Ramifications of next mini-VU

Did anybody notice this line tucked away at the end of Marco’s announcement?

[QUOTE=Marco|MindArk]

Coming sooner is the aggression alteration to the creatures. Several will have their aggression levels reduced, and will take no notice of the avatars until they get too close.

Umm -

SELLING: 1200 sweat for 2.45 - MUST SELL QUICKLY!!!

Not a bad thing imo !

I’ll be able to roam a little more easily around Eudoria without having a train of 40 mobs behind me…
As for the fact that it’ll make sweating easier, i don’t think it’ll be such a bad thing. Perhaps the noobs will stop trapping mobs to sweat them :slight_smile:

I love it.. who knows - one day we might even be able to use mindforce for hunting :eek:

This is exactly what i was talking about. There is no reason for a snable to attack me and waste my ammo. I can kick his ass. and he knows it. Much like a racoon or a rat.

When these creatures see you they dont bumrush you.. They run away. We have been on calypso long enough for the creatures to develop a fight or flight when they see humans. I think most would run.

Suicide

Hunting would be really annoying though if mobs ran away from you

YES! because as it is now with the new skilling system, it is kinda hard to skill mindforce… esp offensive mf like firestorm… :wink:

i doubt troxes won’t run away from u, when they see fresh meat, they go for it… daikibas and exos etc. on the other hand, they just eat papplons

:kos:

Do you think they will be Roman ramifications?

(tee hee, I couldn’t help myself)

Maybe Im missing the point here but for me it sounds like a superb way of telling what mobs are on your level! If they run = below / attack = U first :wink:

I ran into a guy tonight buying sweat for 2.6

I think there are a lot of people buying at 2.3-2.4 who are counting on being able to sell for a profit.

I also think there are a lot of people who are going to be screwed once the market realizes the effects of the change.

BTW - I think it’s already happened… I’m REALLY glad I sold all 1200 sweat tonight for 2.45 - like I asked

Maybe the mob will attack the sweat gatherers when they try to gather sweat from it. Have you thought of that? :wink:

I don’t think we should look too much into this and start up loads of little theories about how things will change from a little sentence :wise:

This is what I’m thinking/hoping too. It’s a complete waste of ammo for me to have to kill exos. while I’m hunting argos. I rarely, if ever, get more than 20 pec out of them, and absolutely zero skills. :rolleyes:

However, Marco didn’t really say anything about mobs running..he just said that their aggression would be lowered a bit, and their ‘vision’ altered to less than 10 miles away… (I’m exaggerating…)

This has got to be one of the best ideas I have heard of since the new VU man wouldn’t this be sweet then again some of the ubers would be having to chase everything around :rolleyes:
Rep given :smiley:

That would be pretty neat if that feature existed. I tend to think, and of course it’s just more speculation, that all low-end mobs will not attack any1 so readily, regardless of one’s skills… so snables, exars, etc are not going to try to jump ya unless you’re really close (if they try anything at all)…
:dunno:

btw sweat prices have been on a crazy rise

i joined like a week ago when sweat prices were around 2.2-2.4

few days later it shot up to 2.4-2.5

now i sell at 2.7 =p

in other words, u ripped urself off by selling ur 1.2k sweat at 2.45 or w/e it was =p

i happened to mine around troy a bit lately, and i had a lot of daikiba’s crossing my inner circle, or even like 2 meters range away, and they didnt notice me. but araneatrox comes running after me as soon as they come in sight!

Perhaps so - but I’m satisfied with what I got & I didn’t want to take the risk. That’s the way it works - I happened to lose this one :slight_smile:

And I’m sure the people that bought at that price were expecting to make Mind Essence out of it and sell for good profit. But if other Mind Force users are like me, they will completely stop purchasing sweat, force nexus, mind essence until mind force is a more viable power or usefullness. I have several k of ME in reserve for emergencies. But other than emergencies, or the occational fun blast, I’ve stopped using it.

Thanks
