Players are more immersive when interacting in RP sense and so immersion is at the highest levels. This game is about socialising more than anything and so If you talk to a NPC is that going to be immersive if the game has replies scripted? no, if the player talks to a player the game is more immersive because the replies are not scripted. Also this game is the first of it's kind and well will out do the games with NPC's everywhere because they don't have the immersion the game requires for RP. This game will rule out the proper way of making a MMORPG! If you don't like the world being more empty as no AI roaming like GTA or games like Skyrim then you can choose to leave or stay but I guarantee if you stay, you will feel good as you made the right decision.

Posted February 19, 2017 How did you come to that conclusion? Npcs are basically the same thing as robots. They don't think for themselves. Their behavior is based on coding. Now, Im not against Npcs if it were a one-player game we were talking about. But this is a MMORPG. Online gaming revolves around community. You will probably see Npcs as venders, and I hope they play the role as prison guards, but I don't see much further use for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 19, 2017 It's true they do not think, by them selves but there are companies that are working on AI that allows them to make their own decisions but also adding fail safes and restrictions so they don't go on a killing spree, I am sure that they can make AI that can judge decisions of the player, and reply accordingly.

Posted February 19, 2017 I believe they are be too busy with other aspects of the game. And this technology probably requires a lot of data, and they probably don't want to blow up our hard drives. They consider it unimportant as well. They said they won't be using Npcs as much. They want to make this game feel as realistic as possible. We can't have everything we want in a game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or at least have NPC drive That would make the streets feel more lively... Edited February 19, 2017 by Businessmann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This game is more freedom and well having NPC's driving that randomly crash into you; how are you supposed to interact with them? you can't. NPC's roaming is the worst thing to have in the game of freedom because well they always will behave different and well they are stupid and ruins our driving experience (My Opinion). However they do make the map not feel empty but I would rather not go have another GTA because you cannot interaction roleplay with them in general. Quote How did you come to that conclusion?

No prison guards at all either. Edited February 19, 2017 by JamesLuck01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2017 Sure some streets will feel a bit empty (some times) but(!) you will not have to think of NPCs that don't do what they should (move over when the police/medic/fire fighters come etc). And you always know that when you see someone it is a real player that you can interact with. Also this is how Altis life on Arma 3 works, and that is one of the most fun gamemodes I have ever played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2017 The problem I have with no NPC's and also other issues which spring to mind what if you on a low populated server or in another time zone how will you be able to interact if none is online? This could cause it to be really boring if there are no other players about. This leads me to believe that the playing area would have to be small and limited too which does not sound appealing if you want to adventure out into the wilderness so I can see many issues from a playing perspective here!

I think that you can sleep to wait the right time when the server will fill up or you can go to another server with more players playing. In all cases, I think when you find a server with low population is because the game is not attractive anymore, but this we hope that never will happen.

I do not intend to keep jumping servers to find a population once i select a server i want to play there and build the character up pointless if I need to roam to play...As for your suggestion that I sleep that's stands to reason I will be sleeping as and when needed with the character, however I do not want to be constantly having to relog to find people to interact with so in my opinion this will be the dervs biggest challenge to keep the community interested for the long term to warrant the invest to play the game.

Posted February 21, 2017 More than 10k accounts bought, yes we can find very much servers with enough populate to play in. Don't worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) I am curious as to what the population limit is on these servers. Edited February 24, 2017 by Mentality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we won't be able to marry and have NPC children? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 24, 2017 No NPC children, just marriage afaik. NPCs should in my opinion exist as long as they are not needed to interact with. That is: as in real life, the shop vendor is actually an NPC in your real life. You don't really interact with him besides the functionality it provides. If a shop vendor in game was relevant to the story, then it would be an immersion breaker, but not if they only serve as vendors. And we need them because an empty shop is unrealistic. Same guess for NPC drivers. You don't interact directly with them, but empty roads are in my opinion a heavy immersion breaker. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2017 Okey Development team, I know that the game can't be what it is without having no NPCs, but if a server does not have 300 players playing the game you should definitely fill in the spaces with NPCs, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
