Mobs and elevators

[Todd Z]

Wasn't there a time when mobs would chase you and even follow you up an elevator?  Does that still happen?

On some missions, very rare though. Usually an ambush mob will, not a regular spawned  mob.

Is that the secret?  I've wondered why some do, some don't.

I don't know if it's a secret, but it's something I've observed. Ambush mobs from Legacy Chain, Wyvern, Tsoo, Family, even Longbow and Rikti have followed me down elevators like how the premature protectors in Doc Buzzsaw's arc will chase you down (2 elevators even); but normal mobs will lose interest and go back to their post if you slip inside a lift. Also, Ambush mobs that spawn from clicking a glowie will rush to where you were when the NPC chatter is uttered (in chat). So as soon as they say their line, move to a different spot and you can catch them off guard.

They can kill you with mind bullets but they havent learned how to use an elevator...

Now I so want a scene of Daleks facing the front of an elevator, the eye stalks slowly bobbing and weaving to The Girl from Ipanema.

Ambushes will usually take the elevators, but others will usually not. I'm unclear on whether an ambush will take the elevators after they've already encountered a player, though.

 

Plant Control's Spirit Tree will take the elevators, if the owner does.

Great now I'm imagining Daleks in Granite Armor staring down curbs and trying to figure out how to get into City Hall.

Maybe it's even based on maps. I've had Arachnos in the level 20-30 tip mission to save homeless from indoctrination follow through the giant elevator the map uses, which is a much newer asset than usual ones.
