I couldnt done quest today because they killed an NPC :/

Thx for the picture VanWulfen.

Just like i thought + noticed myself, NPCs disappeared at Camp Tranquil & Emerald Moss.
At both camps the NPC that let you favorite the Aetherit are gone.
The Behest NPC not poped at Emerald Moss aswell.
And in Tranquil the Chocobo + the 2nd NPC for Caravan are gone.

Any other camp where no Sabotenders (Cactuar) are seem fine (for now).

It seems like the npcs are not really disappearing, it is just due to how many characters are on screen because of all the sabotenders.

I was in a party earlier and couldn't see party members that were standing right next to me at a cactuar infested camp. Nor could they see me. We walked a little ways from the camp and suddenly we could see each other again

SE already knows the issue with how many things can load on the screen at once and they do this???? ugh

Exactly. The lag was worse than the bots at Cedarwood >_< And yes, I have mentioned before on here that I get no lag when at Ul'dah.

I have a hard time believing this was intentional. Unlike the Imperials, Atomos and the Elementals, Cactuars are passive creatures. Spawning dozens of them does literally nothing but lag the area and cause NPC/Player display issues. No one is in any danger because of them (aside from maybe their own stupidity lol). It just doesn't fit with the whole "The world is ending and nowhere is safe" theme.

Yeah, this seems like a rather bizarre choice, if it was intentional. I don't remember Cactuars in lore being attracted to the aetherytes in any way, so them being here with Dalamud approaching is just strange rather than disconcerting. Having them all get enraged and aggroing people would be a little more suitable, but I would have issues putting these high level creatures right on top of camps.

What is next, I wonder. Perhaps some super cool Dodos will start chilling by the camps? Sylphs? Moogles?

I did notice a level 67 cactuar named Sabotar near Black Brush when I logged on earlier. Well, at least I think I got my answer. >.>

I wonder what this has to do with Dalamud. O.o
