Sleepy Mobs

[phillymiket]

I just started a TR to take advantage of bonus xp.

I'm noticing mobs that should be "hearing" me are not.

- Sleeping mobs stay asleep until I physically touch them.
- Pathed or stationed mobs that have no LOS don't seem to hear me approach.

I have only done up to level 4-5 quest so far but it seems to be an issue for me in multiple packs and with multiple types of mobs.

Anyone else seen this?

Yes. They seem to sleep more deeply than before. Side effect of some other change? WAI? Hard to say. I kind of like it vs the state of ultra heightened alert mobs have been in for the last two years.

Ya I noticed it with kobalds especially in the harbor quests.
I just assumed it was my assassin being sneaky in lighter armor but even when not hiding I could walk up to two sleepers and kill one without waking the other until I hit them too.
I remember my fighter in full plate never being able to jump a sleeper at least without the sleeper waking up as I was winding up to smack'em.

They also do not "call out" to each other any more either. Meaning that if you use ranged attacks you can pretty much shoot down an entire pack of foes one by one as long as you don't shoot too close to another one. Makes stuff pretty insanely easy for non-melees.

The mobs have improved eyesight and poorer hearing nowadays

Monday's update I believe will fix this. It is a known issue

This is probably related to the same bug that's borked invisibility. Some places you don't get noticed (lower lvls, I've noticed; I've just TRed too), and other places invisibility doesn't matter because they search more fiercely.

Thanks for info.

Wheeeew!

I would hate to have a beneficial bug hang around!

No but seriously, I'm glad this will be fixed.

Can't wait to see what the fix does. (don't eat barfood! It causes your Ingredients bag to freeze raid bosses and then you can't complete!)

Yes, weird thing is when invisible they do notice me...

This is what happens when too many people flush prescription medication down into the Stormreach sewers.

Dispose of your outdated meds properly, people!

Noticed it today in tbf elite mobs would stay asleep while I slaughtered their buddies made the quest easier but seemed strange.
