Miscellaneous: Significant NPC Ghosting, Boat Issues Since Patch

[rixardion]

I've noticed significant ghosting of mobs since the last patch. While running around Nro/NK/BW on my bard, nearly half the mobs I've tried to pull have been actually out of range. I've watched a sand giant that appeared to be directly in front of me go from 100% gradually down to 0%. The giant was actually being fought about 200 units away by the docks.

Also, since the last patch, when mobile mobs first spawn they spin in circles as do boats now.

Another thread has been made about this but the boat from Timorous to OT is also no longer arriving in Timorous.

I have a strong suspicion that all the above issues are caused by the latest ghosting "fix":

Alecta: Players should see significantly less ghosting when people shadow step, intra-zone gate, and intra-zone port.

This may not be the case, but if it is, I would choose seeing some ghosting when someone shadowsteps to the mess we have now any day!

Please reverse/rollback whatever is causing these issues please!!

Thanks to all staff! You guys are great!
