Seriously? This is over two years old, and it’s still not fixed? Having an achievement linked to this NPC is even worse.

So, the only workaround is to wait for a server reset or restart? That doesn’t strike anyone else as unacceptable?

Another workaround is to stab away at the risen replicators using health-stealing skills—bring a bunch of necromancers. You won’t be able to target them, but you can hit them if you aim your skills right. You’ll see numbers pop up if you’re doing damage to them. It takes a while to kill them this way, but it gets the event done at least.

I know your pain and created a thread about this a while back. I catalogued several of the other threads that mention it. It’s maddening that there hasn’t been a response in all this time, let alone a fix.

Thanks, Upsdn.

No problem.

Let us know if for some reason it doesn’t work out. I wouldn’t be surprised if some future patch (accidentally) makes the replicators invulnerable to lifesteal, since lifesteal is often implicated in various “exploits.”
