I will personally murder anyone who says anything negative about Adventuring Fellows.

If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fuck up.

LOL

The only good that can come from this is if they consider summoned pets/avatars/puppets etc as NPC and can also be buffed!

Hey we got a fellow +10hp/mp cap in Tavnazia. Now it will actually be put to use!

You need to let this thread play out naturally. I have a bet to win with ronin sparthos from the last update announcement thread.

Overruled. WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS

No, you are overruled. (Until Sono or someone else unlocks it.)

Wow you must not like posting here.

Also, unlocking. Stop bitching people.

[Spoony Bob]

As much as I love my NPC, I sincerely hope there are more changes related to them than the few in the little info tidbit today. Glad to see they haven't completely forgotten about the fellowship NPCs though.

First post after the unlock. Yay insomnia.

[Ryko]

Lame At least SE remembered something that was actually somewhat enjoyable 2 expansions after the fact, good for them I guess.

If we get nothing of real use this update it'll count as a good half a year since anything worthwhile has shown up from SE.

[Frenzy]

Also notice the first part of the announcment, they have made adjustments and additions and wish to tell us about some of them.
That seems to implied that there is more they haven't told us about yet. Question is, how big is the rest of the changes (new emotes? new quests to make NPC callable in the past?).

as if ToAU areas arent enough packed allready...

They just need to make other areas more attractive with better Signet and Sigil benefits. It seems that it was never really planned that players have the benefits of Sanction with AC in Al Zhabi all the time. But that's how it turned out, so they need to come up with better Bonuses in other areas. Packed Colibri and Flan camps shouldn't be a reason not to have fellow NPCs in ToAU though.
Anyway i'm really looking forward to the next update. Finally i can switch my NPC to Great Axe.

Hot, a beta test for buffing pet jobs.

[Reapz]

Don't get me wrong I like my npc, I have had it at 65 for forever I just don't think it deserved a spot on POL news, they could have just left it to the version update notes. Maybe expecting job adjustments/nyzul weapons/new avatars and then seeing this wasn't the right way to go about it I guess

[AzazaelFenrir]

Yes Please.

Guess I will get my signal pearl back out now.

[Lyramion]

Yay Fellow adjustments. Man the Fellow times were so awesome - always had a reason to hang out somewhere with friends and gather lots of seals meanwhile =^.^=


I am happy my little friend finally gets some attention by SE. I sort of lost interest in leveling him at 62 - this changes will help me get back my interest. Thank you SE <3

I for one welcome our NPC's 'forgetting' how to AOE WS's and trying to kill us.

The fact they're fixing little shit like this actually has me much more interested in what we haven't been told yet. I'm also optimistic that the thin content means the next update is potentially massive, and they don't want to release do much and then have to scale it back like they did for like, all of 2007.

I mean, how many people would be pissed off if they announced "The next version update will contain new relic weapons" and then "Due to balance issue's, the new relic weapons will be implemented at a later date, bought with a bazillion chocobucks, allied notes, and 2 10k pieces of Ancient currency. "
