Mob AI

[lugoman]

I've noticed mobs falling off things since U9 update. Not sure if it has always been like this and I just didnt notice. It has happened in a lot of different places, a few I remember:

In dq1 the genies around the bridges can fall off into the lava. They will warp back up to the point where they fell off and then drop back down into the lava in an endless loop.

In Claw I have seen the second guardian drop down to the lower level with the first guardian.

In ToD have seen tieflings fall into the lava.

they don't die they respawn with full health over and over while you waste arrows or spells trying to kill them
the same thing happens in other areas... take searing heights... the enemies will run toward you from the other sides of lava and then respawn with full health over and over

Hey, fair is fair. If you or I jump into molten lava without a fire resistance on we die PDQ. The same thing should happen with mobs.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK....Developers? :D

I once watched a trog shaman in Coal chamber jump to his death (and survive).

Mummies jumped off the ledge in And The Dead Shall Rise and the gate was locked until I jumped down there and killed them. That's a long walk back up :(

(what was more annoying was the hireling running headlong towards the final boss even tho there is no floor there! Grr!)

Had a zombie and now a black pudding just run off in some random direction for no discernable reason at all. I believe both had taken some damage so should have had aggro on someone, but just took off running away from me. :)

Hey guys? Why its strange to you?
Mobs proved that they got WEAK AI by standing in firewalls since 2006.
What did ya expected? :D

Its not new. The Shaman that drops into the center when you save Arlos (the three bridge area) loves to jump off and into the water, and always has. He always respawns after about 30 seconds.

Once I had Arlos fall into the water. I flipped, but after a little bit he respawned in his cell and ran to me in the bridge area. :D
