Someone in another thread mentioned a closed door providing a couple of seconds of delay in a mob chasing you.
But why can't doors be blocked? I know many times in a game of tag, I have run through a door, closed it, and put my foot and shoulder against it to prevent my pursuer from getting to me.
Can something like this be implemented? I'm envisioning a lone mob maybe giving up after a minute, or maybe sneaking around the other way, or even getting his biggest buddy to smash the door to splinters. Now wouldn't that be a fun fight?
Your avatar looks too old to be playing a game of Tag. Lol.
However, I agree with your sentiment and idea.
