It doesn't work.
It shouldn't take me 15 attempts to get AF done just because the game thinks I'm running when I'm clearly not.
Please change the way sound aggressive monsters work until you fix your servers.

Well, some enemies detect by 'true sound', so walking only halves their detection radius. Maybe that's the case?

or maybe they just aggro sight :| walking only work with detection by sound, isn't a general law

Guardian Trees and Spriggans. I know that feel, just gotta "take it slow."

its just some bugs but maybe you ran into monster that agro sight ._.???

Usually walking behind a monster does the trick, but we have other factors like server lag to attribute these agro problems to.

You can press x (i think) to put a little man icon there that ensures you walk but i use chat specific keyboard so typically half press the left stick and then press automove to lock the speed.
the only time i ever have issue is when it occasionally glitches if I aggro a wolf or something and a tree links....... -

ya x makes you go into walk mode, I myself have never encountered a bug with this mechanism.

Important things:
1) When you change to passive mode, wait about a second for the game to register that you are, indeed, in walking mode. When you see the orange little walking icon next to your TP bar it is safe to start moving again. You are always running if you are in active mode so never move if you are meleeing next to sound aggro.
2) Walking while riding on a mount will aggro sound enemies, you have to get off your mount to avoid aggro.
Also what other people said, it probably is a different type of aggro. What enemies were they? -

Was it wolves? I think wolves are true sound, I can rarely sneak past a wolf. Are there other true sound mobs?

Most of the stuff there is sight, trees are sound, not true sound. The latency issues do lead to some of those problems with the servers thinking that even if your walking your running, it's because your position changes suddenly, when your client sends pos1, pos2, po3, pos4... if pos3 gets dropped due to latency you've just moved at run speed. Another thing, if your in a party the trees link, they shouldn't but they will. Get knocked back you just ran. There's a path though that solo you can walk w/o any but spriggan aggro and brings you up behind the wolves so you can grab the box before they aggro. G/L

Also, if you're an archer/bard, remember that having a song active means that you're belting stuff out at the top of your lungs. Sound mobs are going to be highly amused.

If your keyboard is set up for chat only format use number pad to the right>>> "Num Lock" + 1 = walking mode...

Never seen enemies aggro to songs, as well. Would have noticed it by now if they did >.>Quote:

06-05-2012, 07:55 AMEnfariousDidn't know they fixed the trees, I seem to remember them linking with wolves not all that long ago, but I could be wrong. The knock back isn't an issue if you aren't moving when it happens, that's why fighting Buata is safeish, if you get knocked back while walking is when the problem arises, like if a frog snatches you.Quote:

06-06-2012, 03:16 AMEstelliosThat's really weird then lol, I have played BRD around Turning leaf and cast swiftsong whenever we are moving no matter what is around and have never died. Maybe it's a bug that ghosts aggro.Quote:
