Guild Wars 2

Looking at Guildwars 2 and thinking all the current mobs are just standing around in the same not doing anything just waiting for us to attack then.

I remember a old interview where it was stated that world mobs wouldn’t be standing in the same spot waiting for players to come and kill them set on respawn timers.

And yes this is exactly what happens in the game and thinking about it its kinda disappointing to see.

Is there any way the mobs can be patrolling like what was stated to give some randomness to the maps making them more exciting and unique.

Currently the way it is I could point map every single mob on a map with all their details etc which some people may have done already or are doing.

I don’t want to just see static mobs doing absolutely nothing waiting for us to come into their aggro range, I want to see mobs doing things instead and going about there business etc.

Its something Anet said they wouldn’t do and would be different from other mmo’s.

I can’t say this happens for every mob, but some of them do catch prey, and kill it. Some fight each other. Some do seem to patrol, as well.

But, as you say, some seem to just stand there, daydreaming. Lol.

Somehow when I’m standing around those mobs that are also standing around decide not to stand around and give me the gift of armor repairs.

Rofl!

I know the feeling. “Hmmm, this seems like a nice, peaceful outpost I can afk at for a few minutes……”

OP, I think you missed the point of what was being said. They didn’t say no mobs would stand around ever. The quote you’re talking about is from the manifesto and it’s talking about quest mobs. In the manifesto it says you get a quest to kill ten centaurs but they’re just standing around in a field.

Dynamic events are the answer to traditional quests. So in a traditional quest the centaurs aren’t attacking but in Guild Wars 2 they are.

And that is very much in the game.
