Are you trying to derail my thread sir? Post specifics about what you want fixed in a game mechanics thread with clear evidence such as I have done above.

Okay, how about....

These might be a good start considering they've both been around for longer than 3 years. xD

I don't specifically remember this always being the case and I played a Cleric/Enchanter combo through Live.

I think it was only some mobs in some places past a certain era.

Pretty sure this guy is the dwarf that got me killed a few times back in live. I just thought he could see invis period and would stay away from him.

Necro bump... is this still planning to be implemented? From that same link of yours, another post listing mechanic that has 'been around for years'...

There's a bug that's been around for years. When you charm a mob and then let the charm go, that mob now sees invisible. It wont be listed on thier buffs list but from then on till you kill them, that particular npc can see invis. Responsible charmers kill off their old pets , but this is a faction mob so thats not so simple. But this is why he sometimes sees and sometimes doesn't. When he does, someone was there before you trying charm.

That post was 8/17/2003, if the 'been around for years' is to be taken for what its worth, it would be put into velious time frame.

I don't believe this is in effect on P99 as I have invis'd past a ratman warrior that was holding summoned mage swords.

My theory is some developer didn't understand the hate list mechanics and was worried if someone charmed and invised themselves to break it, that the mob could not see them to attack. So as a fail safe charm triggered a see invis ability on the mob.

This honestly explains a lot as you dig through posts of people saying a mob 'does not see invis' but someone chimes in saying 'he CAN see invis. Jumped my wizard that was running through zone while invised'. Pretty common to see that sort of thing in a ton of mob listing posts.

Just my 2cp.
