Sneak/Invisible mobs??? Why not?

[Varazslo]

So, it seems the mobs can and do cast every spell available to players aside from sneak and invisible. Why is that? Some should be able to cast sneak/invisible too. You could have weaker mobs using it to try to avoid you. Or NMs trying to hide from you. Or tougher mobs using it to sneak up on you. Just think of the possibilites!!

Just imagine walking along, and you see just footprints coming towards you... You think it's just another player when -BAM- it becomes visible and attacks!

Although it would be fun, too many people would cry about it.VNMs are "sort" of like this, although most people just use aps i think anymore to find them. Neat idea, but i think the amount of complaints about either not being able to find the mob or random mobs attacking would make SE not implement this. Several other games I have played have mobs that are stealth and it is soooo funny to watch someone get randomly owned when a stealth mob decides to say hello .

Manananggal, and to a lesser degree some Lumorians (Phuabo, Yovra).

Generally I'd be open to more of it if I didn't know it would cause epic amounts of rage among people.

You guys also forgot to mention Chigoes. Yeah they aren't exactly invisible, but those tiny buggers are hard to spot sometimes.

Shikigami Weapon and the NM in Abyssea tahrongi Canyon aren't Invisible mobs?

how would sneak be remotly important? It's a visual game.

Mob footsteps and growls for the people who play in first person, brah

No thanks, any casting type mob level 25 and up would be invisible all the time, and if they're untargetable like Shiki then it'll suck for XP parties. Hell even if they are targetable running around trying to find them would be a huge pain in the ass.

Think of it as a RNG/BST buff. Wide Scan would become the only way to find any mobs ever. That is, until they jump you. Oh and invisible linking mobs. Bringing Fear back to Final FEantAsRy XI since MMXI.
