[feedback] [dev] Mobs attacking several players at once

Post by Xavier Antoviaque »

Hello,

Feel free to comment on this feature :
When approaching more than one player, some Mobs currently become stuck in a loop, where they become confused and continually switch targets after each attack. After the patch, Mobs will no longer be able to attack several players at once; they will engage one opponent at a time. Players who have been implementing this behavior into their fighting strategy need to be aware of the change.
Any thoughts, positive or negative feedback are welcome !

Be gone with it!

There will be much rejoicing and dancing in the streets!

Kami and Karavan will put aside their differences and come together for a week of music, food, and general festivities!


But seriously, long over due. I don't think there will be much argument, even from those "who have been implementing this behavior into their fighting strategy"

Meaning 1 meleer or dying? ;)

Much needed, IMO. Would have been nice to see it done with the last patch.

Defitnely need to be fixed. But I hope the fix won't make it so that they will be so obsessed that they can't be taunted off or break off or go after healers and mages if they get too close, those are good qualities to have. The fix should just eliminate the part where mobs attacked really fast when switching targets.

Oh crap. My there goes usablity of my madness spell :( And all the excitement of melee fighting. j/k

Fixing this frenzied super attack bug is good.

Does this mean that mobs won't ever change target even there is multiple opponents at distance? That would suck. I liked it as it was before recent patches. Mobs should be able to switch target if they like to. But that should not result in buggy loop of ninja-attack.

Good point Fyrx.

Don't want it fixed by making them stick to a target! Let them switch, just don't let them hit faster when they do.

Madness kills mobs instantly. Have tried that with kizoaars.

So is it fixed?

Of course if somethign is broken you should fix it. What kind of shenanigan makes Nevrax think we should debate whether things that were broken should be fixed?!?

Thanks Xavier for like quoting patch notes that havent been released(as completed patches)...?!?!?
