[dev1137] Caravan Security

[Xmbei]

Because it's real or as they stated the carts run off and you will have to reorganize to move forward? I don't know but honestly if caravan guards did their job correctly they would stop the menace from getting close enough to scare the chocobo's away and the caravan can keep moving. I know this is a irl scenario but caravan's don't keep moving when they are under attack and leave their guard behind, because they might be going into a trap where everything will be lost.

edit: also the fact that if it kept moving and took you awhile to kill the attackers then you would have to hunt down where the caravan went to and catch up... so that's why they have them stop so it is at the pace of the player, or party.

Very true as an irl situation. However the not-realistic situation often happens in other movies and games and makes it more exciting.
The cart stopping could get quite difficult though, if the enemies spawned at a constant rate the players would have to fight harder and faster to drive them off and continue, this could be good or bad, depending on how many players are involved...

Cool. Some content.

Guess Bombard Event was a rehearsal for this.

Further confirming you have been living under a rock for the past few months.

Well from a coding point of view, it's kind of similar.

Mobs attack Chocobo and chocobo loses health. This is a parallel with the Bombard who was attacked by Chigoes and lost health.

Chocobos can be coaxed back by clicking on them. Bombards could be coaxed by clicking on them.

Caravans will follow a set path (presumably) with mobs spawning during the process, which players fend off. Bombards did same thing.

Only difference is you didn't have to feed Bombards Gyshal Greens to keep them happy. For Bombards, you had to heal them, not feed them.

Ya, I would also like to see it scale in difficulty with the amount of "guard's" there is in the party! 1 player there is a decent amount of mobs but not unreasonable for 1 to take care of, but still a threat. Then with 4 people there is more mobs and a bit tougher! This is probably wishful thinking but it would make it fun, also if they had 3 or 4 different event lines for a escort mission so that it's not the same thing over and over again...

Ya sadly we will have to wait and find out, but I am having faith that they won't limit it in such away, time will let us know though, just we ALL need to have patience.

Lol I wasn't talking about that connect I was more refering to your comment about more content. Since we have been knowing these things were coming for the past few months.
