Petition: Bring back mob AI!

[Jynx]

Not every feature added to the game is a good one and not every feature removed from it is a bad one.

My mind has been blown.

My point was it made the game harder.....

Frankly I kinda liked it, but as the Dev said AoE tagging really made things a pain. Maybe if they implemented something like a startle tactic that would scare nearby unclaimed mobs away from the target when you engage it, somewhat similar to how Capricious Cassie scares Trents off when she does a breath move. It doesn't have to be for all mobs, but perhaps just for curious mobs that used to follow you around.

Oh god this game need Antlion style monsters again. I remember running through attowah chasm the first time and then getting dropkicked by a antlion....

*edit*

But I doubt we will ever see it, the community is it's own worst enemy in this game.

We had the fledgling AI in the game.
Community: DAMN MONKIES FOLLOWING ME Nerf it!

We had monsters who were stronger but gave better exp per kill.
Community: I killed a lvl 40 doremouse and it gave me less SP than a lvl 40 eft! NERF IT!

Didn't know if a monster was agressive until we found out for ourselves.
Community: I need to know what level / agressive non agressive of everything evar!

Do you think people would respond well to something like a monster that is hidden from sight until it attacks unless you pay attention?

Monsters that build a grudge? The community will have a heart attack because it makes the game harder or make you actually pay attention. The only way people would tolerate it is if it was only in a small instanced zone screw that open world junk!

*sigh*

This is probably the biggest thing hurting this game. Almost makes me think we should never have gotten a forum. Just kinda makes this issue stand out much more.

I guess people just want the mobs to stand still and get slaughtered. Many don't even pay attention to the small portion of mob behavior SE left in the game, like different aggro types. I'd love to see more elaborate monster AI because then the game at least had some challenge.

Hell I'd be slightly happy if they brought back blood agro even. Not like people spend any time in the "Yellow and red" though recovery from battle is so lightning quick these days.

People cant handle waiting for anything so waiting for health is a NONO.

People LOVE THE AGGRO ICON! You can't take that away(I tried) lol

Depop would be stupid .....
