Game Mechanics: NPC pathing after being disengaged

[Menien]

Still a remote chance the memblur works but for the most part /q is the safest way.

The dancing/rotation the mobs do is more than just a graphical artefact. They indeed turn indifferently/scowl/indifferently/scowl if you spam consider them (with sneak on) as they're dancing. Timing is everything. And it's extremely unreliable. But it works.

[paroxysmal]

yea this is majorly broken at the moment. literally unless you want to brute force your way through every encounter you could do it, but if you are trying to get monk tags its about impossible.

[Lojik]

Anytime there is a z axis change it seems mobs have a tendency to do a straight line float back to their spawn (at least in hate.) Brought new meaning to moonwalk lol

my bard is loving pulling duties!

I have also noticed weird behaviour (in MM), with some mobs pathing back normally and some mobs doing short distance teleports (while facing the other way) on the way back to their spawn point.

Furhtermore, the guards outside of the piano room would for some reason run into the piano room and bring all werewolves/dancers as well, which was a bit surprising.

So last night I was on my necro doing BG's root/rotting. Went to split up 2 on one of the roof pillars. I used screaming Touch on one and swam to the back of the building (towards the sarnak fort). Was having problems rooting the BG I didn't st and had to fd it off. Screaming Touch wore off the 1st BG while I was FD. 2nd BG started to path back so I stood and rooted it, then the 1st BG added. Aggro is definitely not working correctly.

On top of the wonky pathing bug, I noticed:

Mobs in seb last night refused to mem-blur, even after FD'ing and allowing them to return to their static spawn points. Sneak wasn't working as it normally would as well.

[Menien]

From what I've found mobs will forget you if you sneak/FD behind them in their natural state at spawn. They won't memblur if you FD in their view from their spawn.

Mobs warping / moonwalking / spinning while resetting and remembering FDer after returning to spawn point with sneak on and off. Very sad monk. How is this thread not blowing up?!

Because the 65% of the server not playing a monk most likely HATE monks and are enjoying the LoL. Seriously I have more deaths attributed to monks not in my party than my own/my parties personal mistakes. Let'em rot for all I care. That's what Lull is for.
