    Title: "Traveler" encounter - multiple waves of Atavists
    Reproduction Rate: unknown but I have had this happen at least once before. May be 100%
    Blocker? no
    Details: Finished a desert encounter, killed the last of the wave atavists and went to search for any remaining silver nodes and found the quest NPC hanging out by their spawn-in point (114.134, 131.783, 182.222) and not heading toward the center). As I approached (statue vendor if I remember right) he vanished and my fire elemental squawked, as they do when attacking. An atavist unifier apparently spawned-in ... as if the zone reset to the beginning but not quite because not all of the usual atavists are present. I took out these re-spawned atavists, then found another Knight Purifier and other high-level atavists hanging out around the center of the zone ... When I went to engage them they were gone by the time I got there....

    After taking a trip around the zone, I again see an atavist and a Luminous atavist. It's like it's doing a full on wave battle over and over.

    Finally after 3 Luminous Atavists I got a pilgrim actually talk with me here:
    Area: Desert Encounter (RandomEncounter_Desert01/Atavist) Loc: (192.889, 135.171, 137.681) DBG: UmFuZG9tRW5jb3VudGVyX0Rlc2VydDAxfEF0YXZpc3R8KDE5Mi44ODksIDEzNS4xNzEsIDEzNy42ODEpfCgwLCAwLjk4NiwgMCwgMC4xNjkpfC0yMTQuMzg1OHwyMy4yNDUzMXwxLjQ5

    But he (this time) just wandered around a bit.

    Here's all of the atavists that tasted my bow:

    That's a high body count for a single "Traveler" encounter. And an example of Elysium Illumination's incineration of a helpless rabbit (not an undead).

    Note that this may be 100% reproducible as while re-entering another encounter to get the statue vendor's location I found the more-or-less the same thing happened, except I got both an pilgrim and an ecology researcher. While standing near the ecology researcher and typing this up, the scene reset again and another round of unifiers and their dog spawned - and the atavists, including a luminous with 3 black pearl and 30 gold. (really? 3 pearl and 30 gold...)

    Got another pilgrim after this one ... as I approached he faded away on me.
    I have a feeling I could just keep going wave after wave ... Yup. Off in the distance I can see a unifier.

    Note that I did collect the prayer card and survey ticket from the first two quest NPCs. I kind of want to see if a bounty hunter shows up.

    Steps to Reproduce: Enter a desert Atavists encounter and defeat all the atavists.
