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!

Are these issues still present after the downtime/update today?

[rixardion]

Oh I apologize wholeheartedly! I was unaware there was an update today! I hope that they have been resolved, but I will be unable to personally test until later this evening!

Thanks for your prompt response Nilbog!

I noticed a lot of this going on while levelling my noob cleric in ecommons today AFTER the server reboots/downtime.

[rixardion]

I was just able to play for a bit, and while it is MUCH better than it was, it still happened a few times to me. I was unable to test the boat stuff.

Still lots of ghosting on roaming mobs in South Karana after the reboot.

The spinning mobs on respawn seems to be fixed though.

Spinning still occurs, not as bad though

[Haynar]

Where does spinning occur?

Yesterday I have seen it in SF, BW, DL
SF may have been a fluke, it was snared when I had to zone. I also couldn't cast on it. Cannot see target message. Until snare broke then he munched me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ghosting, I'm seeing everywhere
