A couple of minutes ago, I had a Sharnaff bull warp towards me when I attacked a sharnaff, it was about 30, 40m away and when it moved towards me, it warped after a couple of steps, and there was nothing in its path. I had my pet on guard mode and so when I killed the sharnaff, it went to the bull and allowed me to break away.
While that was a minor incident, imagine if that happened to an enraged rancor! or a NS even.

as a rifle user you may have noticed that there are times when using stacked specials you may lose sync temporarily witht he server and the next command syncs you and all that has transpired in the meanwhile occurs at rapid pace.
this effect can cause what appears to be a warp.
also anything small like a stone in the ground or a log etc can cause a warp like you describe

If they have reverted the warping code AGAIN - watch for differences in z axis, if the mob is lower or higher - it may warp.

Well, I haven't seen the mob warp happen very often, so if there is ineed a mob warp bug, its probably gonna be easier for them to fine tune it since the fix that is causing it is actually working pretty well.

I had this happen to me with a ravenous torton earlier tonight. It had run off and I called my pet back that was chasing it...then suddenly the torton appeared right beside me. I sicced my pet on it and shot it, but the warp could've got me had it been a nastier critter.

This used to happen to Rangers in the Krayt Graveyard all the time. The Krayts would warp right to the Ranger, kill him, then warp back to his previous position and continue fighting. Didn't matter if you were 20m or 75m, it happened all the time. Don't know about now since I haven't seen a Krayt since the days of the rifleman warping bug. I think that was back around the end of August.
