Guild Wars 2

An idea just dawned on me that instead of relying upon us the players to man the canons,why not have the hylek NPC do it. We would still have to defend them and keep them alive, we would still need to clear mobs, fingers etc from them, but we wouldn’t have to rely on the player manning it to not be a troll. If we waste a full 15 minutes to get nothing it won’t b the fault of the afk guy on the cannon but due to our own inability to keep him alive. If a cannoneer goes down a PC could take over till he is rezed, but he woudl always take priority to be on it.

I don’t think the NPC AI can handle ground targeted skills, and they’ll need to be able to know how with three of the turrets skills using that mechanic.

I like this idea. Canoneers already getting a lot of grief which I think may be unwarranted.

Either way, this would fix it.

LOL. I actually like that idea a lot, because I hate gimmicky fight mechanics that have nothing to do with your character. “Quick, learn this brand-new skill. You’ll never use it ever again!” I’d much rather play my character, thanks.
