While I haven't noticed the dreaded 'mob warp' when they suddendly jump 60M to you, but it seems to happen sometimes with badly injured creatures, for example just now,a rhoa kwi warped a whole bunch of meters away to escape me and my merek cavern creeper, it was badly injured.


It happened again, it was a rhoa kwi packleader this time (same one as last time I think), same situation, it was low on mind (from me blasting it).

Been happening since the patch that fixed stuck NPCs. The only way to get around it right now as a CH is to either have a profession that can kill quickly, or posture change, or have a pet that can posture change and be trained to use it on command (GSPs work well for this).


The reason it happens is because of the mob slowdown when they're almost dead. For some reason the engine believes it's stuck so moves it to where it would have been if it hadn't been slowed. It's bugged so we'll see what happens.

Those two only moved about 30, maybe 40 meters or so, so I didn't have to go very far to get back into range (I'm master rifleman), and they were one or two shots from dead anyway.


It doesn't do it all the time, just sometimes (only rarely, I've only seen it a few times), so it could be fixed pretty easily.

This particular annoyance hit me on Lok this morning (we're talking Ahazi).


Gurnasets and snorbals I was attempting to milk would suddenly warp 25-50m away and of course would do this right after the third message on milking so 20 odd seconds had been invested and no milk produced.


Also, I shot a pharple (Lok avian on Ahazi is 900 something OQ...gotta take care of the docs!) and when I went to harvest it, I got a "out of range" message even though I was standing directly over the corpse. Apparently the game thought it was somewhere else. Perhaps it warped away on me and the shell of it still lingered at the spot I could have swore I brought it down with bodyshot 2.

Sounds like its something with the server, its not exactly gamebreaking and at least the Devs were able to avoid the huge warping bug of several months ago.
