Can we get the escorted NPCs to move faster? Or at least during the prison break portion. An increase of their movement speed would hopefully allow getting out before the NPCs at the gate respawn.

Plus it seems quite silly to casually stroll out like we currently have to do, when it is supposed to be a prison break to begin with.

An alternative suggestion would be to increase the respawn time of the gate NPCs or increase the escorted NPCs' level to 90 to give them a better chance of surviving the gate area being cleared on the way out

Thank you for the feedback. The slower movement speed of the escorted NPCs was intentionally designed to add challenge to the quest and encourage group play. With one or two friends assisting, the prison break can be completed fairly reliably, even with the current pacing.

That said, we understand how the slow pace can feel a bit awkward given the theme of a prison escape, and the alternative ideas you suggested are reasonable. This is something we can take a look at, but with a very full development schedule it likely won’t be something we can adjust anytime soon. Even small changes to escort behavior can have wider impacts on quest flow and require thorough testing to avoid breaking things.

We appreciate you taking the time to share the feedback.
