I wasn't fixing what apio was talking about, for the reasons that Treats mentioned. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Still busted

Personally not seen them stay still at all post-FD; they return to their stations immediately, even on first pull. Mostly been doing tis with sarnaks in the ruins at OT.
Also apparently if I try to FD off some of the random roaming aggros, they'll always be running back later to bite mah in the rear.

If you agro 2 mobs that are statics (who have never been agroed before, ie: just spawned), and FD, they walk back immediately at the moment. If you let them reset and pull again, they somehow are "debugged", and it won't happen again UNTIL they start walking back on their own, as explained in the OP.

Can someone confirm that /q out doesn't kill you anmore, once you got agro ? I died on numerous occasions doing it in the past so I have rephrained from doing that for a long time. With FD now being truly classic, you would have to "fix" that issue, or you basically gotta kill yourself everytime you get bad agro, and want to get rid of it. (or zone, but thats not an option for pulling in the Planes)

In classic if a monk fought a mob with a add then fd, the one that took damage would stick around alot longer here they both path reguardless if you fd, ALso even if they do return to the spawn points on a successful Fd, when i stand up they re aggro without even hitting them. That is not the way I remember, I know FD memory wipe did not work 100% of the time but seems like it is not working what so ever, was in KC yesterday and ended up training myself after a fd and warrior tagged I stood up after the mobs returned and boom i get a train kinda crazy.

I have experienced this some... I think it may have to do with them not being at 'home', part of the they are invisible thing. You sure it isn't a roamer nearby aggroing as he comes back for you?

The issue where mobs would randomly ghost past their spawn points and eventually appear invisible on the clients should be fixed, pending update.

Was in KC yesterday Pulling from Dog tower for group and during some points even being fd and mobs return to there spawning points i would grab aggro upon standing. It comes and goes i have had it work correcly and then not work at all so not real sure what is going on with this. It just seems broken still but has gotten a little better whatever has been changed still needs to be tweaked more think we are almost there lol

Thanks Kanras, any word on the fact they all immediately return home after a successful FD?

Still happening ^ (the notes about doing damage to one npc and having it stay longer is not currently an active modifier)

Also used fd 5 times on a static dungeon npc and wouldn't reset before returning home yesterday. /claps
