I am seeing these nave mesh issues too. In the crevice my pet mostly won't walk and won't attack mobs. Frenzy does not always apply even when pet is right next to me. When he does move half the time he walks away from the mob than attacks from a distance similar to my previous bug report here: https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...s-and-bears-attack-from-very-far-away.169340/ (this was at least mostly fixed by a previous nav mesh regeneration) Once the bear I had finally gotten to aggro on my pet teleported away then came back and aggo'd to me again. And mobs also attack from a distance even if they are melee.

 

Add to the above issues mobs regenning and walking away because they no longer remember we were fighting and an ice wall blocking me walking out of the crevice at the loc below (i walked back in and hugged the other wall and was able to get out, maybe that is intentional but I don't remember it there before)

Yeah that whole area is not playable at all.

 

Ok this is at least partly instance dependent. This morning i was in party mode so shouldn't have had instance master type issues or anything but croc would barely move and would stand there and not fight etc. And that instance had ice blocking a lot of the exit of the crevice so you had to go a particular way to get out. I joined a party with Dorn and Coswald in open mode and the crevice is acting more like it used to, the occasional pathing issue and one bear kind of inside a block of ice that had bigger pathing issues but mostly ok and there was not ice blocking the exit. Is the ice supposed to be random in some way? There was z fighting in both instances but that has never gone away since the zone was created.

edit: dorn says the ice block was in the open instance too but I just ran by it without noticing. so maybe that is always there
edit 2: standing by the ice block i saw it dissapear then reappear. might have nothing to do with pathing but i wasn't completely crazy when i didn't see it before lol

 

We also noticed when switching the scene master it is the master whos pet if affected the most, IE: behaves as shown in the pervious videos. When you are not the master your pet somewhat behaves but there are still issues but they are lessened.

 

And adding my 2 cents this is also affecting the Frost Giant. When I go in to taunt him to move where I want him he doesn't move at all just stands there looking at me. If I move in closer he starts his animations and then I back off taunting he sometimes does a 360 and moves a little bit. So I repeat the process to finally get him to where I want to tank him.

 

Thanks Sannio
