Behavior of Luciola Vespa
When Episode 13.1 Ash Vacuum, "The Beginning of the Otherworld", was first implemented I did the "Onward to the New World Quest" on my Lv 99 Super Novice. After completing the time consuming quest I ventured to New World through the Dimensional Gorge. When I arrived there were some people talking about the insane monsters out in the field and people had chat rooms up saying "Beward of the BEES! o_o" or "OMG WTF BEES!".
Cautiously I journyed out into Splendide Field. I first ran into Pinguicula, which my Twin Edge of Naght Sieger (Fire) easily sliced through and disposed of them, but then I ran into Luciola Vespa, the bee, and I was like, "OMG...AGI UP...Freakin Speed Pot...RUNS!!". It didn't chase me and it didn't even flinch. I decided to take it on head on without really reseaching about it. I defeated it, but it had brought me into Mental Strength and was about to kill me.
Deciding people were overreacting I announced to people fishing in camp that the Luciola Vespa was passive. I escorted a Lv 85 Priest out into Splendide Field who was doing the "Finding a Fairy" quest. I brought along a Lv 99 Fencer mercenary to accompany us because I still didn't know what to expect in the New World. As we approached a Luciola Vespa, it quickly maneuvered past Wayne, the Fencer, and myself and stabbed the Priest dead. I was like, "WTF...". Right after it killed the Priest it went back to its innocent passive self. We tested this with some other players and talked about it in camp and determined, the Luciola Vespa is level discriminatory against non-Lv 99s.
=====================================================================
My question and topic to discuss during this system maintenance is...
- Why are Luciola Vespa passive to Lv 99 characters?
- Will there be monsters that discrminate level in future maps?
- Do you like or dislike monsters like this?
EDIT: Fixed small gammar errors.
