  okay, stop believing this urban legend of this being the "original/normal AI". Wood Jackals do not aggro within 3 seconds of entering a room without a single alert normally. Ciar Normal mobs do not multi-aggro like Baol Infiltration mobs "normally". Stop pretending to be pro with "oh this is normal AI u noobs can't handle it". It's not.

  I find this pretty funny (maybe not so much in alex's case). People complain and complain that mobs are too easy and that the only thing they can come up to make them "harder" is beefing up their stats. Then, when they make mobs actually challenging people can't handle them and complain that they should be toned down.
  
  If that isn't hilarious then i don't know what it is~

  This is what I was trying to say, but you worded it properly.

  First they whine about lag, then the AI is back to it's original state and they whine more.
  
  :srsly?:

  
  No.
  
  Here's the thing.
  We lag because they borked the server.
  They speed up the AI.
  We still lag because their idea of "fixing" it is making the monsters faster.
  They speed up the AI again.
  We still lag but now the monsters kill us even more often than before.

  Except that pretty much EVERYONE on Alexina is experiencing CONSTANT, ABNORMAL lag spikes that only freeze the character, but not the monster a lot of the times.
  
  Example:
  I attack a bear, bear pays attention to me.
  I'm aiming, click, does not fire. Get stuck at 99%, where it should automatically fire.
  Bear keeps running at me and hitting me.
  I die.
  
  There's a difference between a challenge and utter stupidity.
  I can handle bears. I can handle them well. What I can't handle is the lag when it only affects me and not the bear. I never used to lag this badly before.
  
  I'm not even going to go into rubberbanding on there. ****ing ridiculous.

  I've experienced that A LOT. Especially rubberbanding. It gets so frustrating, especially when it happens to the monster. I'm fighting the monster when it's in front of me and suddenly, it appears behind me and starts hitting me. Although...that may just be me.

  Bolded part, I've seen the videos, that's why i excluded you from my example~
  Alex has a valid excuse, I just find it pretty funny when people from the rest of the servers complain about super AI.

  Or when you rubberband so badly that you're shooting a bear that's not actually there so you keep missing 8D...
  
  The case may be exaggerated in Alexina but it's stupid when Nexon's fix for things when there's lag is making it even more unfair. x.x

  That I won't disagree with~

  Hyper AI doesn't add any challenge, though, it just makes things able to kill you faster than you can load a skill to defend yourself... which is not really increased difficulty, but plain unfairness.
  
  It'd be a challenge if it required strategy, and not simply using Fireball or Summon Golem with range glitch to overcome it... as it stands all it does is make an enemy aggro and position itself for attacking you before the previous enemy has hit the ground or you are released from the animation, even.... essentially a penalty for using close ranged attacks. Add Alexina's increased delay for everything player-sided and you stand even less of a chance.
