Blade & Stars - Attack of the Dopplegangers!

The barmaid gets stuck all the time And as Cecilia says, lap-friendly. Awkward indeed.

Is this better w.r.t. wandering and duplicate NPCs since the May 21 update?

[Theodore01]

i would guess not, as just now there are 3 Mira Heiders and 2 Tristan Highmoor wandering at the North Gate of the Palace district

This is the first comment that NPCs are cloning in EXTERIOR areas of BG, which have not been changed since BG got its major overhaul two-plus years ago. I did not adjust exteriors.

How about interiors, such as Helm and Cloak Inn, Blushing Mermaid Tavern or the Elfsong Tavern?

NPCs have been cloning in exterior areas for quite some time (from the same time as the OP). I've just learned to ignore it best I could, and I seldom enter BG through the Palace District gate... I get creeped out with all the duplicates stuck there.

And what's even odder is that often, the NPC Clone Posse gathers at the northern Gate of the Palace District.

All bunched up like sardines in a can.

[Duster47]

After numerous adjustments, I believe these issues are all resolved. Marked closed.

Are they, are they?!

Awesome to hear Duster! This was, frankly, driving me insane.

There was one dude with a lantern inside, someone sitting on a chair which is not there, a duplicate sitting on the wrong side of a real chair.

Hidden: show

The 'best' was when an NPC got stuck walking against Telia's chair and I tried to have her stand up and push him away. Then another NPC insta-spawned in her seat. Mid-RP. Needless to say, I said I would not acknowledge the stuck NPC or the chair thief.

Another memory is of the NPC on the upper floor in the Blade and Stars who kept opening the doors when you were having a meeting with someone.


I shall keep my eyes open for when this update goes in!

Ran experiment in East Gate Interiors. Partial success. Less wandering is happening. They stand still, which was objective of that change. Uncertain about spawn quantity.
