AI retail behavior

Hi,

we are implementing new logic in AI so if anyone can help me gather all required information about it to make AI retail the most as possible I would really appreciate.

Current list of information I found out:

Code:

1). An aggressive normal mobs has an aggro radius of 8m when it’s within 5 levels of you. This radius shortens as you approaches the flank and back of the mob, from 7m to 2m. If you’re at least 10 levels higher than the mob it won’t aggro.
2). Similar mobs less than 8m apart will share the aggro target.
3). After a mob loses aggro, if it starts to walk back to the spawn location, it will aggro any player within the 8m radius along the way. But if it runs, then it won’t aggro anything before reaching the spawn location.
4). With few exceptions different species of mobs will not share aggro. Some species of mobs are linked though and will share aggro, such as master and pet.
5). When a mob tries to run away it will pick the opposite direction of its current target. You can affect the mob’s behavior by blocking this direction.
6). Healer mobs will cure and heal nearby mobs of their species. They will heal others and then themselves.
7). Mob skills that knockback or change your position may push you over an edge (except maybe fear).
8). To escape a mob AOE skill you must do so before the cast timer reaches 80%.
9). Humanoid mobs can call friendlies within 12m to help.
10). An aggroed mob will give up the chase after 7 secs if neither you or the mob is hit. If either is hit the timer will reset and become a little longer. Summoned mobs also follow this rule. Every time a DoT hits it resets the timer too, not just normal hits.

Best regards,
evilset

 

hmm while ur here, i think we all deserve to know when that "big update" of urs will be since there hasnt been any word from any of u for over a month

 

With #10, every time a DoT hits it resets the timer too, not just normal hits.

 

When Evilset gets the power to restart a server and update when he wants I guess then he'll tell us. For now you should be asking the guy with the big green title.

 

Agree with this

 

u mean the guy thats never here? good idea

chances r the update would happen be4 he even reads the message

if hes indeed working on that update, he has a pretty good idea just how far they r with it

 

ugh we want some "real" updates... screw the mobs.. its not like they even drop anything to begin with, you guys took away every freakin drop.

 

Lets just be glad that our dev is doing everything to make this server good, I mean besides he is just doing this for free. If he wanted to quit he would have left a long time ago.

 

true lol

this is like an extra though. right now they r changing the whole core from aionengine to aionlightning so there will be lots of changes (hopefully for the better)

but yeah, wanna know how close they r to completion (and no im not alone, over a 1,000 other people want to know too)

 

Another agree xD hehe, who cares about the mobs fix the bugs, that's more important. Don't make the server to much like the retail.. It's still a private server, that's why people are playing it.

 

Please stick to the topic.

 

...is it really so hard to answer a simple question? first time u guys r around after over a month of silence. just give us an estimate and we can drop this whole discussion. thx

 

Well most of that sounds about right, but do you have anything else you want to know that you have not already found?

I can easily hop on retail and check it out for you.

 

could u check how exactly boon of peace (aoe aggro drop, sorc skill) fits into mob behavior? ours is seriously fcked up right now not only does it not drop aggro but it aggros everything near the mob as well

 

Big update will be next month. I don't know when exactly but for sure next month. Currently we are refactoring new Aion emu which can't isn't so stable to handle 2k+ players online. Current emu has a lot of performance issues as well.

Lumiel server will be upgraded before Siel and we estimated time in 2 weeks (not 100%).

AI is important task for us since it causes the most performance issues.

Our goal is to make server stable as much us possible.

Be patient.

 

nooooooooooooo estimated times
we all know its always 3 times bigger

 

I dont have a sorc but I've asked a friend from retail who has one.

But IMO it should just reduce all Enmity you have towards the mobs with in 5m, it would only work if someone else had hate on them as well. The agro cant drop completely making the mob reset, so it has to fall onto someone else. It definitely shouldnt agro anything.

 

finally xD thanks a lot

 

Please do.

 

I asked if you had any other questions, what you originally posted sounds correct.
