Delete NPCs - Wesker - 12-04-2015
Yep its this thread again.
The only NPCs in this game that serve any good purpose are nomad NPCs because they carry remains for cloaks, but I hear thats getting removed anyways.
They spawn in complete excess for raiding parties, even a few of them can prove to just be really irritating.
Being jumped by 15 nomad NPCs in delta
People say NPC gbs dont spawn in open space? Apparently not in Mu.
Literally 0 contribution stopping lanes, dealing extra damage when your dueling/pvping (you feel it more on snubs). They really need to go, its hard to type and avoid being shot at my 5 NPC Gbs that continuously follow you unless you manage to break 10k range and hope no ones still near them so they dont come back. Irritating.

Wont happen.

Pretty sure Delta is getting remedied.

No thanks. Individual patrols might need adjusting in places, but NPCs as a whole serve a valuable purpose.

Populating the game environment. They're the background scenery that stops the game feeling entirely dead when you don't encounter a single player during a 40 minute trade run.

NPCs should be an aesthetic and should never be functional to the point where they can harm interaction.
RE: Delete NPCs - jammi - 12-04-2015
You mean like 99% of them are right now? Even massed NPCs are utterly pathetic in the majority of systems and locations.
RE: Delete NPCs - Lythrilux - 12-04-2015
Actually I think the big problem is the way NPCs chase players down even a certain NPC type even just flickers ok the radar. Is there a way to alter their AI to make them give up sooner?
