View Full Version : What's your most hated mobs?
I was running to regents the other day through the random cache of hurlers, butchees and mutants and thought "Man, there's a collection of my most hated mobs in NC".
Wherever you are, whatever mobs are about, butchees/hurlers are the most annoying bastards. They attack from miles away, make the whole screen shake when they plant a grenade at your foot and have enough health to make taking them down a conscious effort no matter what level.
I don't like the mutants either because there's always one prick with a bloody nail gun knocking me about.
What's your most hated? Either because they look ugly, have annoying behaviors or some other reason.

I should say all weapon using mobs are they can all aim faster than you can and out range you by miles. (mutants and spiderbots are rediculous for this)
Top of my list probably is Grim Perc due to it's insane damage and sometimes invisible attack and HOPPERS! They may only be rank 68 but once they get a couple of stacks of fire on you it really starts to hurt.
Terror Raptors are also bad as they can spawn tons of giant raptors which also do stacking fire damage attacks that will take you down quick if caught out in the open.
Gotta agree that hurlers and mutants are the most annoying due to screen shake and constantly being pushed about from mutant nail gun or rifle hits.

Doy Bomber. Doy Drones. Ceres Soldiers. Grim Persis. WBTs. Those who insta kill a fully buffed CON-WoC 8 Tank...

Actually yeah this too. Mobs who simplely do far too much damage per hit. High level mobs should be difficult/hard but rewarding to fight. Not instant death unless you have a PPU strapped to you and even then you can be easily killed.
Y-Reps are another on this list.

Don't agree too much with that. If you don't need a PPU to survive some hits a 100/100 Hoverbot would simply be a joke compared to you being a 70/65ish.
I only hate Hoverbots because they get stuck in trees and often you need to relog to hack/loot them.
Mobs that I hate most are Units (Artillery/defence/...)! They get pulled from tiny bits of actions, their hitbox sucks and they often come in hugh bunches.

Still fucking annoying if you get sniped out of your vehicle from miles away by a DoY Hover bomber out of nowhere. It wouldn't be a problem if they weren't swarming all over TH entrances and nuking everything on sight...

If mobs had the same delay in aiming and range as players then yeah them hitting you for almost all your health per hit might not be an issue, but they don't. They can snipe you across a zone and seemingly instantly lock on/aim you as soon as you are out from cover. (also the whole client/server delay/health bounce issue makes it even worse. doesn't matter if you've got the right armour on and have high resists, 2 quick successive hits will kill you before the client updates the damage taking your resists into account)
Then of course there's also the fact that mobs like the DoY bots are usually in groups.

Black Roachs. Hate those cunts.
Y Reps and DoY Bots.
Nothing ruins a good venture warp quite like landing in between 10 of these mobs clustered together for some unknown purpose other than to give you a plasma colonic.

The guys in Lost Outskirts.
They're level 2 guys that almost kill you in one shot at lower levels because their shotgun damage is just ridiculous. (Don't worry, your legs will be too knackered to escape the second shot!)
The respawn timer on them is pretty crazy too, if you kill them on your way in, they'll all have respawned since chatting to the NPC for the Jones mission.
I usually 'set kill self' just because it's easier than trying to run out.

This by far.. It's quite annoying if you are a noob that has never played the game before trying to do the noobie missions from the helpful man in your apartment..
