Can PvE become more interesting?

Kinda tired of surround the mob and spam click until it drops.

Can PvE become more interesting?

Yes.

Some mobs move around a lot which makes them interesting. Goblins, for example, flee, use ranged attacks, then regroup to charge you. Why dont all mobs have interesting AI like this?

Yes.

They ALL have that AI.

[Shinimas]

It can. If they rework the whole system.
Which means it can't.

[Lictor]

Some players behave like mobs - it turns PvP into PvE with element of surprise when loot is concerned.

[Boduar69]

Think they need to fix a lot of other stuff before they bother tweaking the PvE AI so that it actually becomes more interesting.

[Zenith]

The problem with the AI is that it gets very confused when you surround them. My guess would be that the AI in itself is very good, but they need to make it more bugsafe to avoid the dumb surround->leftclick spam that goes on.

[rwp80]

They ALL have that AI.

Not in my experience they dont. Unless of course, my experience is based on a broken system with glitchy mobs and lag issues.

Oh... I see.

Just would like to see a sort of tank/healing system going on. Somebody who trained defense and shields can be the tank and somebody who has some profiency in magic can heal and then they would have to take down bosses that aren't just spam click. Maybe they move and cast some line damage ability. Maybe you can't surround because of splash attack, etc.

[Carbonlegend]

It would be nice of the devs in my honest opinion to present a release version of the game to the loyal followers who have been playing beta for the last 3 weeks.

Sadly this is the game. Spam-Click is all there is to do.

[Arkh]

Just let the mobs use horizontal swing when boxed instead of the stupid vertical one.
Give bow and arrows to every mob so they can't be safely attacked from some distance and let them use it instead of spells on people in the water. Or at least they should aim for the head and not the middle of the body. They would become more efficient.
When there's more than one of them, they should use fucking parry.

[kingkongbanana]

knockback, whirlwind or a pushing thingie would probably spice things up.

So don't box in the mob and click spam it. The AI is very good if you aren't taking advantage of it in this way. ?? Or are you more interested in making PvE more interesting for the competition, and not so much for yourself / your guild? :P

Nah but yes this is a problem and should be a pretty simple AI fix. Allow the monsters to aoe knockback, hold on to a target, more damage less HP, etc.

[Erendir]

Face it - PvE sucks. The only reason it's in there is so you can train for PvP.

the answer is NO NO, they like to keep mobs boring so people pvp more

[Eldest]

Big mobs need more melee AoE, you know, like tail swips and shit that knock people on the ground.
