Outrunning Aggressive Mobs

[Escaglowne]

if you remember in XI, you have mobs that tracked on several different senses, as well as agro. Its no different here, Ants agro sound as they should, so you can just walk past them, and most other things agro sight. If a mob that tracks by sight looses you... why should it not just loose interest. Thats what they did in XI. Also although there are no scent tracking mobs in XIV as there were in XI, when a scent tracking mob like Orcs... for example agro you could simply run through water like you could do IN REAL LIFE wonderful concept and they would stop chasing. Just saying ^^

From the title alone, I thought this was a topic about Yoshi-P outrunning the FF14 community.

Please stop trying to bring back horrible concepts from FFXI to FFXIV.

Personal opinion. I personally liked the Sight/Sound/Scent/Blood/Magic aggro system.

On that note, can we at least have Blood aggro back and more undead mobs loitering around?

[Miliant]

Right, it's just my personal opinion.
If you don't feel like fighting Lv 45 trash mobs you should just deal with it because they will chase you forever until you kill them or drop dead due to how stupid the concept is.

Yes, personally I agree alsonwith Alerith as follows:

Being able to outrun the aggressive mobs destroys the geographic progression of FFXIV. Does SE plan to change this for 2.0?

In FFXI we had to stand and fight or zone aggressive mobs. It created boundaries to how far a person could explore as they progress in the game. In FFXIV you can explore the whole map at the beginning of the game. It takes the adventure out of exploration because there is no real danger; you can't have an adventure without danger. I prefer the FFXI mechanics personally.

Idkbro, I still got to Rabao on a lv1 character.

This game is going to be battlecentric. The Devs already said that everyone is going to have to level a DoW and DoM to progress; I support this. You should have to fight for your right to explore the areas.

Each zone should have a level range of mobs (e.g. 1-5; 5-10; 10-15; and so on). That lvl range should increase with distance from the nation where we start.

If your character is not high enough to defeat the mobs in the area, the mobs need definite means to kill you. Design creative ways to make sure that mobs are defending their territory. Adding depth to mob range, speed, whatever you have to do to make these mobs defend their territory, the more depth the better. Put some thought into it.

At this current leveling speed, it would not take too terribly long to fight in one zone before you can move on. This way each zone would have places where people are parting and making good use of these maps that the Devs spent so much time and effort on.

Being able to cheat the system is what some people like to do. They want to jump on a chocobo before they die, they want to run out of mob range to stay alive, they want to flee instead of stand and fight so they can see the next zone without earning the right too, etc. It does cheapen the progression.

"You're not level X so you don't have the right to enjoy this area. Leave."

Seriously? This mindset is very immature. Again, even if a level 1 makes it to a level 50 area, there is nothing for them there. They go for exploration and adventure. What does this hurt? Are you really so upset because there's a level 5 in your level 40 area?

I want challenge that is all. Its not so much a matter of I work hard for my keep and you handed yours on silver platter. I want exploration to be earned not given.
