will see if there is an issue here...

It happens sometime, that I'm being attacked and they stay still, next time I'll write down, what and when this happens.

What about the mage merc xd?

I will see what I can do on the mage merc... ill put it in as a request :-)

Today I got some free time and decided to log in, as promised I sought information about the npc's AI. Well, it seems that when I take aggro the npc reacts defending me but if in the meanwhile another mob attacks me, when the first mob dies the npc will not attack the second letting me fight alone. There are also cases when they don't react even with the first one, but they are spare cases and I couldn't figure out what is the reason yet.

Hopeffuly this will help, cya
