The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (PUBLIC) The Pub Funniest mistake i seen online (gaming)

Well this is a oxymoron and i don't catch many of the errors out there but i read this and thought wtf


EverQuest: Seeds of Destruction, on the other hand, is a little lighter in the new features, but then this is the 15th EverQuest expansion. New additions include a level cap increase to 85; 20 new zones that feature both "re-imagined classic content" as well as all-new realms; player-controlled NPCs called "Mercenaries," which will scale to the player's level and provide "extra muscle in PvE encounters;" and access to all the content from all previous EverQuest expansions. Both expansions will also come with Legends of Norrath, a "strategic online trading card game."




Player Controlled NPCs = What the fuck and the guy who wrote the review doesn't deserve his paycheck

Jumbo shrimp? LOL.

That's as funny as Ms. N. Carolina explaining why some Americans cannot point out the US on a map.

Player controlled NPCs were in UO early on. I used to hire a bunch and then lead them to their doom in a dungeon near by where fire fields spawned. When they died, they dropped their armor which I promptly picked up and sold in town and raised cash.

Its not really an oxymoron.

Player controlled NPC is basically a pet.. at least that's how I interpret it. So just a mercenary pet.

Actually NPC stands for Non Player Character.

Back to the point, I thought it was funny to have a "player controlled" NPC

Hehe Rep

NPC's in some games have some limited control or in other
( Such as Baulders Gate and the like ) you actually
controlled much of their combat if you chose to do so.

While interesting, trying to keep up with an entire groups
worth of combat made it somewhat overwhelming
