Are they going to add new features to the game?

Afaik the NPC idea came from TeckXKnight here:

I really can't remember that there was a connection made with having Towers and using NPCs - but it's been a time ago as PainHertz said...so i may be wrong

[spectacle]

towers with NPC guards/Archers in them.

wait... what? I thought the devs were against NPC's? or was that somethings someone else was talking about?

The tower guards won't be regular NPCs, as in characters that appear on the screen, but "implicit NPCs" that we can't see or interact with but know must be there for things to work. An existing example are the invisible guys who mind the vending stalls.

The guard towers would essentially be sentry guns that shoot at any enemy in range, but since there are no robo-gun technology in h&h, we know it must be NPC's up there shooting, even if we can never see them.

That's the chat. Figured "someone" logged it.

that was to deny your bullshit claim like this one↓

Nope, that's direct from Loftar, part of the siege system overhaul. Granted from 3 months ago and i think he was just tossing around ideas....

An automatic tower is an npc, also if isn't a chara. Is an Automated Thing that Work while you're offline, so is like an npc.

I'm not against this, but i don't see the point on say if is an npc or not. Maibe isn't a chara, but it work like an npc so ther's no difference.

i know what you mean, Flame, but saying "towers with NPC" as "direct from Loftar" is bs, giving others a wrong idea.
