Forget what I said about the kin working. If she's not the first to be picked up she too bugs out and follows enemies mindlessly.
Well I won't be playing your arc because of the xp drop I suggest you wait until the devs fix the ally situation properly.

Because many people used allies as an exploit (several bubblers buffing the PCs and making them impossible to hit), experience has been decreased for each ally you put in a mission (this is in addition to any damage an ally does to mobs).|

The devs have said they'll have a real fix for this in the next issue. You'd probably be best off waiting till then and see what the fix entails.
I didn't realize that. I have noticed that XP comes faster in a normal mission but I thought that was just an AE thing in general. Thanks for the info all, I'll look into the viability of getting rid of the NPCs.
I think you may be allowed one per mish
I think
After that they act wonky
How much of an XP nerf is 1 NPC? What is this upcoming "Fix" going to be?

Hey all, I'm creating an AE mission where there are 2-3 helper NPC's with custom powersets that help the player with the mission. My problem is that if you only have one NPC they use all their powers all the time, once you've picked up the second one of them bugs out and stops using their powers.
The behavior is that they stop using all powers except auras and auto-follow the player until the player aggros enemies. At that point you can see the NPC auto-following enemies...but not doing anything to them.
The NPC's in question are all controllers, and as part of their story they're not allowed to do damage. So their powersets are all things like the AOE controller hold, ice slick, etc and secondary powers like radiation, bubbles, and kinetics. The kinetics is probably the least broken. She rarely bugs out, I suspect because everything she does she targets an enemy for.
Anyway, if anyone has suggestions I'd love them. I've been juggling powersets for a while to find a fix but as I type this my fire/rad is mindlessly following an NPC around and I'm frustrated. Thanks in advance!
