Mobs per spot / Max aggro amount / Respawn time/ Proximity respawn range

Syblitrh

I'd like to hear what players prefer when it comes to grinding, as i think is an important aspect of the gameplay that will impact long-term enjoyment.

• For normal mobs:
Mob Health and Combat Duration: Do you prefer mobs with high health, requiring 30 seconds to a minute per mob, or do you prefer fighting multiple mobs with lower health quickly?

• Mob Distribution: Do you prefer mobs to be scattered across the environment, or more concentrated in specific areas?

• Aggro Mechanics: Are you interested in aggroing large pools of mobs? If so, how many mobs do you think should follow you through the aggro system?

• Party Trains: What are your thoughts on party trains, where each player could aggro let's say 7 mobs, and allowing the entire party to gather a larger group e.g 35 mobs?

• Mob Respawn Rates:
How quickly should mobs respawn in their respective spots?, and from what distance from the initial respawn point the mob should lose aggro?

Maybe you have ideas for elites:
?

Of course depending on these preferences the rate of loot drop will need adjustments.

Some examples of grinding pools of mobs bellow:

These are my preferences:

• General mobs should be around 20-30s to kill, while they themselves can kill you faster if you mess up
• Some locations should have weaker mobs but in groups
• There should be patrolling mobs within each location, who'd aggro several groups (or strong solo mobs) onto you if they see you
• Group mobs should have synrgistic abilities, just as player parties do
• Overall aggro range should differ on both mob and location basis
• Mob leash should be real long, but there should be a timer on how long you've been pulling one mob onto you, and the lower the timer - the more mobs will auto-aggro onto you in the direct vicinity of you and the mob you pulled
• And when the amount of aggroed mobs goes over a certain threshold, they should start using their abilities on anyone within range, while also prioritizing CCs (especially movement-based ones)
• *** elites should be waaay harder than what we saw in the bard and raid showcase
• Mobs (and bosses) should have special AI interactions for when players around them start flagging purple, and ideally players should have some tools to interact with that AI mechanic
• Red players shouldn't aggro solo mobs, but should have a wider aggro for social mobs (i.e. patroll and group mobs)
