no offence but iv noticed every single mob has been dumbed down lvl 5-40 no agro's,the fb are even more dumbed down. for instance fb59 mobs dont agro you at all where attacking 1 would bring almost all the fb down on party, yes it could get chaotic but atleast it posed a challenge.
i worked hard & long to get my lvs on all my toons but theres no challenge anymore if the AI remains dumbed we will loose players.
Iv had this conversation with many ppl in the comunity, most iv talked to agree with me.

I noticed this also. I agree for the most part. As far as losing players though. Some come and some go. New players always replace those who leave. nothing will ever kill the game like people tend to think.
edit: So many supposedly left over anni-packs. people said the game was dead. A new expansion later and alot more new players trying the game. Pwi is still going strong.0 -
im not sayin itd kill the game, its just a shame that this should happen to such good game.Antcy - inactive - HT

I agree with the OP. I almost looked forward to having some of those annoying lower level creatures gank my baby assassin, but instead they ignore me. Most mobs don't aggro at all, or even aggro when you attack a like-mob right next to them. Kinda took out some of the challange / fun for me. =(
But at least they haven't changed anything in the 50+ range so far that I've seen! =D0 -
wait... no mobs in FB59 agro at all? so i can run straight to bosses while ignoring the mobs next time i go?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

fb59 mobs do aggro you. I did 2 bh's yesterday and we had to run back and save a cleric because they aggroed 3 mobs trying to sneak passed them.0 -

Not talking about luring. Im talking about straight up shooting 1 mob and another comes with it. Some still do and some dont anymore.0 -
Some low level mobs still agro you, if you att ones close to them.. My lil pys just died by being ganked by lvl 36 mobs.0

archers have always been able to lure certain mobs from a max range shot. you can do it in 3-x TT also.0

I never even said anything about me luring at all. I am saying that some mobs dont aggro like they use to. Now you can shoot 1 mobs in a group of 3 and only 1 mobs comes to you. This was done by other squad members not myself. So it has nothing to even do with archers or luring.
for example, a bm running up on a group of 3 mobs. targets 1 and kills it without the other 2 mobs aggroing at all.0 -
im saying theyve been able to do that via arrows forever. its called luring0

this has NOT been about luring. it has been how the mobs AI has been messed with to a point that takes the away any challenge.
the normal agro lvl have been messed with to a point where it has made the game to easy.
on all toons i worked hard for my lvls watching the mobs learning the tactics to safley defeat them & move on.
with the AI nerfed the mobs now are so ridiculously easy, even healers agro hold no sway.Antcy - inactive - HT

im not talking about ****ing luring! mobs in fbs have always been able to be shot from a 30m distance and not taking aggro from the surrounding mobs! this is the equivalent of luring for an archer, and i dont see how its so hard to comprehend0

Nobody is talking about luring. Get off of the luring part of things, jeeze.
They are referring to the fact that with a bow, ranged skill, etc, you can now hit a mob in the middle of a group from any distance and the surrounding mobs no longer chain aggro is many places.0 -

That's always been like that. I haven't been in a fb59 since the expansion, but I'm sure the mobs at the doorway weren't "linked" back then.
Same as some other mobs in that dungeon.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]b:laugh

Although it was frustrating, dying used to be half the fun of the really low levels (under 30) and since the expansion, I haven't died once, on any of my characters. Sure, no exp loss, but also none of the 'Oh **** I'm gonna die!!' rush either.
I sorta miss it. b:surrender
Edit: WTF does my avatar say lvl 1? It should be 18... the one at the top of the screen says that.Someone fix all the avatars stuck at lvl 1!!0 -
and for a million and a half times its always been that way. and im saying archers have been luring like that for centuries, freakin block heads....0

I can assure you they weren't, I've lured the spider and the others there countless of times. b:sad
And we could always walk past the undine and the other one (tauroc iirc).[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]b:laugh

In your previous post you stated "im saying theyve been able to do that via arrows forever. its called luring".
I watched a bm in fb59 run into a group of 3 mobs without the other 2 aggroing them. So how it has anything to do with archers or arrows isnt even the issue. Read the post before arguing with it because I dont see why thats so hard to comprehend. ty0 -

stop flamin ty
this has not been about luring never has been. idk how you can mistake the fact a barb complaining about rushing in & NOT gettin ganked by half the fb, for luring.Antcy - inactive - HT

god you cant read. im saying i can shoot a mob in a group of three like you are talking about, and not aggro the other two with it. it is a luring technique that has been used by archers forever, what part of that cant you understand? they didnt change any AI, or make the game easier (except dumbing down TT1-x some by removing some mobs.)
if youd actually READ what im saying youd understand this, but apparently half the posters fail to comprehend such an easy explanation.
as for charging into the groups of three, theyll always aggro. see it happen daily in 51s and 59s.0 -

MAYBE IF YOU READ YOU'D UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WHERE SAYING. GOD.

OP is a barb. i watched a bm run into a group of mobs in melee range and kill 1 mob without the other 2 aggroing. How is that luring? when a barb can run thru and kill 1 mob with aggroing others, how is that considered luring? Nobody is talking about archers shooting anything. We are saying that anyone (barb, bm or whatever) can run into a group of mobs melee attack 1 and the other mobs ignore you. Thats not hard to understand if you read the posts.
This applies to some mobs not all. Some mobs dont aggro like they use to. As the title of this thread states...where has the challenge gone.0 -
im im saying thats BS, and they behave the exact way me and anjiru have been stating.0
