Town NPCs poofed/missing since patch

[tristantio]

I didn't come across this on blue last night, but on red in paineel over 50% of the NPCs were simply missing - is this a known issue since patch? (NPCs randomly poofing)?

It's like this in a ton of zones on red. Red is basically an alpha server atm lol.

From what I can tell the NPCs aren't missing necessarily, they are just warped to random spots all over the zones.

But ya, red is effectively unplayable right now if you need to interact with an NPC and can't find it (spell vendors for new players for example).

I had the same issue on red last night. The banker would be over in the Cleric merchants and all the NPCs would be clustered into a big pile. You couldn't interact with any of them.

I found a workaround though. I would log out and back in and 1/2 the time, the NPCs would then be in their correct spots and you could interact. A few times it did take 2-3x.

yea Neriak Commons all of the NPC's are clumped together in one spot and they can't be used, even banker is there and cant bank.

Bleh. Edited

anyone got a fix for this? Someone in ooc was talking about logging in and out, tried to confirm, but it didn't fix the issue.
