20 second heavy while on mount, whats the point?

[Gralna]

Doesn't bother me much, use to playing other MMOs where as soon as you are attacked you're forcibly dismounted and cant remount till you either kill enemy or you run far enough to break aggro.

Course I'm also a bit surprised this game doesn't have any high lvl zones yet, we already have areas with "elite" mobs in the open world (giant marbols outside haukke manor). Don't really understand why they dont have an area that has these in abundance for lvl 50. Always remembered seeing these kinds of areas and knowing someone was strong by just by fact they were there while solo.

I just wish it had diminishing returns. It sucks getting to one or two seconds left and getting hit with another 20 seconds. Too bad it's not like virus where they get the one minute anti-body immunity.

Drives me absolutely crazy, especially multiple heavies in a row.

The purpose is so you can't just run through a high level area bypassing everything with your mount.

Then it doesn't serve its purpose since you can still bypass everything, heavy or not. Either make the world actually dangerous or get rid of heavy. The way it is now is just pointless.

just responding on OP

If they want to make open world enemies more dangerous they should have made them hit harder instead of giving them Heavy ability.

And what would be the point of harder mobs in the overworld when they don't give anything worthwhile? People would just teleport even more or run to the forums to complain over how hard everything is.

Harder enemies would be required for there to be worthwhile things in the overworld.

What is missing are some lv55+ enemies with ranged attacks that can 3-shot everyone who try to ride through them

There is nothing "dangerous" about an enemy who hits me for 25 damage out of my 6000+ HP making me go 50% slower for a while. It's just annoying. A forced dismount without the slow would, literally, eat up less of my time and be less tedious.

Or, you know, a game world that actually accommodates the power level of characters who are item level 90 the second they reach job level 50.
