1. Run 100 meter from the place the last time the mob hit you. Rather then some distance from the place the last time you hit the mob. This would mean fast mobs would follow unless you use speed or another trick to get some distance so they don't hit anymore.

2. If you cast spell/attack/taunt/whatever else on the mob obviously, it's responds should be attacking. When you stop attacking and start running it's back to point 1

3. I like sehraciis ideas on the distance.

hmm i think the idea of carnivores having increased following distance over herbivores is good

if your shooting/attacking a mob while running it shouldnt ever give up untill you stopp attacking it or it dies as the mob running away when your attacking it shouldnt happen

if too many people say they want this increased tho be prepared for many more patches and bugs while they try to change it and "balance" it all

BUT like what's already been mentioned:

Fix the melee bug first! Top priority! It's KILLING good hunting teams and making it more dificult to level melee by limiting teams to 1.

*if you don't keep attacking it*
Carnivores: 150m
Herbivores: 50m

*if you keep attacking it while running away*
Carnivores: 250m
Herbivores: 150m

NPC Bosses:
Stay within range of guards

I would mix it up even more, by type of animal, season, lvl, how mad you made it, and I don't know, day or night depending on the animals patterns.

Obviously slower animals should stop sooner than faster ones. I don't think you should ever know how far exactly it will follow you. Maybe that Gnoof looks tastier than you.

Noin.

A lot of good suggestions were made in this thread:

Seasons would be a good factor, as well as a bit of randomness like you said Noin. To be truly natural, it should be different every time.

But then again, trying to incorporate all those things will take a lot longer than a simple solution they were planning. I'd just like to see as much complexity as possible.

i second that motion to be rid of that melee bug might make team lvling an option with more than 1 tank

Yes, and we can't really give a complete valid opinion on the disengage distances if we can't melee

ahh good point i doubt many people have been able to test the agro switch after they give up too because the teaming is very sparse while were having the bug
