Ridiculous beastmen behaviour

[Deifact]

In very early V1.0 monsters were pretty intelligent, certain aggressive monsters would attack other monsters, groups of monsters would attack people. It was much more like a real ecosystem. People complained that their behaviour was too confusing and they were nerfed to just stand around doing nothing but waiting to die.

That must be a damn joke :/ It is really said how downhill it went then, if that behaviour is confusing, then something is wrong with those people finding it confusing.

I'm all in for bringing better AI to the game.

What I find most puzzling is that in the central shroud there are a ton of mobs, just outside a starting city, that have joined agro. You can just walk around and see the agro lines between them. But oddly, as you get further and further from the start of the game you see this less and less. Generally the argument against linking mobs is that it makes life harder for newbies and the solo minded players. Yet here we have the exact opposite mind set. Even if they don't bring back the intelligence of the ai, it would be nice to see more linked enemies.

This is due to your current class level versus the mobs levels. I don't know by how much exactly but if the enemies around you are much lower level then they will link. If you were say.. the same or lower level then they wouldn't. Kinda weird.


And my apologies for double post.
