Just a quick question

Just a little Question.they have managed to make everything harder with a patch ok harvesting n crafting is np u learn to adapt thats all im finding it pretty much the same just a bit slower....fight n mage..no comments on that think enough has been said on that matter BUT this is the type of thing that really annoys me.....since beta u have been killed thru walls or mobs ABOVE u in tunnels but has this been sorted.....NO.....u have a speed boost......why? the mobs still hit u the same and keep up with you so why have it?....music...how long have we been promised this?......and the real problem for me with this game is ...content.....2 invasions and a race...lol thats laughable.If neverax concentrated on things to take the minds of players OFF the fighting then maybe we may be left with a community?But what i do find quite amazing is these things have been present since at least open beta, maybe im missing a point here but i thought this was the reason FOR betas?This is my first MMORPG so i would intrested to find out if ALL MMORPGS are run/made like this?

P.S will we actually get a reply of yes or no from a dev,mod,guide anyone from high above if the fight n mage situation is here to stay?

Thx muff

I took speedup 2 because the patch said mobs would give up on you more...

I attacked a Capryni to test it (lev 20 one, I am level 84) and hit speedup 2. It chased me from outside Davae to just before the gingos outside Yrk... half a zone. It never gave up. I turned around and killed it with one hit.

Mobs that pursue you over entire zones is very bad, this needs to be addressed.

Also, I cast Sleep on it, with no other agro. I was expecting sleep to be a non-agro spell, but it isnt. So what good is it?

Fear has a chance of the mob bringing friends back, sleep (or root, which immobilizes, but doesn't help when the mob is right next to you, but has worked alot better for me than fear post patch) doesn't cause the mob to run all over attracting unwanted attention from its friends.

er i use speed all the time and on majority of occaions i escape, and tonight was a case of a aggrod mob 2 team members died i ran away full circle healed agrrod again ran away came back and manage to heal again with them 10 secs to go :p , Ive noticed though if they keep a line of sight on you there more likely to keep chasing you though this could be coincidence, though there is on the odd occaions that you take dmg when youve sprineted 40 meters away :p
