Shattered Kingdoms

Balacha is a beast. But the rest of the Talon NPCs are so gimp it isn't funny.

Talon NPCs are even more of a joke than the Empire/Peacekeeper NPCs.

In terms of which NPCs were better (IMO):

CoN (Best)
Empire/Peacekeeper
Talon
Guardian (Worst)

I like those gangly priests quite a bit, prayer/lighten load + enchant armor/weapon is really nice.

Even then, the gimp NPCs that the Talons have, their standard foot soldiers still comprise of several level 38ish giant barbs/centaur barbs with pikes, they're not all that defenseless. They're far better than the Moot grunts, which are like level 30(being generous) mercs/barbs with leather armor and one handed weapons.

More of a joke? The Keepers' NPCs are pretty good, I can't comment on the Empire/Guardians really, except it's like a giant hassle to get into Sith'a'niel while outlawed.

I've said it all over the place: no one more than me wants the summon routine to go away. Give the CoN access to normal priest spells. I'd also be in favor of changing the "trio" to resemble other tribunal NPCs: up their level, take away their supernatural hide, lessen their HP and make them equipable. Sounds good to me. (If this is done though, give the CoN a reasonable number of champ/GM NPCs. If not all three are champed, keep the others lower level with some changes. I'd hate to use them all together just because they look cool.)

On topic of of the original post:



I was afraid of that. Phooey.

I thought raiding taslamar was like raiding Fort Knox or something. Don't the NPCs there spam holy word and multiple NPCs per room? I've just heard that, but I've never seen it. Any truth to it? Not to mention, you have those warders that can etherealize as well.

A) No city is immune to gating into it.
B) MC has 4 good mobiles, the rest are low level hellion/merc NPCs that you can tear through cake-walk style.
C) The CoN NPCs are BOLTABLE. I'll repeat that: if you are too stupid to bolt the supernatural evil and do 20%+ damage to them a pop, you are a moron, especially when you get level 45 paladin NPCs.
D) Ayamao and Nerina should have the weakest mobiles, they are not warrior-nations like Taslamar or MC. CoN should be inbetween because its forces are, well, not exactly your standard fare.

Or do you people actually believe that the Hammer, Fist, and Druids don't help out said 3 nations while the Empire and Con has..oh wait, they have no one.

So please, hush. The game is so imbalanced towards the three western nations atm, I can't even believe this is a debate.

Grey aura merc with Losquez kicks Taslamar's face into the dirt, the end.

Whoever that is that posted before me, is like totally 100% right! The CoN needs to be buffer because they're fighting pretty much everybody.

The Guardian NPCs spam holy word, but they are extremely gimpy and die so quickly that it isn't even funny. I used to roll through Menegroth/Empire with my ele and Inzy.

I truly hope you're not serious when you say that. If you're not it's a funny joke, if you are...
