Anson McBale moved

[evilkorn]

Apparently someone pulled him away from his spawn and he did not move back and is in front of Highpass Keep. Is there any way you can put him back?

[Rogean]

Norrath is a free country. I don't see any problem with Anson taking a stroll.

[evilkorn]

Is he supposed to path back and reset or get bugged out in a wall?

I'm not aware of any current issues which cause npcs to bug and not return home. If anyone knows how to reproduce this, let me know.

[Freakish]

Whoever moved it bugged it out so they could spawn Stanos (conveniently away from Anson) and kill him.

Sure, Anson will run back to assist Stanos but he takes the long way back. Anson is (was?) currently dropped off the ledge on the way to Highkeep.

When Stanos is agroed it causes a zone-wide assist for NPCs on his faction, they all make their way to wherever he is, whether that is at his spawn point or if he was training somewhere else. when his agro drops (whether you zoned or died) all of those mobs that were making their way to him will stop where they are and stay there

Stanos being agro is what causes this. once Stanos was dictated and non agro the mobs would all begin to wander back to their respective spots. then you just had to zone to highpass hold before dictate wore off (dictate wearing off would cause stanos to be agro again and trigger the zone assist again)

as long as you zoned with no new stanos agro the mobs will all return to where they were supposed to be. I did this several times to reset the mobs that were all gathered up into a blob or off in random areas after we finished a Stanos kill.

I don't know how to reset them all without charming Stanos though. And he cant be charmed anymore.


Nilbog,

you can reproduce this by agroing stanos and then zoning. all of the mobs that zonewide assist will stop where they are and stay there

Anytime they got bugged you could tag them with a jav and then FD, that would force them to reset.

This is currently happening again, They are absolutely destroying evil passerbys, including myself. he's currently bunched with 4 other NPC's near the Kith ZL
