IC MOBs Need To Attack Everyone

MAOofDC · July 2015

So I was attacked by a NPC because I got to close to it. While fighting it I got attacked by another player and was killed. It sucks but that is to be expected in IC I guess. What surprised and angered me was the MoB which was standing right next to the guy who killed me didn't attack him it just reset and acted like nothing was wrong. How is it that I get attacked when I was a few meters away from a NPC but someone who is less than 1 meter gets away scott free? Getting ganked while distracted was bad enough but to watch the NPC not attack the person who just ganked me was worse. A little later I was in a group and we were trying to take out a Boss level Harvester when another smaller group attacked us. The Boss stayed focused on us and completely ignored the other players. So here we are trying to fend off the boss while fending off the enemy players and in the course of all that getting even more NPC attacking us. None of which seemed to give a fig about the enemy players. It's kind of immersion breaking to have the bass assed boss attacking everyone in my group but ignoring the enemy players. I mean wouldn't Deadra attack all mortal equally?

I predict what is going to happen is people will lay in wait until someone/group engages a NPC gank them when they are weakened confident that the boss level NPC will not even look in their direction. If this issue is not addressed a new tactic will become standard practice and the QQ will be strong.

Boss will ignore them completely unless they accidentally hit the boss to top its aggro chart.

If they all use single target and wipe you, the boss should simply reset when they collect all your Tel Var Stones unless of course, they engage it directly in combat.

Someone please tell me if the boss will become in combat with enemy players if they get hit by an aoe attack accidentally.

I realize than and that can become problematic which is why I think it needs to be addressed somehow.

Right now a group of Developers is giggling gleefully at your misfortune just like they did during their last twitch feeds when they talked about the gank fest that would occur in IC.

Remember the beta questionnaire would ask questions about "How good do you think the AI is, great or really great?"

Yeah, I remember that, AI in Cyrodiil really needs to be better, Daedra need to be murderous demons which attack everyone instead of helping out whichever Alliance they feel like helping.

Yes something needs to be done to address this issue.
