Since the patch that brought us the new spell effects, I have had mobs that disappear while I am fighting them. I have tried /bug reports and petitions but no one seems to care.

For those of you that will respond that this is not a new bug, you are wrong. Sure there were times in the past where mobs would gate back to their spawn point when they were low on HPs. This is different. These mobs don't go to their spawn points.

In fact, using my druid I was able to make them poof sometimes as many as 5 times in a row and track them each time to a totally different location each time. Using snare and fear I could get them to poof when they were full health.

One of the places in EW they poof to is in the water under the bridge to IC. Not a spawn point.

These mobs retain aggro! If they are a mob that will come after you regardless of distance from you, be prepared for a train.

When a mob goes into run away mode, they can poof.

When a mob is feared, they can poof.

When a mob poofs they never loose aggro.

I have lvled about 400 times on my chars and I have seen more mobs poof in the last 2 days then ALL of that time combined! If it is not a new bug then its frequency was just increased more than 1000x.

I tried to get a GM to witness this bug but he refused. I got the feeling they know about it already.

FIX IT DAMMIT!

I know fighting styles and mobs that will prevent this from happening while I am hunting. I will stick to those until they get it fixed. I would tell you what they are but then it would get to crowded there. :b


Have a Happy New Year beta testers!

There's a spot in Wakening lands by the Geonids, which (i don't know is fixed or not) whenever an NPC of any type (pet, mob, etc) steps over it while facing a certain direction, will completely disappear from trace.
Was really annoying while trying to kite and my pet would suddenly disappear or the mob would be at like 2% hp, and suddenly gone.

Old school players will remember the mob-eating wall in the warrior room under Highkeep =).

Rujarkian walls in LDoN have been eating mobs as well sometimes (they are not falling under the world as far as we can tell...they no longer show up on ranger tracking).
