Fleeing for creatures

Got an idea? Keep it to yourself!! Just kidding, leave them here and discuss them with your fellow players.

Fleeing for creatures

Sometimes when your enemy is near to death, they decide to flee for their lives. But what i noticed is that npc's don't have the x second delay after they hit or cast at you, like players do have. Why not give them that delay as well?

Let us extend this natural idea a little further -- harmonising creature and player combat behaviour. Perhaps we should allow all creatures to flee when it suits them and to go and heal themselves up at a the medic centre -- returning when they are ready, perhaps with a friend or additional resources.

The line between what creatures may do and what players may do has to be drawn somewhere. For now at least, it is drawn here: I'm reliably informed that the code around this element is horrendous so it is unlikely to change soon in any case.

Hmm, that the same as the 3 sec casting for creatures? Cause i see guardians and other paladin creatures casting every 3 sec instead of 5 sec (for players)

Hm - I don't see this. Maybe there is something wrong with your watch? I had a healing race with a vigil knight (paladin) and whilst I can cast every 3 seconds, he could only cast every 5. It looks alright in my testing.

Hmm, pretty sure i saw them casting faster. Oh well, nevermind then.
