Petition: Bring back mob AI!

[Mrfox0707]

Now that the game has changed again. I really like the OP's comment. I also liked how an aggressive mob would warn you when you got close.

Signed. I thought it was great having the sheep get in my way... makes you think about your next step lol

I noticed there are still some of that AI left in the game while hunting nodes, they should add more things to it though.

They actually changed alot of monsters to sound agro to "walking" efts used to agro even if you walked near them and go into Alert stance and you had to go to a dead stop. and if they touched you...boom agro.

Now I can walk clear through sound mobs...lol.

Not all of them though, some aggro if you come too close to them too. So, a combined sound/sense aggro (not sight)

I still blame the rushed release for the lack of unique AI, though that doesn't explain why they removed what already was in the game.

Those guys are what most people have coined "True sound" a good number of mobs have this mainly in the higher ranked nodes (Usually only a issue if your going for the get all the nodes achievment) But they don't agro to "Touch" per-se they will agro in the same sound range that other sound mobs would agro if you were running.

If you walk you actually get a bit more lee-way with the distance you can close but not much and usually by the time it takes to slowly saunter around a monster he has a good chance of moving himself too close to you.

I'm happy more people are seeing this thread

Actually, all drakes are simple sound aggro, but if you trip over bushes of grass while walking, they will hear it.
Avoiding true aggro mobs like Pugots is nearly impossible in the shroud, especially with mobs hitting you when you're yalms away from them... but those are the only pesky ones.

Something I would like to see is more interaction between the different mobs in the zones. The specific idea I had came to me while I was farming Karakuls by Camp Glory. I noticed from time to time tat Uraeus would roam by. I thought to myself how cool it would be if there was 1 Karakul that woud spawn in the path of Uraeus and when he came by he would just gobble that little guy up.

Just an idea

Kinda like in FFXIII mobs would fight each other (same with XII) and the FFXI original concept that certain mobs would actually eat their food source, i.e Goobbues would eat Mandragoras.
