NPC's too Weak?

Am I the only one who misses actually being able to rely on NPCs? Falling back to a resource as a group of 4 and using them to help fight off a zerg use to be a lot more viable than it is now. Can we please have that back?

    siege is to blame. npc's too stupid to get outta red circles. maybe buffing npc's to siege damage would help with this issue. but to buff them in any other way would just make them unkillable/op

    I like that siege can kill NPCs now, but I do wish ZOS would crank their damage output up to make up for their new vulnerability. They should at least be buffed up enough to make players make meaningful decisions about pursuing opponents who have retreated to NPC cover.

    keep in mind that buffing npc's would affect non-vet camps largely (i believe that they are not scaled down). i personally do not play non vet pvp but i could see an issue there if npc's were buffed.

    in the non-vet campaign, keep guard archers used to be able to literally 1 shot players.

    buff the damage, but dont make them unkillable for the non-vet campaigns.

    NPCs used to be a factor. Then they nerfed them, then they overpowered us, then they made siege damage stronk, then they nerfed them again.

    All in all the last thing to worry about in a keep cap now is the guards. Hell people are soloing outposts now. Its only a matter of time before someone gets a three tier keep by themselves.

    Now you're asking far too much of ZOS' abilities.

    Best to ask them to make NPCs stronger so ZOS will make them one shot people and not fix it for 6 weeks.

    One step at a time...
