Mob Updates

Written by: Estarra the Eternal

Addressed to: Everyone


For those who have followed my ustream, you know that we have been doing
some under-the-hood tweaks to the mob to allow us to adjust the formula
for their health, xp, influencing and gold drops.

For the past week, the envoys have been asked to gather people to test
on a test server the new formulas. After some excellent feedback, we
have tweaked the formulas and have now released them. Thanks goes to all
the testers and a special thanks to Xenthos and Talan for their
considerate and detailed analysis.

What you should expect in bashing is that some mobs will take longer to
kill, especially higher level. To compensate, they should give
considerably more xp and gold. The damage mobs do in combat has remained
in unchanged.

Also, influencing has been adjusted so it also takes longer and you will
receive more xp and even esteem. However, we've adjusted influencing so
that the mobs DO give great ego damage (as influencing wasn't as
challenging as we wanted it).

Unless there is something extremely wrong, I would like to test these
new formula updates live for the next week. I'll start a forum thread
for your feedback.

Have fun!
