Avatars that are summoned by an NPC?

WOULD SAVE THE GAME!

here you go how:

- when you start to build near an NPC capm (every one of them has a religion) their related Avatar would be summoned, and it would start to attack your placements.
- It should have 20 000 hp and should do 5 dmg / attack on structures
(its around 300-400 hits to kill it AKA 100 hits by a 3-4 man tea,. Till that he lands 500 dmg on your placements - basicaly you can conter it and repair until it respam)
- it should respam in every 30 minutes and to finaly lure out the NPCs from their camp would need to kill 6 Avatars so it would need a 3 hour non-stop controll over the place, constant fighting, repareing.

- of course the Avatar should have the same animation as it get summoned like we have it now, so ppl will know that a team is just working on to block an NPC camp
- it would be posible to block a camp or to make a base near or even in the camp, but it would need a massive 3 hours fighting repareing for a minimum 3-4 man team. (it would be not a confortable, instant trolling act)
- just one npc camp siege can happen in the same time, so no option for multiply troll siege attempts, to confuse the playerbase.

(maybe the Avatar that deffending the camps in the above mentioned way, can be a bit smaller then what we have now)

So the freedom of the world would stay! (you can build anywear)
Broken Avatar content would find it's real meaning : p
Blocking NPC camps would be posible, but when you do it the whol server would know that what are you up for (avatar summoned message) and the animation on the sky. So the playerbase can travel to the spot and conter your act - pvp hotspot!

How about this one, avatars that summon NPC thralls? to attack your base.

So you build up an altar, make thrall pieces for the avatar to summon thralls. while you summon the avatar. So if i had 50 thrall parts, i call a god, then start summoninng thralls.

Or we could simply just find another solution like a cart/wagon horse and carry thrall soldiers to the battlefield.

Just shooting a couple other ideas.

Since a thall inventory icon has a great weight, there could be a content to transport them true caravans or even by the Avatar.

My idea is focusing on the issue that influance not just all pvp servers, but the pve maps as well: the NPC camp blocking.

Thats a sensitive issue, since blocking a camp could be a tactical solution, and by disableing this option , the "sandbox" aspect of the game would be hurt.
From the other side, the existing methode is not a solution. Basicaly players need minimum effort to block camps, it's the haven of griefers, trolls that just running true all servers to plaxe a few t3 fundations to all major npc camps.
So that's why I decided this "siege" system, involving the avatar that would have a better purpose like this than the existing frustrateing griefing content.

You do know they plan on adding roving bands of NPCs that will attack your base?

The purge mechanic? lol in the end it's the bare minimum effort and it doesn't even work properly :P
