Sounds like stuff which will be added in the Kingdom Alignment update. (You can read about it on the trello.) It might come with the Nimbus sea update.
actually you’re right
I severally doubt wandering npcs will ever come back due to how many issues regarding framerate they brought up
also i think the kingdom and town alignment feature will make towns feel more alive since that’s vetex intention with the feature anyway
not even fucking kidding by the way
dynamic npcs were a really irritating addition that was only cool for like 10 seconds until it became unbearable and i’m glad they’re gone

The NPCs could do with… having animations.

now this, is a better alternative to dynamic npcs.
it’ll take time to animate, but like giving some of them cool animations would make them feel more like characters. it also doesn’t lag the everloving FUCK out of the game and you don’t have to wait for shitlegs mcreek to walk back to his stall just so you can buy some fucking fish bait
It’d be alot more complicated but there could be slight variations to each island with NPCs that are randomly chosen when a server startup that has NPCs in different places doing different things so that each island isn’t exactly the same every time you visit it.
I see. However I still think they should get a Little something So they don’t just stand around until the end of time. But I do see what you are getting at.
I would Agree waiting for the Npcs to get back to their respective shops is quite annoying. But what if only A few of the Jobless ones had animations. Do you think there could be a way around the Lag?
Whats up with you. You got a Problem?
this would actually be pretty cool for another stealth section
I just think it looks goofy when they stand over open space.
I think it would be cool to have a button for this to be turned on or off. Maybe like a cinematic feature.
I think uhhh blacksmiths huhhhh are animated uhhhh yeah uhhh thats dynamic
no my laptop will lag even more
It would need to be preset paths and probably client side only, else the servers would just die
This will bring a lot of lag because of all the extra physics that will be added into the game
The game already has a lot of optimization issues, and I know this better than anyone else because I played on a low end device for the first two months after game release.
You know, there’s a reason why many npcs need to have their joints disabled when they aren’t being interacted with. This will just add a lot more lag to the game and I don’t think people would want that
I imagined the cannon first dude mining with cannons now idk y
