Monster AI suggestions

[ryankart]

There is many things that players do that monsters don't do. If we make these changes, monsters will be as exciting to kill as players!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Monsters can 'x'

 

 

 

a) 1/2 monsters spawn can wield flowers or a rubber chicken

 

 

 

B) one half of those monsters will 'x' with prayer

 

 

 

c) They will continue 'x'ing untill one minute, and then the monsters respawn after a certain amount of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Monsters will now pray

 

 

 

a) All monsters have 43 prayer

 

 

 

B) 1/10 Monsters will have 80 prayer

 

 

 

c) 1/2 will pray on site

 

 

 

d) 1/2 prays inacorrdance to your combat style

 

 

 

e) This does not affect the Kalphite, but she may 'x'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Monsters will now run

 

 

 

A) 1/4 monsters run on site

 

 

 

B) 1/2 of monsters will run and pray at 10hp or less

 

 

 

C) All monsters that run will try to get you stuck in objects

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Monsters will now teleport

 

 

 

A) 1/3 monsters spawn will have tele runes

 

 

 

B) 1/2 of those monsters will teleport on the first hit

 

 

 

C) The other will teleport at 20% health or less

 

 

 

D) All monsters will be equipped with a ring of life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. When monsters hit any amount of damage, or escape from you they will now say these phrases.

 

 

 

A) omfg owned

 

 

 

B) omg u shk

 

 

 

C) run plz

 

 

 

D) hahahaha I escape u shk

 

 

 

E) its stupid to have honor on an online game

 

 

 

F) everytime you attack or the monster attacks it will say 'noob'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note1: Teleblock and Bind spells will work so melees and rangers will now be underpowered when fighting monsters!!!!!!!!!!!

wow slayers gonna be hard to train.

This is definitely an interesting idea. I agree that the monsters should be a little smarter, and should have some of the abilities that us players have. I think you go a bit overboard with some of your suggestions, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always thought it a bit odd that you can stand behind a pile of bones and shoot arrows at a dragon while it just stands there and watches you do it. The dragon should either retreat out of arrow range or figure out a way to move around the pile of bones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it would make training more difficult, but in trade, those "smarter" monsters would also give you better experience.

I doubt he was being entierly serious...do you really think he is honestly suggesting monster to call us noobs? Teh author of this thread is obviously sour about the state of the wild, and pking, and decided to make this post to be funny, and/or rant. Regardless, i do agree monsters need better AI. Maybe monsters of a certain lvl or race should be smart enough to go around stuff, or run away...i dunno.

I watched a guy get attacked by that new chicken random event. It was hilarious. I hope that Runescape isn't turning into a place full of silliness, but a little here and there is ok, I suppose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for which monsters would get and "enhanced AI," I think it would highly depend upon the monster. Some monsters are just plain dumb, other monsters are smart, yet other monsters are clever or crafty. These aspects should be reflected in the way they fight. Unfortunately, most monsters just stand there and hack at you. Dragons have different attacks but I think their attack each round is determined randomly rather than any thought put to it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It would be cool to have a monster that actually strategized against you as you fought it. Combat would be more fun because you'd actually have to pay attention to what the monster was doing rather than just monitor your health and eat a fish once in a while until the monster dies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, if you turned on your protect from melee prayer, the monster should stop attacking melee. If it doesn't have any other attacks, then it should retreat and try to get you to waste your prayer energy while you chased it around.

Hehe, those are pretty fun ideas. 'Twould be exciting I feel.

 

 

 

However, don't forget it's a java game. While it's possible to do it's quite time consuming (I imagine) and for every single monster? Eep.

 

 

 

I hope AI like the evil chicken might be brought into the new addition of monsters. That way atleast, we'd have some fun like you proposed.

Jagex needs to give almost all the monsters some kind of secondary missile (ranged/magic) attack. Ice warriors with ice darts, ice giants throwing an ice hatchet, lesser demons throwing fireballs, guards using crossbows, moss giants using a damaging bind spell, red spiders firing webs to lower your accuracy, and whatever you can imagine.

PLEASE tell me you're kidding if all monsters had a ring of life can you imagine how hard it would be to kill like the kbd not to mention like a few other million things that would go wrong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides,i dont know if any of you have noticed but the new monsters on waterbirth island do act pretty smart,they work as a team and try to do everything they can to kill you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and xerowing,imagine how hard it would be to train ranged if every monster you were fighting like hurled fireballs back at you.

That would be the point of having "smart" monsters. There are a few quest monsters that require you pay attention during the battle and change your attack mode. I think it would be cool if this type of opponent existed for every level of player - not just the high levels. This way we'd get them as slayer missions and such.

[kaibani]

I think that the Kalphite Queen, and KBD should NOT be an NPC. What I mean is that JaGeX should have some of it's crew control it. That would make it a worthwhile trip and experience.

[lpinkus]

If a monster called me a noob, I think I'd have to stop playing for a while :)

I think this belongs in the "useless subjects" forum... Oh wait, there is none.... Shouldn't have been posted then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you don't like noobs, don't pk. Simple as that. Oh, and BTW, OF COARSE PEOPLE WILL RUN if you attack them with a team..... :roll:

[Crim_nimora]

great so this way we can all chill in lumbridge and fally waiting for a KBD to use its ring of life and pop up with a 10th of its health.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And to have the NPC's insult us is a terrible suggestion, many players are very impressionable and for JAGeX to promote people insulting others...well thats not gonna help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all in all a bad idea.

A team of lvl 50's attacked me when i was lvl 85...I didn't run...beat down 4 of em...but didn't have the food to fight the pure mage....so i died for the mage's hard work.

It's not like they have to hit very hard or very accurate. Just enough so you don't have the ability to sit in 1 area for a week because monsters can't touch you and you have 100,000 arrows on you.
