This is something I’ve been wondering for a while. Sadly, I can’t remember the details, but it certainly confused me.

There have been a few times when I’ve been targeting an enemy, and they disappear (I’m assuming stealth, but I could be wrong), however the red target marker (I can’t remember if it’s the normal marker or the “called target” marker) remains above their head, and follows them around. Several seconds later, they reappear exactly where that target marker was.

I don’t believe they turned into mist form or simply shrunk, though I could be mistaken.

I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this… or if it’s some kind of mechanic that I’m unaware of. Thanks! :-D

I have not noticed this happen myself. Were there a lot of other players in the area? Depending on your settings, if there are a lot of players around the system will sometimes hide the model but keep things like the name and called target marker visible.

Simplicity is complex.

Good feedback is key to getting the developers to listen to you.

Like I said, sadly, I don’t remember the details.

I am pretty sure it wasn’t a clone or too many players. I tracked its position from the time it disappeared to the time it reappeared.

The only thing I can think of that I know exists is the engineer’s shrinking mode, though I don’t remember seeing anything on the ground except the target circle. But I can’t even remember what professions they were.

I suppose I’ll have to keep my eyes open in the future :-)

Thank you, though!
