Age of Conan

I have heared the people of Funcom bragging about allmost everything, except mob AI.

But since they know that even most sociall people solo 50% of the time, its very important to make this soling experience as  good as possible. For me the solution to this problem is Mob AI... Intelligent mobs posing a challenge.  ((Thast intelligent humanoids... beast can just be beasts as allways))

So did we hear anything about the mob AI in solo area's ?

I havent heard anything about it. So i will add that in TR i liked the fact that the AI was a bit more intelligent and actually attacked you before you attacked it, along with them kicking you back away from him and what not. Hopefully AoC will take a bit from all games that have hints of good AI.

We don't have a great deal of info on AI I'm afraid. They've mentioned NPC group tactics, ambushes, running to get help, etc. But we haven't seen this in action yet. What has been confirmed is that mobs will shift their defenses to match your attack patterns.

Mob AI will have the illusion of blending in with its environment... By pathing..to cut down trees, start fires, and seemingly randon patrols around the outskirts of camps etc.(as in most new mmo's)

The fighing system will allow for the AI to block your melee attacks with a blocking system(which doesnt seem very good yet).

That is all I can recall hearing about AI. Im sure someone else will have more for you soon.

To anyone concerned about the above posted video...

A.) Its old, its improved dramatically since then

B.) No, English is not his first language

I believe this video will be of help: http://www.gamespot.com/video/927504/6183430/age-of-conan-hyborian-adventures-official-movie-6

Monsters and Mob A.I behaviour, purposes, hunting monsters, monsters hunting monsters etc etc

Thanks for that video link Avery. I have an account at Gamespot and I guess I never got around to looking at their videos for AoC. I think I'll do that now, lol.

Yea that video was insightful to how they want to go about implementing things, I think it was overlooked from the title that gamespot put on it as it wasnt released on many other websites.

Video was great, this is really going to change how players approach PvE. No more of same old pull a mob whack it, pull the next one and so on and so on. It will be really funny to see a group try that and have the mob actually call for back up and rush the group.
