NPC\Creature Climbing

[Grey2142]

I really think Funcom should look at NPC/creature climbing for those that can do so, but be subject to all the constraints that players are, such as stamina, armor encumbrance, and falling damage if knocked off. Furthermore, I also think that winged creatures such as the children of Jhil should be able to actually fly.

I think this would solve a lot of problems such as bases that would normally be unreachable to purges and would make much more sense that undead suddenly appearing in the middle of your base.

I was running from a Saber Tooth a couple weeks ago and thought I’d be safe climbing up a small ledge. Nope! He climbed right up and the chase was on again…

It would be nice to see more animals, especially winged ones, climb up small ledges/cliffs to continue chasing you. But when Rhino’s or Mammoths start climbing trees… I’m out.

Animals/monsters/NPCs should be able to pursue you across appropriate terrain. This would add a great deal more challenge and depth to encounters that can otherwise be exploited by taking advantage of pretty simple terrain.

I agree and certainly didn’t mean all creatures, and especially not rhinos! I was thinking of spiders, apes and big cats, all of which are capable of climbing.

Good suggestion.

Only thing is I’ve kind of got used to being able to cheese the mobs.
