Mob at 20% and poof ?

[Nello]

Ok , here is something which happened in various zones for me so far ( EC ,WC , Stone. Mountains as example)

I pull the mob with snare , I fear , send pet , dot etc ,easy to fight outdoors as we all know .

Now i get the mob down to 20% and sometimes , not always but every now and then , the snare wears off while the mob is trying to run away .


Ok , all normal everyone would agree , but now it gets funny . Every now and then when when snare wears off while it would start to run ( if not snared in the first place ) the mob poofs away to some unknown location . The dots still run , i get the dam msg , if the mob dies I get the kill msg but i DONT get exp for it .

I bug reported it twice now with no reply , now i just made another report along with a petition and a normal report with the snare worn off , dot msg , kill msg along with fction hits .


Been wondering if i am the only one out there or others have hd the same problem , please respond !

Been there. Done that. Sucks big time. All the work with no reward.

I did /bug it. Hopefully if enough people do so they will get off their duffs and do something about it soon. :rolleyes:

[Fizzleplink]

Yep; frequently when Feared, too. There was a write-up somewheres on this board about it.

[pestario]

same here, pisses me off I have bugged and pettioned at least 10 times

[Salizarr]

Something familiar happened to me 3 times tonight.
I was in DSP killing Zelniaks. Pulled with darkness, VoS, sent pet, cast fear and as soon as fear landed, POOF! Mob gone, but i still had it on my target and it was still loosing hp.

I waited and waited and when i finally got bored of waiting and started fighting other things, that mob came charging on me out of nowhere! Thanks god for FD!

I /buged it. Hopefully they will take a look.

This happened to me last night in PoD agro kitting Flies..I would get them to 5% or so and poof! Still targeted and losing HPs but tried to nuke it..it said "you can't see your target."

From Spellbook area (http://www.necrotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=286) is where the huge fleeing bug came in.

It was decided it was a bug from SOE trying to fix some pathing issues, the mob ends up below ground or some such. It only happens in some zones, and apparently only in parts of those zones (I have it happen regularly neer the dark elf outpost in OT, but at the SF ramp it didn't happen at all).

That topic is already on page 3, and there is a list toward the end of the various zones people have reported problems occuring (informal list, not from SOE, just me listing all the places had reported in the thread).

also happening in PoV and PoS

[Vaelhan]

happens all the time in PoV, i lose 7 or 8 mobs a day cuz of it , just somethin you learn to deal with BUT what happens is they don't poof they just warp to another spot in the zone, for PoV the wurms and subduers who warp go east past GY a bit so maybe if you do a bit of looking you can find out where the poof to, not really worth it unless your just really peeved that you did all that work but just my 2cp worth

Here is the issue, a number of patches ago SoE put in a pathing "fix" that was suppose to make the mobs have more realistic pathing. In reality it was to get rid of pathing glitches that made it where you could kite some mobs in circles without them ever hitting you in certain places where there were pathing bugs. However, there was a decided problem now with fear pathing; which you are now experiencing. They have known about it for some time, but as of yet have not fixed it. All I can say is bugreport frequently....

I don't know if you guys remember but it used to happen at Orc Highway in Oasis. Folks would be killing orcs and when they got down to low health, the orc would all of the sudden disappear and respawn out by the water near the pillar.

A lot of times, I think the mob is actually respawning across the zone. Sometimes, if you wait long enough, they will find you.

The other day I was soloing greyhoppes in Marus Seru and that same thing happened. He disappeared at about 5% health. It only took about 30 seconds for him to regen to 100%. I figured I'd never see him again so I pulled another one. After bringing it back, I noticed my pet was gone and I see the words, "taunting attacker master." I had to FD while my pet was getting killed. Well, it's always nice to know my pet can tell these things apart, they all look the same to me.

[drewz21]

I've been having this problem quite a bit lately too. I've been fear-kiting in Stonebrunt Mountains and Great Divide.

Very upsetting to have the mob just poof on you while you can still see it's life tick down from your dots. Then having to FD to clear aggro because they will come back!

I've /bug'd about 9 times. Hopefully this can be fixed soon. I finally gave up and went into Kaesora and just fought the undead. Really wanted to work on my faction with the dwarves and COV though.

