There are just 3 major issues with npc IMHO: 1) no passangers on platforms 2) no loading passangers in to trains (patch 13.03?) 3) leaving train by all npc before departure (last/first station) DTG can you confirm you notice them and plan to fix them?
Hey - we're aware there are challenges with passenger behaviour. Whilst they're not at the top of our priority list, they are something we're looking to improve. There was an initial patch yesterday (for some platforms live today) which will have improved certain behaviours (details here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/patch-notes-march-14th.66548/), but it won't improve everything. I'm not able to give a time-frame at the moment for future improvements though, I'm afraid. Thank you for raising.
Thanks for reply. The problem I see is that your top priority will always be patching latest dlc release, then 2nd priority is patching previous releases, then releasing next dlc, and again patching it, and so on... Last patch 13.03 was a welcome release (addresing one of 3 npc problems) good for you, but Im afraid this growing emptiness on platforms and in trains finnaly will undertake your new shiny trains and routes, cose train are for people, without passangers trains are scrapped and forgotten. Cause make effect - passangers make trains.
sorry to say they need to be on the top of the list for this years core update npc's are a major part of the game as a very long time player and livestreamer for TSW the NPC's on this last patch have fixed the issue where they used to come off the trains and stand in front of the doors at long last can say fixed but we want to see in future a fix to them fully like when u start are service they on the platform waiting to go onto the train not come all rushing out of the train plus a mix of them coming and going onto trains across the network on all routes that have the Passenger services just look into a system that works for us all please the lack of understanding is clear and we all want the NPC's system to work pure u want it to feel real so please do look into this being something the team will start working on even if it takes us to septembers core update to have it ready to roll in just copy and pace over the npc system like u guys have done in the last 2 npc upgrades
