NPC to fill group spots in Catacombs?

[Tholus]

You'll find friends and allies in the new underground cities
(from the new Catacombs website)

Put it together with the "buffs" part in the Frior's inteview on Catacombs and with:
Private Adventuring is available to all levels and dynamically scales in difficulty depending on the makeup of your group

..... will friends and allies come in the instanced dungeons to help (buff and heal if you miss healers in group i.e.)?

was just wondering.....

there may well be NPC's which buff you(like haste buffers), but I doubt it'll be any where near as effective as buffbots. buffbots = $)

I'll be taking 3 SM NPCs, 2 Warrior NPCs and 1 Shammy NPC and 1 FOP Healer NPC and go farm stuff :>

God yeah, wouldn't want people to group. Don't want any sense of community within the game. What does this look like? An MMORPG? No,no,no this is a 3rd person version of Counter Strike!

 

[illu]

Well, it would be handy for when all your guild mates are in bed at 3am :>

But yes, I agree, farming and xping artifacts is so much more fun with real life people. I solo'd most of maddening scalars and ring of dances and it was brain numbingly boring. Much more fun living, killing, xping and dying in a group :>

Wonder if it will be in rvr as well...

random alb/hib...

OMG bug abusing NPC healer chain stunning meh!!!1

etc..

 

[legaoniel]

actually..

I think it's much more likely to mean foes (mobs) friends (merchants)...

 

[Balbor]

i think its designed to help new player who atm find it hard to form groups becasue of the low number of people Exping the 'classic' way.

 

[Jeeves]

Maybe it's like the "mercenary" system in Diablo 2.....must say, would be cool. =o
