Obviously its going to be a rocky start in this brand new world.

Heres my idea NPC players. They get level 5 skills and form corporations and pvp and do missions and do industrial and sell thiings and everything. Regarding their prices they make 10% - 25% on their price range in the player/NPC market or something like that.

This will make PVM ultimate and you will learn pvp and it would be just as good as pvp except pvm.

And with how they will basically be there forever and all be level 5 and accumulate in masses you can blow up a "drone mind" in an ultimate incursion sort of senerio.

I'm totally with Lloyd.

What?

That outline is very confusing aside from the fact you want non player character players (wat?).

One way to put it is you have NPC's and they gain to level 5 in all the skills like us players. And they arn't neccessarily pirates, so I suppose the player pirates would blow up the friendly "drone mind".

Plus if the myth that there really are hackers in the game Twisted then we can have a lot of fun fighting these ultimate PVP/PVM NPCP's

Oh... I get what Yige is saying.

tldr: he wants NPC helpers that are just as good as the player who is controlling them (so he can fight blobs by himself)


Yige... use the search function. This has been proposed before. And it was rejected.

The problems are:

- every player is technically "solo." If one player can hire 5 NPCs then SO CAN EVERYONE ELSE.
In other words... if you cannot afford NPC helpers AND have friends then you are at an even greater disadvantage.

- it discourages teamwork in a game designed for social gameplay

- this will turn 10 vs. 10 fights into 50 vs 50 fights. This is not good for the server or for people who prefer "small gang warfare."




On last thing: Yige... if you insist on being solo then you MUST ACCEPT that you will be at a disadvantage against players who work together. Even if they are "younger" or "poorer."

Being "one man against an army" is SUPPOSED to be almost impossible. Otherwise everyone else can do it too.

I actually think he's suggesting independent NPCs that kind of do everything players do and compete with players. So he can surround himself with a team of NPCs and fight against teams of NPCs.

After promising not to post again, too.

A quick search found a few threads with more coherency, here's one for a laugh

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
