| mobs health? will I know if he is close to death? |
|
The subject lines says it all. How do I tell if a mob is close to death. I was on a mob using hand-to-hand for 30 min. and just gave up. I didn't even know if I was phasing him. |

you will know when he falls down. There is no indication of his health but his taunts, maybe. How well you are doing can be seen by your health

so if I run into a mob, I just have to guess if I can take him and hope I am not trying to kill a lv 8 mob at lv 3...that kina sucks but I can see how it can be realistic, but at the same time you should be able to see if a mob is close to death, because that is a real life thing, but I will just have to learn the lvs of mobs and see if I can do this. bummer |

This is one of the most serious design flaws in the game, IMO. We need *something!* Damage skins, numeric indicators, hp bar...every rpg on the planet gives you SOME type of feedback during battle.
And it seems that at least a simple bar or numeric indicator would be pretty easy to put into a patch.
Spread the word!

Well I think you get some good indications what you can attakc and what not:
- NPCs are Wysiwyg, if they wear kickass armor they are probabgly not going to be easy targets
- It will not take long to figure out how difficult certain monsters are, but you will have to try them out first... adds some exitement the first time around 
-Carful with those wimpy-looking robe-wearers, probably its a magician...
Feedback during battle:
- Bloodsplats when you hit and hurt animations: If you swing and swing and nothing happens you know you are in trouble.
- If you have insuffisient material to hit, its displayed on screen. Likewise with magic resistances etc I think.
- Your own healthbar and hurtscreen effect.
- NPCs will react according to how they judge your strength: Call for help, flee, taunt you and attack you themselves
I think its enough feedback, and actually will add some exitement in the long run, since taking on a new monster will always be a step in the dark. And I please, please nothing like a health bar or numbers that float above the NPCs head, thats so ugly and unrealistic! |

The other problem I had is trying to do a quest and knock some dude out and I didn't even have an idea how I was doing. Is there any other way to knock out a mob with out killing him other then fists? |

mob:(n.) [From 'mobile' or 'movable object', an old MUD code term]
Any NPC capable of moving around on it's own. |
