However, let's say a party was RPing in a dungeon and everyone died. Would that still mean the whole group was knocked out/wounded, or would you RP that the group retreated and it's the individuals' decision to say if they were wounded or not?
Different RPers are going to handle this differently. Â If there's a serious RP going on and there needs to be some continuity to it, everyone might reassemble and pretend the wipe never took place. Â Otherwise, perhaps not. Â Dying vs. KO is another one of those hot topics that no two RPers will have the exact same viewpoint on.
22. What's your favorite FFXIV monster? When a mob aggros is that taken into account in RP? Such as if a group was discussing a plan and was camped out somewhere when all of a sudden something comes waltzing in and attacks someone. Would that be RPed as an unexpected ambush, or would the group kill it and ignore that it happened?
Mandragora!! Â This is going to vary widely depending on who you're RPing with and their preferences/style. Â Not everyone will roll with random ocurrances like that, and many will treat the intrusion as something that didn't happen. Â But this all depends on the exact situation and the people with whom you're playing. Â To use an example, we'd sometimes have some mobs spawn in the middle of RP and someone would use a job-ability but just say quickly OOC first, "not doing this ICly" - everyone's going to handle this differently though.
Thanks again Eva! So I guess the safe bet if either of these situations occur is to wait and see what others do and either act IC or OOC to continue along.
