    NPC damage to be increased by 10% ... can the CMs confirm?

    Rumors are starting to fly that due to the increased damage of Classified gear sets, NPC damage will be increased by 10% in 1.7. Any truth to this CMs?

    What real difference would it make? They already shred players to bits in a matter of seconds. I've been 2 shotted before by npcs. Dying 2 seconds faster than I already do makes no difference.

    I did an all Stamina build, with all Stamina mods just to see what happen. If normally I get shredded between 4-6 seconds, with all Stamina I was getting shredded between 6-8 seconds. Maybe 9. So I stayed alive 3 seconds longer.
    Big woopty doo...

    No none, just a lot of chatter on game chat. Could be a load of BS but then again a lot of us expected this so I'd just like to know if there is any truth to it.

    Agreed, it just ruins PvP in the DZ to be honest. NPCs are everywhere and it just seems that no matter where you stop to fight you have NPCs hitting you from the side or behind and they only shoot non hostile agents. It is just ridiculous.

    Someone went rogue on us in the sports store tonight. A heavy walked down the escalator into the firefight, completely ignored the rogue, placed himself BETWEEN us and the rogue and then proceeded to rip us to shreds. We did eventually kill the heavy and the rogue but WTF.

    It's gotta be BS, but with Ubisoft, you never know. These are the people that give NPC sniper ranged shot guns.

    Sorry for the delay for anyone wondering about this - I was pretty sure this was false but wanted to triple check. There is absolutely no plan to increase NPC damage.

    How about putting stamina back in line with the other stats?

    is this the same type of denial as the "absolutely no plan" for a GS increase?
