New Monster Movement

[HolyKnight]

I saw on the news feed about the Monster NPCs' movement was changed as well as tracking. IMO I liked it better the old way. The monsters are way to sporadic now and it is very very difficult to right click them until they are right on you attacking.

You can't attack a moving monster, because if you see the grafik moving, technically the monster is allredy at the next tile. - I think as soon as this issue is solved the new movements won't trouble you anymore.

Thats just plain wrong Rincewind. You attack the graphic of a monster. So if you manage to click its graphic you will start the attack. No matter if it moves around or not.

Now what is the problem with clicking them? Are they moving too fast or what is it?

Not sure I think I am clicking on the monster but never get the red circle. Yes their movements were quite sporadic and fast, yesterday especially with small monsters such as spiders. It was like they were not bound to a certain x,y plane too. I can say for certain yesterday even with big creatures like a Golem or Bear if I right-clicked on them while they were moving I would never get the red circle. I had to wait for the creature to be in an adjacent square to right-click.

Yesterday the server had major problems with the performance. Try it again today.

Yes things seem much better today. Thanks Nitters!
