Merc haven

I really don"t like the look of the this building (leave it for single player) reapers are supposed to be the most hardened criminals and also their supposed to come from the worst prison/"re education places in the universe not some bar where they go to supposedly become drunks.

 

It's called the Merc Compound now, as seen in the Battle Report.

Anyways, I think you can count on the lore behind the Reapers or the design of the structure to change some time in the future. Or maybe it already makes sense. Honestly I haven't thought it through.

 

I think its cool. Hardboiled bar together with a stripper hologram? GG

 

I agree, this building needs a makeover.

 

I agree too. I has to be changed into a jail !

 

Or some kind of holding cell that would look like a armory of sorts because the marines get there shield upgrade from there.

 

I think Blizzard has already its concept of this building already done.

 

so the merc haven is supposed to be a stripper bar/government research facility on infantry armor?

 

that's it ! This is what happends in reality too.

 

sogeking, what are you talking about? government research doesnt take place in vegas strip bars, do they?

 

Honestly, where else?

I agree it needs a change, seems lost in some lore before reapers were the super hard-core, hard to resoc criminals or something...

 

the merc haven should change into a high security prison or top secret terran resocialization/research installation.
i dont think they would just let the reapers go get drinks at a bar and pay dollar bills to pole dancing strippers right after being resocialized and trained.
and they're not mercenaries, they are PART of the terran military

 

I have to agree with you onlyhuman. Why a bar? It should be a top secret research building. That makes perfect since. But no it's a bar.

 

I also doubt there would be a bar in the middle of hostile territory anyways let alone where guys who are trained to fight would be allowed to go.

 

You guys must all be underaged; bars are resoc facilities.

Blizz will find a way to make the fantastic building model fit into lore.

 

yeah..its kinda weird as they are criminals, are considered mercenaries and have a building as a bar.. identity crisis lol

 

Like I said before its fine for campaign but they should come up with something way cooler looking.

 

really nice comment about how bars are resoc facilities. beer is the medicine lol.
wouldnt drunk flying be dangerous for reapers, though? especially in the heat of battle wielding two pistols and D8 charges?

 

Personally I like the idea of the Merc Compound and would rather see the Reapers changed to fit that theme versus changing the Merc Compound. Why would you equip hard to control Soldiers with jetpacks and mines? It doesn't make nearly as much sense as hiring a bunch of well equiped mercenaries to work for you. Also, if we are assuming it is a Merc Compound then its logical to assume it probably is well stocked in equipment and considering the Shield are essentially giant metal slabs the mercenaries wouldn't need to be very high tech to have a bunch of them.

 

I guess that's true, LordKerwyn. Mercenaries have been known to able to get any thing. Like nukes, bombs, you name it. They can get anything for a price. I guess it makes more since. But then shouldn't the reapers be mercenaries not prisoners?
