Game Mechanics: Having trouble after patch. HELP!

[thedjnikki]

Hello, I am not sure what has changed, I am new to the server, I have been here for 2 weeks.

After the patch on Sunday, I logged in, and went to go fight in North Ro.

I attacked a giant desert beetle, and at about 30% of it's health left, it ran. But the problem is, it ran too fast! I don't have SoW, and I could not catch up with it. It just kept running around.

So anyways, I went to EC and got a SoW, and tried again. The same thing, it ran, but I kept up with it, but it kept saying i was too far away to hit it. I was right on top of it the whole time, but could not hit. I eventually grouped up with Cleric, and we used Root and killed it.

------------------

Next we went to Derv Camp 1. I pulled the first Dervish, and it hit me 12-15 times in 2 seconds, and I died. It was like it had 0 delay.

Anyways, I camped out thinking that there was just bug problems with the patch.

Is this issue being worked on? I can't really play because I am new and don't have any friends to SoW me to fight mobs.

thank you for all the hard work making the server! -Bootoo
