Subject: HENCHMEN to help speed up battleground wait.. |
| |
On the servers which have many more alliance than horde, and the alliance players have to wait for ages, until enough hordes are queued up for battlegrounds, why not create npc henchmen that fill in some of the missing numbers
eg.
500 horde waiting to get into Warsong
1000 alliance waiting to Warsong.
----half of those alliance players have to wait for ages, until there are more horde players on.
current solution: the players have to wait and do something else. if they go afk, even to get a coffee, they are disconnected from the queue.
possible solution:
the game creates 500 horde henchmen (to disperse evenly throughout all horde groups), and suddenly 500 alliance don't have to wait for an hour to get into battleground.
I know henchmen can never achieve the sophistication of a real player, but hunters have fairly effective pets, that are similar to npc's don't they? Just an idea...don't flame it if it can't work. Guild wars uses them to a decent extent. Like to know Blizzard's thoughts on this though and if they have thought about it.

We have absolutely no plans to my knowledge to implement PvP henchmen to "fill in the gaps". That would cause many problems on its own, and it is currently not under consideration.
