Day and Night Mobs

[DragonHunterG]

Something like that or I was also thinking it would be cool to see some sort of actual behavior from roaming creatures. Like they will go to a place and sleep during the night, maybe some will stay awake and keep watch over the others and if you attack them during this time, they will have higher attack/hp or whatever. little details that show life. instead they just plod back and forth between their established points, never deviate, never sleep, never move any differently.

hogs always notice you, drakes are blind and you can move around them as long as you dont run (same with some others), cobolds have sight aggro etc.

Decided to test this theory. Used Disciple of the Land, walked in front of the hogs in South Shroud. No aggro. Used Ninja and stealth, walked in front of the same hogs. No aggro. Not exactly true sight so far. As for the drakes, I set my movement speed to walking and strolled past a drake. Got aggressive when it looked at me. I'd love to be wrong on these points, but unless we're talking about very specific examples of these mob types, I've never encountered the same situation that you apparently have.

Are there specific exceptional enemies that have these aggro types?

Update: Okay, I found at least one good example of sound aggressive monsters. Jellyfish, such as Sea Wasps will aggro you even with their backs turned. I suspect the same may be true of some other waterkin enemies.

I think this is a great idea, would love to see it implemented.

I'd be nice, just don't make us have to kill day/night specific mobs for Hunt/Quest/etc.

This.

What this game REALLY doesn't need is more time/weather dependent content. When I log in I want to actually play the game, not waste my limited time waiting until I can do content.

day/night time mobs would be cool indeed.

I have always wanted a couple zones to have seasons as well, spring, summer, autumn, and winter with not only complete environmental changes but mob changes as well. Dont think that will happen though, but it would be nice.

We don't really spend much time fighting mobs anyway, so I'm not sure if most people would notice the change. 3.0 monster drop rates are so horribly low, while HP pools on mobs are so large, that I did almost all of my crafting material farming by sending out retainers on ventures. And while daily hunts send us out to kill certain enemies, maybe only 20% of the enemies in 3.0 show up as possible targets.

So while the idea is fun, they need to work harder not to trivialize open area mobs in general.

the dullahans in north shroud only react to sounds for example

FFXIV 1.0 had this feature. In certain locations at night skeletons would spawn instead of the mobs that were normally there. Was removed for ARR for some reason.

I would love this, personally, but it's related to something else I've noticed while playing - I think the day/night cycle changes too fast. It doesn't feel like night long enough and suddenly it's day again. Might be even more pronounced when there are day- or night-specific mobs, but I wish they would implement it anyway. The world would feel a little more reactive and surprising.