Good hunting all!

i often solo on my monk in DL and i think the problem is with fear / snare type problem cause i use my intimadate to fear the mob and if i intemidate at low HP or if it wears off when mob has low HP will will disapear ohh well

this also happened to my necromancer in the great divide while killing the big giants although i figured out were the pop up at it is near the side of zone i guess i should report this also so they will fix it

It happens alot to me if I am near a area with Mountains - Trees - Tall objects. With the 2D area the MOB ends up (UP!) on top and you can't see it - if you are not with in a certian range you won'g get exp.

This doesn't appear to be a simply a fear kiting issue. I was farming for pelts and silks in EK, and having my pet beat on everything until it was dead. One mob in 6 or 8 would simply vanish to somewhere else. Not dead, because I still had it targetted, and it'd be at low health, but somewhere else in the zone. If my pet didn't have another target (I was queueing up targets to clear the mobs as quickly as possible), it'd run and try find it sometimes.

Real pain in the ass.

MAIDEN'S EYE!!!

Been doing a good amount of soloing and duoing to the right of the DSP ZL, killing gorangas, and I noticed to that many times when I would let snare where off, as soon as it did...POOF. Got pretty annoying, but best thing I might be able to say is...DO NOT LET SNARE WEAR OFF!!

[Doomfir]

It happens when you are agro kiting or fear kiting. It also happens with snare on and when snare is off. It is pathing problem where in the equation one of the coordinates (x, y, or z) get shifted to a long way away than what it should have been. It should be a fairly simple fix, but it was created in the pathing "fix" patch a number of months ago and hasnt been fixed yet.

[deathtognomes]

Was in Skyfire, farming spells off the guardian wurms, when I get a tell from a bard that both Eldrig the Old, and Talendor were up, and he wanted Eldrig dead, and being that Eldrig summons and he was level 50, he needed help.

So I run over, kill Eldrig, and have him track Talendor for me.

Hit Talendor with Malo, then slow, which stuck the first time, yay!

A few rounds of dots, doing around 600/tick, keeping Torpor on myself at all times to not only keep my health up, but to avoid running anywhere if I get feared, which happened only once. Doggie had taunt off, and Talendor ignored him....until...

At 17% he poofed, but I still had him targeted, dots still going on him. He summons my puppy, dots tick him down to 13%, he get pup to 10% health, puppy enrages (I think, he stayed at 10% for a while), then he kills puppy, and summons me. One dot wears off, and he ticks to 10%, and enrages, I cast another dot on him, it lands, he drops to 9%, turns to run....then POOFS...gone. No target, no more summons, no faction message, nothing...just gone. =/

All that work, time, risk, and luck down the drain. Makes me sooo mad that after 4+ years, there are still so many bugs in this game.

edited because spelling is hard.

[cornflkeboy]

This has happened to me several times with various mobs/zones. I also have reported it, but I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for a fix. VERY aggrevating.

[Doomfir]

Bugreport Often... and I mean often.. It IS very anoying, but according to some who have talked to a GM, very few are actually reporting it. SOE doesn't don't do ANYTHING while the problem is only smoking; they wait till there is a fire. The squeeky wheel gets the oil.

[Devlinn Deathcaster]

Yes this is really gay crap happening, i kite tizmaks in great divide for easy exp and alot of it too and i get the mob down to like 20% or something and it disappears and all these tizmaks just chase me.:ph34r: this is seriously gay and needs to be fixed ASAP.
:angry:

[drewz21]

Well, I've /bug it about a dozen times. I also sent an e-mail to Sony's support reporting it.

I hope they fix it soon.

Good hunting.

[Zikulil]

This happens quite a lot to me in OT.

[Aryse Andenter]

This happened to me every second or third kill (or more like attempted kill when this happened) while I was soloing in BW. Sometimes my pet took off and found it (not that that helped me) and sometimes it didn't. Still found it great xp there even though this happened at a ridiculous rate. Tha only other place I've seen it happen is PoN, and only once or twice.

[Jorrath]

I /bug ed this last night in SK... Gave them the /loc the thing kept disapearing at too... Then added that after 3 years I'd have expected this bug fixed when I came back to EQ.... Doesn't look like they've fixed any of the old bugs though...

[Nigyl]

Yeah, was happening to my Mage in Burning Woods tonight: several times I burnt a mob down, it turned to run, and at 1-20% health it poofed. No idea where they ended up.
