Outrunning Aggressive Mobs

[RahJah]

[QUOTE=Mikita;733500]A bit of danger (especially at night) would be kind of nice IMO, but we still need to make it possible for DoL to get around if they don't want to fight, and keep travel between the main cities fairly safe even for new players.[QUOTE=Mikita;733500]

I am glad you brought this up. If non-battle job (DoL or DoH) can run across the map with only "A bit of danger" where is the challenge in that for DoW or DoM? We should have to travel in groups of 2 or 3 to get to the first party camps. FFXIV could learn a thing or two from FFXI in this aspect. This game is WAY too fluffy when it comes to travel. Don't get me started on the teleports that are spoon fed to us like infants. Teleports that are every 200 yalms in this game to cater to "casual" gamers. "Casual" gamers are the ruin of FFXIV.

Further, we don't need to buy maps to explore! I used like hunting coffers for maps, or needing to take a couples of buddies to go keel something for a map.

Anyone remember when there were antlings on the way to Drybone?

And chocobos hadn't been invented?

(does anyone remember how much ass it sucked?)

Yes, yes I do, if people want danger, then they can go damage their equipment in the "short cut" to drybone. go right ahead ! If I am feeling adventurous, then I try to finish getting my aeths or the camps. That is plenty difficult. You cannot access the whole map unless you're very careful. That takes some skill and time (to wait for certain mobs to move or turn away) If you want adventure, go do primal battles, go do +12 leves, go looking for high level mobs.

right now theres no point of going in those stupid areas... hence theres no point of even exploring it >.>- the adventure should be from city to city- where it should be though getting there.

Go get your map exploration achievement. (won't be available in 2.0 after map redesign)


Black Shroud is a great place for that sense of adventure. And I agree, why would a mob follow you across the map if he is defending his territory... he would go back to defend his territory. And also, there is a low level leve that you do with moles that DO NOT stop running after you. You can go all the way back to the camp and they will happily oblige your wish for adventure lol.

[Niqote]

No... It makes more sense that if you get far enough from their territory that they will go back to continue defending it.

Oh dear God... I remember when me and an LS mate had to go to the basement for a quest and he ad no idea the Crawlers were aggro or linked. I stopped at the ledge and was applying my sneak/invis when he just leeroy'd into the entire godamn 2nd room. Molested by not less then a dozen crawlers while screaming for me to "Get down here and help!"

I was laughing so hard I had to stop playing for a few minutes.

Actually, that's something this game is missing... I would certainly like to get me some death music up in here.
