I’m not sure if we can take it by ourselves. The problem is, did they take away all incentives to mercs to come and help? I know last time mercs could at least get emblems.
This post from last week seems to confirm that it was indeed formerly possible for Mercs to get bonus loot, and that it was unintended, and that it’s fixed:
More accurately, their motivations for a Rare Titan and a Regular Titan are essentially the same now — though Rare Titans give loot tiers equivalent to one stat higher than their rating.
So whatever motivated people to merc before for Regular Titans will presumably continue to motivate them to merc for all Titans.
And anyone who was mercing solely to make use of the bug to get extra loot from Rare Titans will presumably be less interested or stop.
We use merc’s for rare titans sometimes. There are a few line groups that do it. I can try and find out for you, as I’m not the one in the group. One thing to consider is to always have space in the alliance in case you need a merc. So it kind of becomes an issue if you’d rather be full and take out titans as a group or use aid from mercs when needed. Not everyone has a ton of flasks sitting pretty.
I guess we are making pretty good work on it so far. Not sure how tapped out of flasks my team mates are. My hits have only been good for between 20-30k. This vlock against status ailments is definitely a learning experience!
Insert inappropriate joke here. LOL. Anyway, yes it is sometimes so easy to want to just finish one off. But, you have to remember that this is a team effort, and 12 hours is a long time. Everyone will get 2 flags. Besides, you want to be able to regenerate enough flaggage (I made up this word) to be able to take the next Titan…as it will be stronger.
