AfterWorld Survival Forum

Anti, 1000 kills per hour came from simple approach. Assumed I have nothing but sea of creatures around me and pause between kills is minimal. Killing some of the weaker mobs truly takes only couple of seconds and it came down to arithmetics. One hour contains 3600s. With many mobs I actually went out and timed the effort regarding most of the maturities with a  stopwatch (foulitos incl albas, slugots, rudoeds, deminers and so forth). It took me 4-5 hours (couple tests per each maturity of a creature, if I could find it) but I did not think I could trust my subjective "feeling" enough.

It's unnatural situation that won't happen in the game. I'd prefer you to use current spawn rates and/or reasonable spawn rates, not just abstract situation where are you are surrounded with hordes of monsters.

Anit, when i click the excel file, i go to dropbox site that says

Just a little history,this has happened before twice by a bug which was corrected very soon after.. first around when saransk first opened and later around vu 9 time ... hundreds of wolf youngs appeared SE of the zone,imagine small bites but lots of them because they aggroed to you was impossible you just died...

The second time it happened was the same time the devs had dropped some buggys into sar main town as well so i jumped in a buggy and drove around the wolves all following the buggy ^_^ ... point is it was impossible to hunt them with that many all aggroing to you no matter how small a mob it was ... gl

That's what I was thinking from the start, but then there was mention of some kind of dog symbol and I started to wonder, lol.

If the work is still ongoing it's prolly not too late to point out the Group AI.
So far there's only one mob ingame that uses this special AI model - Rudoed. Slow-moving high-dmg mob that when attacked alerts other rudoeds in the close proximity and then attacks as a group. As a result the mob danger level has a special relationship to the spawn density, scaling from fairly easy to extremely deadly even if the maturity stays the same.
This special property has to be taken into account when balancing the mobs.


Also, i think the idea itself is ingenious and well worth further development. If we speak about gameplay and fun factor there's very few features that can be compared to this.
There was a few examples how the similar behaviour could be used for a group of bears and herd of warthogs (using slightly different but at the same time very simple algorithms). Can't access that part of the old forum atm, but i think it's not necessary either - shouldn't be hard to extend the idea using the existing scripts as a starting point.

Wolves are one of the damage one = "attack in packs" mobs.
