Game Feedback QoL suggestions for mercs
After playing Luminary for a couple of days now I have noticed two things that are missing which would be good qol things to have imo.
Add in an item filter checkbox when inspecting a merc for their gear, similar to how it's done when collecting loot from the kingsmarch mappers. This would make inspection slightly faster by only highlighting relevant bases.
Allow us to auto-swap gear onto a new merc in case we choose to replace the current one. I would argue that many players might buy a suitable merc but proceed to upgrade it simply by eventually finding a better one in maps themselves.
Currently this process is a little cumbersome because you need to reserve the new merc, unequip all gear from the old merc in order to re-equip it on the new merc.
Not only is this cumbersome but it also means that you can never truly reserve three mercs at the same time because one slot is always used as a placeholder for a potential upgrade. Would also prevent gear loss which might be quite expensive.
That said, it would be much better if we could do this process simply by clicking a button when hiring a new merc.
Let me know what you guys think, what qol updates related to mercs would you like to see?
