Darkhold, could it be better?

[Lyndis]

Darkhold is fine as long as they don't make every dungeon like it. I would also prefer if they stopped making the entire area instanced. I like the idea of going into a dungeon and maybe having different branches instanced or maybe just the fights instanced. Maybe NMs that unlock instanced fights all inside the dungeon. Something unique, not these simple linear instanced dungeon runs.

Also, definitely fix the return to territory AI. It's not just annoying in dungeons, it's annoying everywhere else and nearly broken in some places like wolf camp in Natalan.

I could definitely be wrong but wasn't that originally implemented to limit the big summoner/mana burns because you can't chain the entire zone?
Now with EXP chains... I'm guessing it would be even worse if MOBs didn't return to their territory
Imagine killing 60 MOBs at 1 time... all at 150% bonus EXP

Mobs returning to their area is not a big deal to me... Its foreign for me, but its a mechanic I got used to. Instanced dungeons, however, just irk me. I don't really get the point. I enjoy the beast men strongholds, good ol' farm up a key and open the chest. You can give more of a mission/repeatable quest to those areas by adding cutscene spawnable nms. The end bosses of those cares could only spawn by certain conditions, from a ???, or inside a battlefield area. Battles should be battlefields, dungeons should be open leading into battlefields. Yeah, I like that. And why don't the chests move!?

You'd just fight them in territory like most powerlevels does. (It's risky because of repops killing lower level people.) As for summoner/manaburn, no this wasn't in response to that because it continues in Abyssea with Fellcleve/Charged Whisker burns -- mobs have very, very short leashes in this game.

Whatever the reason... I don't want to see people training 80 MOBs across Thanalan.

Now in a dungeon, i agree.... especially if the dungeon is instanced... the MOBs should follow you indefinitely
