I think we can all agree that NPC guards that defend keeps and resources are a joke to most groups. Groups can stack and AoE them down with not much trouble.
To make things more interesting, I think NPC guards should be given the ability to cast inevitable detonation on an enemy player.
I don't think this will be 'overpowered', it's pretty easy to counter so it won't make too much of a difference against good players. If an NPC casts this ability on you, you will need to move away from your allies and your allies shouldn't mindlessly spam purge in case it gets cast on someone. I think this is a pretty straight forward feature to implement and will add something extra for attackers to think about which will make capturing the flags a more engaging experience.
Thoughts?

✭i think the NPCs should be using Support and Assault trees abilitys... all of them.I play every class in every situation. I love them all.1 -
Tripwyr✭✭✭✭✭Anything that makes it harder for zergs to steamroll keeps is a good suggestion to me. I like the idea of it automatically casting on the crown, but unfortunately there are addons that would make this ineffective.Alacrity Founder | Forum Emperor

I am of the firm opinion that subtracting "raging stupidity" from anyone's voice can only cause them to sound more like myself.1 -
NotSo✭✭✭✭There should be Guard Captain NPC's that basically function as a coordinator for a group of NPC's. Tell them who to attack. Who to peel. To cc. Marching formations when idle. Big guy in super heavy armor on an armored horse.
Should also be NPC operated counter siege.Gar'Sol the Wanderer VR14 Khajiit Sorcerer Spellblade0 -

you want even more lag in the game?0 -
NotSo✭✭✭✭An npc that can influence other npcs is not going to cause more lag. It just makes npcs less stupid.Edited by NotSo on July 14, 2015 12:28AMGar'Sol the Wanderer VR14 Khajiit Sorcerer Spellblade1

ThyIronFist✭✭✭✭✭No, please no. Leave NPCs as they are. It's PvP, not PvE. If you want non-PvP stuff go run trials in craglorn with the rest of the carebears.The Elder Zergs Online

NotSo✭✭✭✭So we'll just keep the baby npcs then?
Let solo players ninja resources? It's easier than you might think.Gar'Sol the Wanderer VR14 Khajiit Sorcerer Spellblade0 -
FlounderOG✭✭✭Yes we keep NPCs as they are.
If an enemy has more numbers than you, they SHOULD steamroll your ass. I know its frustrating, but this suggestion would just take all the achievement out of PvP. Please stop trying to change game mechanics to benefit people who should be losing.-Daggerfall Covenant (Xbox NA)-

NPCs will get a boost sooner or later. By 'boost' I mean an overall increase to their health and damage. This has already been done before and devs confirmed they will keep boosting NPC strength from time to time to keep up with the strength of players. I don't think they need any fancy abilities as the whole point of NPCs is to keep enemies busy while you're on your way to the keep/resource. And I believe it should stay that way because I come to Cyro for PVP, not for 'interesting' PVE encounters.Edited by Rakshat on July 14, 2015 1:14AMRaven Ashcrown
