Kupipi does nothing unless she's meleeing. Can she behave like WHM NPCs, WHM monsters, WHM adventuring fellows, Light Spirit (i.e., every CPU WHM except automatons) and heal/buff even when not engaged? She's horrible as she is.

For the love of god, get these GD NPC's out of the wildskeeper reives...the lag is ridiculous! >.<

And what about our own fellowship we lvled for hours ?

Greetings,

With the advent of the Trust Initiative there have been quite a few comments regarding adventuring fellows, and below is a comment from Akihiko Matsui in regards to this.

Matsui here.

I’d like to comment a bit about our future plans for adventuring fellows.

Increasing the level cap of adventuring fellows to level 99 and having item level support is by no means beyond our reach.

However, we also need to add adventuring fellow quests as well as add text and cutscenes for each race and gender, and this will require a bit more time than normal quests.

Currently, we are prioritizing the implementation of Adoulin missions, new battle content, and job adjustments, and there is still a lot of content that we’ve decided needs adjusting, so it’s difficult at the moment to create the quests for these right away.

Similar to the quests from level 70 to 95, we have been looking into increasing the level cap via the Magian system; however, there are also quite a number of people who are looking for more fellowship quests, and since this of course a benchmark where adventuring fellows will become level 99, I’d like to prepare the proper story quests.

Please give us a bit more time to look into the expansion of the adventuring fellow system.

Hmmm... so they can make a lot of cs for Trust but can't make 2 cs for the fellowship... it's Cait sith syndrome all over again.

Anyway, than you very much for the feedback.

Admittedly, you're making it sound a bit different than it really is. A quest for a Trust NPC, going by those we have thus far, is literally as simple as making some dialog for NPCs, throwing in some animations, and you're done. For all of the Quest ones there are no items involved, no fights, no real requirements, nothing, its as simple as talk to 2 NPCs, watch the CS, and you're done. Now, compare that to Adventuring Fellow NPCs which have quests that involve not just talking and animations, but then a range of areas you have to go to, battles that need be fought, more cutscenes there, and all of that, on top of the fact that like they said, they have to make special edits to it for every race and face that your NPC can have. To me at least it makes some sense.

I went in to some WKRs as BLM and did the usual thing of nuking the boss with its opposing element. Of course since I didn't physically engage the boss, my Trust NPC did absolutely nothing. I know that's how Adventuring Fellows act as well, but I think it's a bit of an oversight that using offensive magic or taking damage doesn't trigger action from the NPC.

I started a similar thread in general discussion

My thoughts on trust system are there if anyone cares to read em.

I'm pretty disappointed that these Trust NPCs are being given more thought than our own Fellows NPC. Where is the final Limit Break so they can reach lvl 99? Whatever happened to expanding the areas where we can summon them? Why can't we summon them now right alongside the new Trust NPCs? I am enjoying Trust magic, but you're doing our Fellow NPCs, as well as the players, a great disservice by completely ignoring them.
