mobs that auto attack you.

HamdallaII - Dreamweaver · April 2011

Please make something near the monster name to tell us if this monster will auto-attack the character, or it won't until he hit it.

Ideas of what you can use (choose one):-
1) [*] a star mark near the name of the auto-attacking mob, and the other mobs (that will not auto-attack) without this star near their names (just like normal way).

2) Color the name of auto-attacking mob in red ... the other mobs stay with white color.

3) Put any special icon in the monster tag (when you select it) for the auto-attacking mobs (like the icon for taming) ... and the other mobs without this icon.

You may find another idea, it's okay but the important thing is to make someway that we can know if this mob will auto-attack or not (other than walking near it, and mostly die :P).

Don't worry, after like.. lvl 19 EVERY mob will auto-attack you b:laugh

okay, it might not be quite as bad as what Waterfal's saying. but it's pretty close. b:laugh

get into the habit of treating every mob as if it'll aggro on you, just in case; by the time you hit the late 6x levels, you might encounter the rare exceptional mob that doesn't do that, and it'll be a pleasant surprise to you when you do.

Check mob databases, either the ingame encyclopedia, or online. If it says they are "Active" then they will target you if they notice you. If they are "Passive" then they will only target you if you attack them, or in some cases, if you attack one of their kind.

The star thing and the icon thing do sound like good ideas, BUT you have to understand the work that would go into renaming/cataloging every single mob by name and activity just for the sake of adding a star or little aggro icon would be HUGE. I doubt today's devs are good enough. <_< They're most likely more lazy and will tell you to deal with it.

2. Will never be implemented. There's already a color system in place, where when you see a mob many times over your level, it's name will be orange, and mob's your own level are white named.

Now, aggro can be avoided if you PLAY THE GAME. <_< If a monster attacks you once by walking by it, kill it and be wary of all of that kind of mob. It's that easy. That's how us oldies survived before translated databases =P

I aggree with you on that one lol

Thanks all, special thanks to Bellarie helped very much.

Guess you all are right, after becoming a high level all the mobs auto-attacks you so it doesn't matter.

About the "nowadays Devs" I noticed they are lazy, but trust me I tried other games, the Devs there were dead, not lazy, so ^^ lazy is better than dead ^^ thanks Jeremied.

Anyway I was trying to make "Perfect World" Perfect as it should be. lol

Actually, no.
They would have to change only this bit:

monster.printName(monster.name);

TO

if(monster.isAgressive())
monster.printName(monster.name + "*");
else
monster.printName(monster.name);
