NPC Movement and unintended consequences.

[Luuca]

I've noticed the game has come to life with client control; rats scurry about Altdorf as the executioner paces the gallows. All very cool to see the lay people of Altdorf going about their daily routines. The IC is full of traffic as well and monsters float through the air and npcs wander the city. All welcomed changes to the game environment and immersion factor.

What's not so cool is the Scenario Spawn guards are taking little walks into the SC area and staying where they stand after killing the enemy player. This results in a chain effect pull of the SC Spawn Guard closer and closer to the midpoint of the SC. I have screen shots of the an Order spawn point guard about halfway to the stairs on Order side (with a nice respawn timer mid screen as well).

I suggest we limit or remove their ability to move from their post. Protect away, just do so from up top.

If you need the SS, I can post.

Actually thats interesting SCs twist:) We could get a special sc edition with goal to protect and escort guard, like in 2nd stage of City Siege:)

The ones in t1 Elf/Dwarf do too.
The guards in ekrund go all the way up to hill.

Sounds like we have found the perfect defense for cannon battery.

Set movement of scenario NPCs to 0 in next patch.

rhino mount OTW?

What about melee guards that move down to the slope to insta kill enemies? They wont do that with 0 movement. The problem is that guards doesnt come back to their original possition not that they move 10 fts or so

They don't need to be melee, just have terminate with some range that will cover spawn.
