Dead NPCs respawn faster
« on: March 29, 2011, 04:23:22 pm »

I'm sitting on town preview, peeking at the aftermath of someone's Reno rampage, and I can't help but wonder at the point of it all. But my main point is why don't NPCs respawn within a minute or so? I don't get the advantage in having a town of corpses for five or ten minutes.

I'd also suggest that every trader has guards. Give pretty much every business some hired goons, at least the Reno ones. People should be able to shop in peace, even if the rest of the town is a clusterfuck. Not that the Bishops, Salvatores or Mordinos would actually let someone gun down half their town anyway, but who cares about internal game logic? I have civilians to shoot.

Edit: Goddamn, about 40 minutes later, they're still all dead. Definitely the same dead ones, too. That lady cut in half is freaking me out.

Not a bad idea.

About the second part of the suggestion, it was recently discussed. I do think devs are planning to implement some alternative guards system in certain parts of New Reno.

I think Casinos will be guarded, but that's it. I think Solar explicitly said Reno would never be guarded, which is a shame. I'd like some kind of mob presence on the streets. I couldn't see the mobsters tolerating any kind of threat to their potential customers or their businesses.

Haven't run around killing NPCs in a while, but don't you get xp for killing them? I think that's why they don't respawn. Otherwise you could find an isolated NPC that takes one crit shot to kill and farm xp.

I do like traders having their own guards though.

I don't think most NPCs, especially not any merchants, give experience... just useless grieving.

This is good suggestion.

I agree with this NPCs.

But idea about have guards in New Reno Arms or even in Renesco, please no. As you all know, we have militia in almost all towns and New Reno is so good place without guards. You must admit that Reno is dangerous city and if anyone want trade there, he must wait everything from everywhere,Especially in New Reno.

Also if you fight there, you can accidentaly hit NPC and then you have big problems inside town, because NPCs attacks you. Please, serious, dont make this game more PvE in places or in situations where noone want it.

I agree. Guards need to be more righteous too, for what it's worth. In some places anyway. I don't really think any character should ever walk away from a situation where he offended the guards in a major, guarded city. We could also mitigate some of the dumbness by letting you get stuff on the exit grids more easily, or make a blanket rule that stuff left there goes away right now by default. One or the other. And I know you can punch your pal in the face, and walk out and get it. The point is that people opt, for various reasons, to wade out and get stuff while enduring a hail of punches from random npc's.

I agree. Either make NPCs respawn faster, or make players respawn 2 hours... :P
Because right now it's not fair, poor NPCs  :'(

I agree with other posts and this should be ingame (Well, because of those shopkeeper killers and other suiciders)
And also i want to see less "NPC exploiders" in future.
