All mobs should become ambient

[Tao.5096]

I'm thinking if turning all mobs except NPCs into ambient wouldn't be a much wiser idea?In many if not by most cases those mobs serve no purpose than just hold players in pointless combat mode due to accidenial attack.

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

The world is a dangerous place. I think open world would be exceedingly dull without the threats.

Even so, it is generally possible to avoid aggro and "accidental" attacks, especially by making use of mounts, evades, and not relying on the shortest distance between two points to reach the destination.

With clever planning those mobs can save you from your enemies. Every profession can use them for their advantage.

Even zergs fear going there.

Not just that - if every mob turned into an ambient, I can see some classes traits taking advantage of that for free hp/barrier

Dem Oakhearts though...

Meeh, just go that final step, and turn all players into ambients.

Reason:

• PvE players farming dailies are about as much resistance.
• With all the 1shot gank builds flying around last few years, everyone might as well have 1 hitpoint anyways.
• Perhaps more people might actually care enough to TRY to attack if they know the ganker after them only has 1 hp!

Yup, this can only improve wvw! (50% sarcasme, 50% serious)

I think there needs to be even more mobs! They should create a "Trap of Pocket Raptors" that you can lay out. If you step on it, it spawns 2x the number of pocket raptors as within a 180 radius of the person who set it off! If the lag won't kill them, the pocket raptors will! >:D

Turning them all neutral would be ok, I suppose turning them ambient would be fine as well.

Why not just replace all NPCs - including guards - with the standard group of ~8 pocket raptors. So a T3 camp for example would have ~70-100 of them (depending on raptor dolly spawns).

Id be game for an event like thatBut have HP like 10k and cant be hit more then 9k (so there's Time to respond)

[bluberblasen.9684]

its a bad game design that all npcs are attacking the player with the highest armor ... :/

when 2 players duelling .. the npcs creatures should despawn... or ignore the players..

Doing dragon stand on a lv60 thief was pretty comparable. Pretty fun too, having zero margin for error haha

That would be kinda fun as the April Fool’s day ‘joke’.

Guards on towers equal to two camp NPC’s so, 14-20 for each guard...

And of course, only one for the quartermaster because reasons.

Tower lords = 200 pocket raptors with 10 smokescales..

Keep lords.... I’ll let someone else look at that one..

SMC lord is just replaced with a room with like 150 pocket raptors that can stealth?

@Tao.5096 said:pointless combat modeYou get experience, drops, and in some cases Achievement progress. Hardly pointless.

OP, I have grand idea for you. No one has ever thought of it before. If you want to avoid combat so badly, just go around mobs and use movement skills.

Or ride a Warclaw.

Next 1april joke confirmed, all WvW Npc's when killed, spawns 10x pocket raptors per mob tier (10 for normal, 20 veteran, 30 camp lord, 40 tower lord, 50 keep lord).

SMC Lord replaced with 15 Ogre supervisors that each have 10 pocket raptor minions instead. Same numbers then.
