Title: Mobs in South Drachvald Spur avoiding combat
Reproduction Rate: ?
Blocker? No
Details: Maybe this is by design, but the bandits and skeletons in South Drachvald Spur don't seem to act like their counterparts in other scenes. Sometimes bandits seem to ignore me - one was practicing swordplay and he didn't stop even after I attacked him. Both skeletons and bandits run from me after I hit them a couple of times. One Ebon Cultist Fighter just kept running at me, then when I hit him, he ran away, recovering HP, then turned and ran at me again. This happened over and over until I finally got a critical hit and killed him.
EDIT: The same happens with Corpions - they end up running away.

@Kara Brae if you are too highlevel for the mobs they fear you and flee as far as the programmer lets them only to return to their starting position....

 

This is interesting, but it doesn't make much sense, because how would a mob (even a corpion) know my "level"?

This behavior can't be common to all other low-level scenes now because the mobs (bears, boars) in North Midmaer way (also tier 2) didn't act this way.

 

@Kara Brae
What's your adventure level? You can find this out by hoving over your name on the paperdoll.
I would kind of have to see it to really understand whether this is intended or bugged behavior.

 

Thanks for the reply. I am level 77. I just logged into the new patch (I was in the scene South Drachvald Spur) and did not experience the aberrant behavior of mobs fleeing from me. Bandits, skeletons and corpions attacked normally and did not stop attacking until dead. So either something changed in the patch, or the cowardly behavior I experienced yesterday was a glitch.
