justicebeliever Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Sorry - I'm often unpopular, but /jranger. I like the challenge of having to get the NPC's to the door, and if I am stealthed, then I would expect that they can't see me. What's good for the goose is good for the gander... Can your teammates see you? I should hope so...it would break the game mechanics if they can't... I get what you are saying...there is only so much immersion to be expected in the game...but where it exists, I'd prefer it be kept...

Six-Six Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I don't know if this will aid the topic at all, but I'd appreciate it if the hostages wouldn't just walk up right next to me while I'm taking care of the bad guys -- sometimes even between me and the boss. I find if funny, but also distracting at times. And of course totally unrealistic. If I may suggest instead for the escortee to flee when there's a said encounter with baddies. And while you're preoccupied, he/she hides again so you have to find them again... maybe within the immediate vicinity only, not in like a different floor or across the map into previously unrevealed areas. In such a case, maybe an option (similar to pet window?) to tell the hostage to stay put some place while you dismiss threats, or help you fight if they are able, or call them if they're within a limited radius from you.

Shazzie Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I just wish that escorts could see you from farther away. It's really, really annoying for escorts to constantly lose my MM because collision with my pets causes them to be pushed back and wind up out of range. Over. And over. And over. I wind up having to turn off Sprint and pause every 5 seconds and yet they STILL get 'left behind' repeatedly. No Stealth of any fashion. I either dismiss my minions, or I turn on WALK and hope that that's slow enough for them to not get pushed back out of range. Bloody annoying.

AerialAssault Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Some of the "newer" story arcs (i.e. Praetoria, First Ward etc.) feature some escort NPCs who are able to follow you no matter how far you go and regardless of any stealth powers, so the technology certainly exists but whether or not it's as simple as flicking a switch, I don't know. If it required manually changing every escort I could understand why the devs would be hesitant to work on that. 3 Oh? You like City of Heroes? Name every player character. I'll be waiting in my PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oubliette_Red Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Along with updating the rescuee AI, certain map rooms should be removed or banned from escort mission. Like the Layer cake room or multi-ramped Arachnos room. 1 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! I turn off Sprint, and despite having zero boost to run speed (Swift unslotted, etc.) it still doesn't help the NPC stay within range, especially with minions jostling for their own spot in my wake.

Gravitus Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 So I just created a new thread on this and was unaware of this threads existence . after reading everything here; I’m totally fine with these npcs not just being able to zip through for RP purposes. But like one guy here said, when they’re getting lost every 10 ft. Somethings gotta give . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance Jackson Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Can we just make it so that escort NPCs automatically head to the door giving the player the option to follow/back them up instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
