Mobs & Line of Sight

[OrbitzXT]

I think the way mobs aggro is ridiculous. If you basically are within a certain perimeter they will know you're there and aggro you. You should be able to hide behind certain objects and they'll leave you alone. Noises of course could and should alert them to your location.

i agree

Thats the "advanced AI", they can see through walls... :D

Isn't that how halo 3 was designed? mobs couldn't see you unless you were in view, or maybe it was something else idk

but yeah, that would be nice, i'm sick of goblins chasing me all over the place just because i got within a mile of one

[End Dream]

i agree.. i like the challange.. but it often dosent make sence

[Voodoo Hoodoo]

Mobs don't seem to be able to perceive players through solid obstacles like small hills. Are you sure it's not because of noise generated by footsteps?

I know when I hear footsteps solo I stop and check it out..

[vicious Warg]

I think obstacles do help , I was travelling solo through a swamp and I stopped to rest by by a tree, I heard footsteps in my headphones , so I started panning around looking for the expected ganker.

I saw a Ogre walking towards the tree I was behind, it walked right up next to the tree and stopped, stood there for 10 sec or so , and then walked off again.

It seemed like it had heard my footsteps and came to investigate, or i suppose it may of spotted me and then lost sight of me.

Using crouch walk i can easily get close to mobs and pull out single ones. You do realize they can hear you as well as see you right? If you are running they will know.

I find the AI in this game to be really dumb... its just attack.... run a bit and then attack... or attack till HP drops to say 25% and then they just run around randomly untill you kill them! :lmao:

wel, its not as 'dumb' as a normal pve game such as lotro where one single mob will fight you to the death with a stick.;)

personally I find it much more of a challenge than the norm.

Well, it actually runs to go for help. I found myself in situations were I got quickly surrounded by unfriendly mobs called back from the one I was beating upon. Maybe this feature is only on a little more advance mobs, I don't recall anything similar in goblins.

I actually see players in PVP just as dumb. So I guess they designed the AI on those guys:lmao:

[Jhael]

It's like the mobs have the same warning system as clans when somebody enters their clan city. Get freaking rid of it. Both of them, in fact simply because they are unreal.

[Traveller_]

??? I can sneak on mobs all right...

[fr0g]

You can already sneak up on mobs, the problem is as soon as you hit one mob once, all of them come running. With the exception of the one mob you attack who usually takes off in the opposite direction if you hit him with ranged. Then after you kill all of them, more of them spawn before you can loot the ones you just killed. :rolleyes:

[shansiro]

who told you mobs dont communicate with each other?

you are not the only one with ventrilo server ya know..

:lmao:

[yuppy]

at least they can't shoot thru walls
