Guild Wars 2

NPC allies seemed to work so much better in beta (at least for low level missions). I remember on my human noble being able to kite mobs around and eventually get logan to pseudo-tank, which made missions very manageable. But in release I just have to way overlevel everything, because npcs die too quickly to get them to tank, and even if I wanted too their attack speed is so slow they almost never get the mob’s attention. They should just be removed so you have no false sense of security and say, “oh there are 14 mobs, but I have 3 npcs to help me out.” Or give us control of some allies, like they are pets, or like in SW:TOR, so we have some chance of making them useful.

Whether Logan did it because of love, compulsion or because of duty, imo, is immaterial. He saved a critical political tactician who seems to be the tenuous thread that could bring all the races together to fight the elder dragons. If he hadn’t, she’d be dead, and yes, there would be one less elder dragon in the world. I mean, during the Cold War, would you sacrifice your President so that Russia would have one fewer nuke and then go “Oh, thank goodness, we can only be nuked 3 times instead of 4, that makes such a big difference! Too bad no other country will help us go get those other 3 though, since our President (who was the only reason countries were aligning with us) is dead now.”
