Survivor

Written by: Keroc

Addressed to: Everyone


Survivor is getting a little bit old and hasn't quite stood up against
the influx of bashing buffs over the years. Since this was once my first
project, I've decided to take a small revisit to tweak the downtime and
to give everyone more of a fair chance.

Long story short, I got little teary when no one died until the last
round in the most recent Survivor game. You've all grown so much!

Difficulty
=================
- Removed all mob strength penalties in easy and medium difficulty.
- Added a small bonus to mob strength in hard, impossible, and nightmare
difficulties.

Core
=================
- Reduced timer between waves to 4 minutes, down from 5 minutes.
- Reduced spawn rate to every 40 seconds, instead of every 60 seconds.
* This means there are now 5 spawn intervals instead of 4.

Mob AI
=================
- All normal mobs now have a tracking depth of 5 rooms, instead of the
entire arena. You should be able to kite them now if you're fast
enough!
* Extra spawns and boss spawns still track the entire length of
the arena.
- Extra mobs now only want to kill who they're set upon and no one
else until it dies or their target.

Feel free to send any kind words to me, and all hate mail to Razmael!
Good luck with the Anniversary games!

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Niuran, in the year 431 MA.
