Miscellaneous: Significant NPC Ghosting, Boat Issues Since Patch

[imajester]

Aye, was happening in NK. Would target a Grizzly just standing there and nothing would happen. About 45 seconds later, it would poof (move to another place in the zone).

It is almost like there is no updates to the mobs because you were not near them and they actually moved, but the client still sees them where they were when the spawned. Only when you happen to be in the area where they are now does the client get updated and the mob 'moves' and begins to update correctly.

Significant Ghosting in Overthere as well.

Related to the TT Update Rate fix, perhaps?

its happening in any zone where mobs roam :P

I noticed in NK when the mobs were roaming I could cast on them, but when they stopped pathing and stood still is when I'd get the "cannot see target" message. Was a named gypsy I waited like 2 minutes for him to start pathing before I could nuke him lol

The ghosting is also affecting corpse locations.

Relogging fixes it, but I can see a corpse, target it, then drag it across a zone. The corpse will look like it never moved but won respond to a drag command. Relogging will show it's current location. Happened nonstop last Friday in sky and fear.

Sky corpse chains are nearly impossible now with duel corpses as clerics wont be able to res them without getting "target too far away" with a corpse right at their feet

necros summon the corpse and no one even sees where it ends up after the spell ends


this problem is actually creating some very detrimental game play, hopefully there are some fixes in the work

I was in SK on Sunday... Had 2 issues with NPCs ghosting.

Also was helping a buddy at the WC derv camp. Lots of the dervs were running in one direction, but the hitbox was moving in another. The sprite for the NPC was updating every 6 seconds or so.

Example:

1. Mob down to 15%, starts fleeing East
2. We chase East, says we are too far from target.
3. Mob appears south-east, continues to walk east again.
4. We chase, and are still too far from target.
5. Mob appears south-east, continues to walk east again.
6. Mob changes direction and updates fine.

I noticed that we could follow the hitbox if we could estimate which direction it was moving.
