Mob flee change

[mostbitter]

Mobs now flee at sow speed? What was the point of this?

so they can sit back and laugh at all the groups wiping when snared mobs run away at lightspeed and aggro half the zone.

dispell the SoW the shaman frogs casted on your mobs. Snare the mobs.

Welcome to classic EQ.

This is not classic. Classic SoW'd mobs may have fled faster than they did pre-patch, but they fled with lower HP totals and not at full SoW speed. Mobs that I once soloed using monk fists on Brell Serilis are impossible to solo post-patch.

crocs run at sow speed also, and mobs shouldnt be able to sow indoors, durp durp durp

Mobs always ignored the rule of being unable to SoW indoors. Also, if you're upset about the new change you can (a) bug report it or (b) contribute to the bug report thread already made about it.

lol take away the only tiny bit of solo ability my WAR had which was to kill LB's.

Now they run so fast/early I get trained by half the zone.

Now with no groups and unable to solo even light blue mobs I can't get exp /boggle

This is exactly why I am "shitting my pants". Let's get this fixed.

1. In classic EQ the warrior was not known for his solo capabilities

2. Classic EQ just may not be for you, good luck with your next game. I think you can solo on a warrior in WoW.

And yet they still had that option when trying to form groups. Poor weapons and low HP recovery were the reason for this, not out-of-control fleeing mobs.

Learn what is truly classic before spamming melees with legitimate game experience issues.

just ignore rydar like most everyone else. dude is an idiot

All you spoiled brats, this behavior with green aggro and mobs running was how it was.

Although, mob running speed is a little off. Everything else is fine.

Mob run speed or HP % are certainly a big part of the issue. Mob flight behavior is also a problem. In classic EQ, mobs quit running the instant their hate list cleared (i.e. FD), and fairly quickly after every PC on their hate list was sitting down. In Sebilis, a mob fleeing from the zone would not make it to aggro range of the mobs at the second door if a soloing PC sat down.

These mobs would instead stop running if the PC was standing at zone in (not following the running mob), or would come charging back at full speed if the PC sat down.

With the current mob flight behavior (mobs run toward random points and keep on running), classes already disadvantaged on red99 are pretty much gutted.

I'd invite the developers to try playing a pure melee class on red99 now. Classic EQ actually had soloing capabilities for melee classes -- there were even soloing guides. This capability has been removed from red99, and with it, a large part of the viability of these classes.

With the inability to XP without having friends online, and the XP loss for PvP (something I'm honestly okay with if I can get that XP back somehow), it just hasn't been worthwhile for me to log in since the patch.

First off. This isn't just sowed mobs. This crap also is bugged. A level 3 Krag chicks at BBM near KALADIM ZL runs at full speed when low on health??? Really??? I think not.
