Okay, I actually became active for once and looked, and I didn't find anything. So here goes. I was wondering if sometime we could like, scrimm a NPC just for fun. I find it fun to take down bases. You could make the NPC any way you want, so that you could test out builds and stuff, and even add a no DP to the game. It would just seem cool to me. Mainly for whenever a person might get bored.

Yeah, that's going against something you have absolutely no control over. I'm suggesting that you're able to do w/e you want to the enemy NPC, like you do your heroes. So you could test out what builds do what and are most effective againt this and that. -_- And I also just like to have fun killing the archers and crap

huh? So you want to change GW which is a MMORPJ game into a tactics type of game like Starcraft? WTF? Why don't you ask so you can set up of max 30 vs 30 any type of heroes/hench you want with desired skills and go on a battle scrim like that? -,-"

Oh yeah.... killing dummies and condition NPCs is just SO fun. I'd much rather go against something of my exact choice >_> And I like taking down the bases. The archers, knights, body guard, guild theif, guild lord, etc.......

Then you should get a guild or an alliance member to scrim against you and knock yourself out.

As said in numerous threads that I have seen.....I don't waste someone else's time for me to have fun. And they can refuse at their will and also, no one may be on. Sheesh, you people don't use your heads, do ya? >.>

Hah, because RA is srius biznus. It takes luck, and that's all. It will never take anything else. It may as well be a testing area for the level of skill it takes to win it. Low End PvP serves as nothing but a giant testing ground for people who want to test builds, and for occaisonal entertainment for bored PvP/PvEer's.

To the OP-

I don't see the point in implementing something like this. If you want to test builds, you can already do it with guild mates using the scrimmage function, with the master of damage to test the effectiveness of it, or just go to Alliance Battles and test it on all the classes of the game.

Maybe some of us want to get glad points without spending a 1/2 hour forming a decent TA team?

Or wait, is that a dumb idea?

Seriously if you want glad points RA is horrible. But keep on playing RA for glad points, you'll have your glad title in about a year.

Got you. I mean, you should only RA with builds you stole dirrectly off the pvxwiki.
Creativity is not the "cancer" that is killing RA. Griefers, leavers, and bad players who invent their own build with mending and orsin of healing on a warrior are. Good players should be able to come up with valid, competitent builds on their own.

I'm not saying that, I'm saying, 90% of things people make up are God-awful, and it's pretty obvious, and people like that should stay out of PvP

Apparently you people do not see my frickin' point. I do NOT want to waste other's time for my own personal gain. In AB, I can't make someone do this and that the way I want them. They'll kill me if they get the chance. What I'm suggesting is a NPC thing on one of those scrimmage things. You can modify it and crap. The Master of Damage isn't set up a certain way. It's only for testing the DAMAGE of something. With the NPC, you could test anything you wanted to. Like, say.... Beguiling Daze on something. Come up with the best combo and skills most effective to render a monk useless and enough power to take him/her out, or nearly do so. You can't do that with the Master of Damage because it's not damage, he's just a person to test out DPS. SHEESH. I wish someone would be able to read around here.

Yo you ruined my fun, I got 3 glad point from it! Take a look at my wammo, he's so sexy!

And for your reference, it's kinda weird but not lame. The build I use, the 3 War and 1 Ele keep attacking me but they can not kill me lol. While if I use a real monk with proper build, I might not be able to survive lol due to massive kd and craps.

How in the HELL did a scrimmage based on a customamizable<probably spelled that wrong> NPC discussion go over to RA where a bunch of noob builds and crap are wrecking RA? -.-

Because it's the kind of people who want to 1v1 that are wrecking RA?
Isle of the nameless has everything you need to test the efectiveness of your build. and if you honestly need anything else, bug your friend into customizing a hero and scrimmaging you. Anet has already shown that they are busy with GW2, why waste what little time they're spending on updates with something like this?

Isle of the Nameless does NOT have everything you need to test a build. All it has different armour variations and condition NPCs. With this NPC, you could test how good you are against an ele or w/e. And listen to this you frickin' idiot. >>>>>THEY...MAY...BE...BUSY...OR...NOT...WANT...TO ...HELP...ME...TEST...OUT...EVERY...LITTLE...STRAT EGY...I...HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That post made no sense at all. What if I wanted to see how effective a build was against a degen ranger, or an earth tank? Isle of the Nameless does not have those things. And if you idiots would read, I do not like taking time out of my friends' time for my own personal benefit. I'm one of the very few people left that are supportive, caring, and think of others.

Then test it in ab, hunt for a ranger, or a earth tank. People run crap in ab all the time, so no one will mind you running a test build. Oh and if you have daze and disrupts that just about takes care of an earth tank.
Seems to me you just wanna 1vs 1, try a well rounded build then your problems will be gone.

Newsflash: Nobody takes RA seriously.

Another newsflash: testing against NPCs is woefully inadequate compared to testing against humans.

Final newsflash: RA is a testing zone, get over it.

OP- No.

Bad idea. I always use Isles of nameless to test builds. Besides what is the point of beings able to control who your playing. Can you ever control who you play in any type of pvp? And don't say you can test for pve because just go out and face them urself!!

It's so hopeless with you idiots. I want to test it against an earth tank, and rarely do you see a solo capper going around. I wana test it against a snare water ele, interrupt ranger, shutdown mesmer, minion master, shadow prison assassin, Isle of the Nameless has NONE of those things. And testing it against a NPC would be so much easier. That way, you don't have teams flooding RA with noob builds.

Too bad it's already flooded with nub builds. You probably should just get better friends that are willing to help you than waste your time with a bad idea and posting it on a forum to get shutdown.

People that whine "But t3h NPC's aren't as gud as humans!!!!", seriously, its not that much different, especially if you're testing a PvE build.

And, if you're running a build thats just Anti-Earth Tank, you don't deserve to test it anyway. Besides, if you're smart enough, you should be able to tell what will work and what won't just by seeing a skill bar.

Master of Damage NPC is just fine, and if you want to see if it can hold up against blocking, try Enchantment NPC, and if you want to test it on runners, Survival (is that correct name?) NPC
