Return of Reckoning

yeah keep lord seriously need more hp (lik x10 ^^) he dies in seconds now.

They could just add the in-game items to bolster the door, planks of wood etc.
They were added in before to good effect.
That also gives the defenders time to plan a good defense.

Here's a question

Why are their all the pointless npc mobs in the bottom floor of the keeps and just makes a huge pointless dead zone that invaders can't engage in

The intent I suppose is to fight all the mobs on the lower floor as an obstacle between you and the higher floor. When reality hits, the easymode zerg just runs past them because double ramp keeps are a thing. It probably doesn't help that the respawn time on mobs would make it kind of pointless to kill anything on the lower floor.

If you do manage to keep all the mobs on the lower floor dead, you could potentially block the backdoor from defenders getting in. That might be the only real benefit.

Consider as well that most players are horribly over leveled for the T2 zones. 5 levels above what is intended.

Like you said npcs respawn so fast that much like body guards they serve no point in killing further more when the postern door works right and mdps can use bypass defenses/lock pick their will be a huge area they can't engage in or use aoe abilites for the fear of aggroing champs

that's why I dislike these pointless npc mobs

Spoiler:

Wouldn't mind some warp engineers for defending.
