Some NPCs dont react when attacked

Same as last time. Some monsters just sit there and take it when attacked.

Only see it happening with individual creatures tho. Not entire scenes

 

It seems those new node proctors are just bound to the harvesting node, but don't react to anything.

 

@Sindariya @EMPstrike
Do we have /bug examples of specific locations you're observing this at? Thanks for reporting.

 

I found it on my lunch break and reported it from my phone at work. I'll /bug it when i see it again if someone else doesnt first

But yes, the ones i saw were all right next to resource nodes

I saw it yesterday with the bears at the cave den in East Perennial Trail. It might be used to exploit skill gain (if that's even an issue with how the pooled xp works), which is how I noticed it because I was trying to level Animal Charm and Root at the time so I wasn't shooting stuff down quickly so it was pretty obvious when stuff wanted to just stand there and not do anything when being hit.

But I'm new and never used Animal Charm before so I didn't know how it was supposed to work to know what/if to report. Almost all the animals seemed weird when I charmed them, and I'd lose the ability to attack them until the charm wore off, and sometimes they'd just stop attacking and wander away in the middle of a fight even when not charmed, but those particular bears were different because they didn't move from their location while being attacked. Since I was a ranger though, I didn't move into melee range with them to see if they became aggressive within reach. And it wasn't all the bears that spawned there that it happened with, but the ones it did happen with were all in that location.

Hopefully that's helpful. Like I said, I'm new so I haven't figured out all normal mechanics yet to know for sure what the deviations are. Feel free to delete if it's not useful info.

EDIT: Appending to clarify that all the weirdness I saw was specific to just the animals. I was grinding in East Perennial Trail for a few hours to level up skills and did not see any of those problems with the humanoids or undead. But since I was using Charm Animal, I was also doing something different with the animals than the other mobs, too.

 

I found the problem. The fix will be in the patch for Monday morning. Thanks for the report.
