Outrunning Aggressive Mobs

[Mikita]

Yeah, I had to solo some grand companies quests that caused me to venture into a part of The Black Shroud that one shot me when I went the wrong way on the map. It felt good to finally get aggro that keeled me... odd I thought I would never say that. Anyways, it still took quite some time into gameplay before I stepped onto dangerous territory.

There are quite a few areas filled with monsters that can easily take out a full party of level capped players.

There also used to be a peiste that would sometimes hang around the gate to Ul'dah and one-shot people... or the Ogre along the way to the ferry dock, or the Goobbue a bit northwest of Camp Bearded Rock. Unfortunately they are gone now.

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.

Only thing I don't like sometimes are a mob's territory zone area...if it's too small. I had to solo one time, and tried picking off aggressive enemies and pulling them just far enough away where I wouldn't aggro the others, but it was tough if I ran a hair too far and they'd give up and run back. And it wasn't even that far from where I nabbed them!

Their territories seem to vary by type of monster. I've been chased pretty far by the big hogs in Mor Dhona. ^^;

I'm not a fan of this personally. I like that the enemies return to their region. Feels more convenient and modern, I don't want to be harassed when I'm just trying to get to my destination. There are plenty of enemies that require care when passing by because they'll 1 shot you and that's plenty of danger for me.

I wish I could hate you bald.

you on the mob's land and it wants to kill you.

At one point though if you run to far then you are clearly causing them to leave their fort unguarded which would allow others to invade without having to deal with said enemy lol.

That's why they chase you, yes, but why would they chase you across the whole region? Unless they're very desperate they wouldn't chase you that far.

Why do bears shit in the woods?

Why do bears shit in the woods?

Because those treebeard Earth first hippy bastards keep standing in the way of progress and as such, there is no shopping center in the middle of the 100-arce woods for the Bears to utilize?

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?)

[Niqote]

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