Strangely unable to target party members after zoning

[OmnysValefor]

This happened to me and random other party members as we drifted through zones. We did some Vagary, a UNM and some Dazzling Delores.

After zoning, some members would be unable to target some of the others, while being able to see the rest of the party. No method of targeting worked, not even subtarget on party list.

Imagine a party with WHM, DNC, and MNK. DNC wouldn't be able to target MNK, MNK wouldn't be able to target WHM, though WHM could target both of them.

In Vagary and Reisenjama, running out of range and back seems to work. In Sinister Reign, there's not enough room to do that, so we made the whm leader because it's most critical they can target everyone, and them being leader seemed to make them zone first and everyone loaded for them, but not necessarily everyone else in the group.

Other people in both linkshells have talked about it as well.

Apparently this is a HUGE bug. Alot of people are reporting this in as a bug in the In-Game bug section. Moderators if you are reading this, we need you to tell the dev team and plan an emergency maintenance. lol

The best part is that the untargetable character dying somehow fixes this.

My wife zoned out of Escha because she couldn't target random people in the party and alliance, after she returned she could target everyone.... and she had to exit/return several times.

I just wanted to say this hasn't been a problem since the emergency maintenance to fix it. Thanks!

If this ever happens again, regions big enough to run out of targeting range, and probably beyond, and back, seems to fix this (or did for me). The problem is that many battlefields are not big enough.

We’re aware of an issue where players are unable to see or target other NPCs or party/alliance members, and the development team is currently investigating. At the moment, we ask for your patience while we work to resolve this bug. As soon as we have more information, we’ll update this thread.

Hello,

We will be implementing an emergency maintenance in order to address this issue.

After making adjustments we will continue to observe the situation; however, due to differences in playing environments, the effect of these adjustments may vary. If you experience this issue after the maintenance, we would appreciate if you could leave feedback with details so we can look into this further.
