Hey guys,

I am planning to make smart npc/creatures. After some time these would resemble real players. Firstly I was going to use them as a duel replacement for offline private servers, summoning and fighting these npc would resemble fighting a real player at various difficulties, well to the best possibility of them acting like a real player.

 

What I want to do with this in long term is be able to start arena and battle grounds with these npc. Well arena will be used only as the opposing team, as “Playerlike bots” which were made by someone else would be you 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 partners, which you can control making it convenient, just would need polishing up on the skill usage and making them more playerlike. However the idea is to just que for battlegrounds/arena and you will join a match full of npc/creatures. This has been used before by blizzard in “mop” where you would have npc in battle ground fighting besides you and capturing objectives, another kind of relative example would be the Faction Champions in the Trial of the Crusader, ofc the npc I’m ideally trying to make would use all their abilities more effectively and be playerlike as possible. This would require scripting in order to be able to join the bg / arena with them and also scripting for their behaviour in game (objectives), even if it would be possible to do it for the more simple battle grounds then that would be great as battle grounds like strand of the ancients might be difficult to script, but some might be much easier like warsong gulch or arathi basin. If the Battlegrounds don’t work out as it would be too hard or are unreal then it’s fine as the arena should be as good.

 

So what I was thinking to do with arenas is either just script so that you que and are joined to a game with random class/spec npc. Other options I thought of could be using something similar to the ring of blood quest or the brawlers guild where the npc will be spawned though the arena master npc, giving option to do 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5. This should be much more possible to script and also easier as it will be based on already in game content, just needing to change it about. Also this idea could be used to other wow projects by the players, giving the option to choose who they want to fight, instead of going dungeons, so basically brawlers guild but player custom. Making this an awesome feature to que with mates or bots.

 

So I was wondering what are your thoughts on this areana/Brawlers guild thing. Would it be possible? And if so how?

If someone could be capable of doing this then I’d love to help with this in any way I can.
