When in following mode, NPCs will follow you and engage with mobs only if you attack them first.

When in leading mode, NPCs will progress through the dungeon by themselves, acting like a normal group would.

Comment by DLChaosNow if they can just do raids with a full NPC group I would be very happy. I'll be able to do the raid quests and take my time to learn the mechanics. Plus I don't need to wait on others and just grab a beer and enjoy the raid.Comment by overthinkerI hope Blizz will one day push this to be Heroic Mode, but do a Timewalking function for legacy dungeons and raids. Push you down to the ILV to still make them hard like putting the player in full Heroic Dungeon ILV for Normal Raid level and so on up to mythic mode.

I wonder if you can put the AI on follow you mode and maybe do the speed run Challenge Mode to get the WoD weapon mogs?Comment by Odie20XXFunny how everyone references FF XIV, whereas my mind immediately went to Guild Wars.
In that game you were even able to control the skills your "henchmen" (as they were called there) use and tell them where to go.Comment by JuntxisWhats the point of this if you dont get any somewhat good loot from it. Another good idea wasted like battle pets and lfrComment by rhostamDefinitely excited about this. Is different solution to a similar problem SWTOR tried to solve. I’d love it if the followers were actually from the rosters of our own from various xpacs; eventually.

I like to explore and learn and play dungeons organically rather than watch YouTube videos and install plugins and plow through content. I’ll do it, but is not fun. More importantly my friends are not quick learners and aren’t the fastest at encounter uptake. So they would get kicked out of groups. Of course, I’d have to join them. :(

Now we can have AI party members and I can take my time to play and they can learn the counters and building confidence.

I just hope this doesn’t destroy what little social aspect to the game there is (even if it should be optional anyway … cough cough not force people to suffer easily elitist or irritable folk just to advance story lines).Comment by TyneicPeople will probably rage at me for saying this, but it's quite a similar thing ff14 does already, and it's a happy change to learn mechanics as posted earlier tooComment by Rustic4I like this. Maybe now I can learn to heal without making someone mad.
