- Proposal
- Root the escort NPCs for the "Rescue Survivor" mission when the zombies are actively attacking the escort, let them continue running when the zombie dies.
- Justification
- The "survivor" AI is more brain-dead than the zombies, flopping around like a headless chicken the second a zombie taps his health bar and attracting every enemy not only in the immediate area but a bit beyond it as well.
- Motivation
- We just tried to do this mission. First two survivors were frustrating but doable. The third has a deathwish. You'd think someone who survived in the apocalypse that long would have a greater sense of self preservation and know when to sit still and let the professionals keep him safe. A nice bonus would be making the escort NPC not subject to our own AOEs so we can more actively clear the area if you're feeling merciful. I'm open to other ideas to solve this problem but at this point the guy is just asking to die.
Escorts are always the worst part of any MMO but the story demands it, ya'know?
