Is it just me or are the goblins in Valkrum Dunes getting dumber? Ever sense the last maintenece, I've noticed the goblins out there don't notice people as often, when giving chase, pause frequently, and every time I run through the southern caves, there's a goblin ambusher in there, who seems like he's pacing back and forth in a 3 inch section.

Has anyone else seen anything like this, or is Katsako spiking my coke with crazy-juice?

Yeah I've noticed frequently that when a gob is pulled back to camp, we are waiting for it to get there for longer time then usual. Then it will start walking back and forth right outside voking range or somethin, very strange indeed. I was actually able to walk right THROUGH a gob today in the dunes and not get aggroed o.Oa

yeah, I was in the dunes the other day with my pld, they didn't aggro me for some reason....dunno why. LOL, ok, more serious now. I actually have seen a lot less death lately in the dunes. I remember back in the day when I was my low lvl 12 mnk with no sub in the dunes. The shouts for raises were phenominal. Now I go back to A. Camp the infamous Emp, or B. Clear the zone for the lower lvl people, but usually never end up gettin the Emp, and for some reason the zones are never clogged with gobs or bogys like way back when. Maybe its just people gettin smarter, and the aggro is less, who knows, all I know is I wish the dunes where this nice when I was lvlin there.

Mobs in Valkurm have always been bad for some reason, mostly due to overlagging of the area, but they have been acting funnier since update. I can always outrun them when they aggro me, why? I think it's because, you know how most of the time a mob will circle around instead of attacking you straightforward? Maybe they're doing this while running too o.0

Yup, me too. 'Cept I was a THF. How I made it to 18 as a THF with no sub is beyond me.

However, I blame the pauses on latency. Every done a /sea while in the dunes? There's more people there at peak hours than Lower Jeuno - granted they're not all at the AH.

A funny goblin encounter last night in Gustav tunnel. Our puller was grabbing a goblin poacher when a second one popped in her path. If course it linked and chased her too.
But when we started fighting the first goblin, the second one just stared at us and then returned to his spot.
These goblins were VT/IT to us so its not like they got scared of us.
Everyone in the PT were like "whats his problem? gotta go potty?"

There are times when this wierd aggro glitch could be a lifesaver. But when you want it to happen the most, thats when it does not happen.

LOL, yeah Naidfetg i really didn't think people were gettin smarter, but I thought maybe someone else did so I put it up there. ^^ I still can't remember how I got past the dunes with my mnk or war either. I was so horribly unequipped, it was a bad sight, the term noob would definately come into play for me. I didn't actually start farming until I starter playin my pld. LOL, now I farm way too much, for some reason I have the mind set I need the best equipment on the AH, which unfortunately has led me to very many hrs of farming :(. At any rate, I am happy with what I have now ^^.

Excited by retarded children? There are some things in life i don't want to know about. You're probably the kind of person that drives around neighborhoods looking for the "Slow Children Playing?" I always thought it was sad that the town would advertise that these children were slow, why can't they just let them play in peace. However, it is nice that they give them jobs later in life (Slow Men Working).

--- Paraphrased from a Stand-up Comedian (don't remember who, or i'd credit him/her)


On topic, i have seen the behavior you write of Misaku as well. I've seen them get caught in trees, climb up trees and randomly attack people as they follow our puller back to our camp.

Maybe the Goblins will be the first beastmen to form an alliance with Van'dail (sp).. I mean we already see 'good' Goblins in every town selling stuff and talking to us as friends.. Anyone that has completed Rank 5 knows how nice they really are (/cry).

I enjoyed watching the cutscenes for Rank 5. Kinda sad and exciting at the same time.

It is a bit nice to run into an IT gob at Dunes and not get aggroed, instead of having to make zigzag paths just to avoid them. But I do think it's quite amusing when a gob takes his sweet sweet time getting to the party because he's running in circles. Unless of course we're chaining them.

Ah well. Their mentality may have changed. Now I wished in some cases that their numbers would.
