Thread: Roaming mobs

  1. #1

    Default Roaming mobs

    There are many roaming mobs in old quests, but, newer ones have only standing still mobs.
    Roaming mobs could bring some randomness for challenge.

    ps> Roaming reapers would be awesome, too.

    I have often wondered if the lag found in some quests is due to mobs spawning only on a "trigger", something you can notice if you go "different routes" through a quest

    I've always like the idea of adding "wandering monsters" chance to quests as a way to make the experience different each run.

    As for wandering reapers, my issue has to deal with mechanics used by the "fear reaper", I think they need to make this a more limited range and require line of site, or this could lead to the issue that was sited as the reason why the Tangleroot quests are not Reaper capable.

    But for that, I'm right there with you on the idea.

    I'd be down for any and all improvements to monster ecology and mob placement.

    More organic and distinct is always good to have.


    If you also had more mob subtypes (like armored ogres and trolls) that would also flesh things out.

    I completely agree. All the newer quests feel lifeless to me because they are full of groups of monsters just standing around like statues waiting for an adventurer to start attacking them.
