Title: Overland Random Bandit Encounter Not Engaging
Reproduction Rate: 1 time so far
Blocker? No
Details: I left Superstition Canyon on the west side. I noticed a bandit encounter in the hills to the north. I went to it in order to see what type of scene it would be. It never engaged me. I even clicked it. It still didn't engage. A /whoismaster reported Karrin Murphy as the master. My avatar is Ian Berie.
Steps to Reproduce: As above.

Area: Novia
Area Display Name: Novia
Loc: (-230.4, 18.7, 120.5)



Edit: A second bandit found at 1:24PM (6 minutes after first) at Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-214.3, 20.8, 299.6) is the same. Karrin Murphy, again, is the master.

Edit: A wolf pack found at 1:28PM (4 minutes later) at Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (127.6, 20.2, 326.3) is the same. Karrin Murphy, again, is the master. In addition, some strange sounds are associated with the wolf pack... it sounds almost like combat sounds of some type.

Edit: Are random encounters on for this release? I came across a skeleton in the sands near Grunvald Shardfall. It is laying face down, as when they are when not activated. Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (367.2, 15.2, -43.0). Karrin Murphy, again. Heading to the nearby wolf pack....

Edit: The wolf pack won't engage. Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (401.5, 17.9, -78.7). Karrin Murphy.

Edit: Skeletons, they're awake at least, at Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (431.7, 15.8, -159.4). Karrin Murphy.

I'm having the same issue. I even loaded back into Point West then back to the overworld map and the bandit still will not engage.

Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-388.7, 17.4, 156.0)

Edit: And another at Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-212.0, 21.7, 299.2)

 

I finally got a wolf pack to engage me at around 2:27PM.

Could it be that Karrin Murphy avoided a random encounter, and the encounters ignored everyone else because of that? Perhaps she's logged off now and that freed them?

 

Appears to be working now. Unable to see the issue. Possible a connection issue with the master ofthe scene at the time that lagged out the npcs?

 

i just had the same thing, with a stag north of superstition canyon. i stood next to it, walked in front of it, basically harrased it for a good 30 seconds, but it did finally engage.

Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-230.6, 18.6, 120.5)

 

I tried replicating last night and had no issue engaging random encounters near Harvest and Point West and on the way to Brittany, and it was fine again when I logged in this morning; unfortunately I'm having the non-engage issue once again (just now as I'm posting this I'm standing next to a bandit who's whistling and ignoring me, has been for a minute or so). I zoned to the overworld map from Harvest and saw the bandit and immediately ran towards him while I still had the zoning glow and he continues to ignore me.

I'm in MPO.

Edit: I also ran east of Harvest to the skeleton on top of the hill and he would not engage me, either.
Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-221.3, 15.0, 308.6)

Edit 2: After just leaving my character by the skeleton and doing housework, he engaged just now, about 30-45 minutes after standing there next to him.

Edit 3: After leaving the skeleton encounter, I ran back towards Harvest, crossed the bridge to the same bandit giving trouble before. He would not engage, I stood there and timed it and it took 48 minutes for the bandit to finally engage.

 

Same issue here. I tried replicating this. Skeletons and then bandits just sat there or walked past me. Here are the locations I tried for the last 10 minutes.

Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (-1.5, 18.3, -291.7) -- Skeletons

Area: Novia (Novia) Loc: (58.0, 20.2, -228.1) -- Bandits

I even entered towns then reentered Novia Overland several times. Same results.

Update:

Cast light spell in front of these guys. Still the same issue.

 

In R36, I have to pan the camera around in order to start any encounter. Could this mean anything?

 

Believe we've identified the issue: 38348. Working on solutions now.
