Guild Wars 2

Since the Dec 15th patch, there have been a few times where a mob will be there, and can be targeted, but doesn’t seem to exist in any other way.

It can’t actually be attacked (only targeted), and it won’t attack my char or anything. After a minute or so it will just disappear, then eventually re-appear.

I’ve seen this with a few different types of mobs, in a few maps, but is most reliably seen with an Ettin about half way along Pinion Trail (extreme West, Queensdale).

Same for me in HoT maps. Never seen this before the 15th patch.

Was having this problem all last night and the evening before. Kinda sucks to use an entire combo/CD chain on an visible-but-not-there-mob, only to have it actually spawn on you ten seconds later out of nowhere.

One weird interaction I was getting (particularly when using ranged attacks) is that my toon would attack where the coding apparently thought the mob was, despite the fact that it was visible in a completely different location. Made for some very weird moments.

Yeah, it got a bit hairy for my poor ‘slinger Thief in the Silverwastes the other night. Constantly visually targeting the mob right next to her, that wasn’t actually there, while constantly twisting herself round to waste Initiative Unloading on something to the side that wasn’t there, while a few mobs that actually were there were smacking the stuffing out of her.

Happens a lot with centaurs in Kessex Hills.

Yea i was about to post about this, i started noticing this a few days ago, i think since the changes that were made to classes, mainly rev and mesmer one, or one of the subsequent patches.

It seems to happen across the board. i first experienced this in timberline falls a few days ago, where i targeted this wolf that was invul and then he suddenly vanished and I have seen similar occurrences in various maps since.

Just now, in Orr it happened again. I targeted one mob that suddenly disappeared and something else popped in my face to attack me that wasn’t even there b4.

Update: Just completed the above mission and a couple of more, all had this bug as well, in fact it was worse in the instances than in open world.

Same issue here, tried reinstalling thinking that would help but nope. Same for both 64bit and 32bit. They dying is annoying because of an elite mob reappearing on top of me and killing me. sigh I just want to enjoy myself, but the frustration is slowly growing. : (
