Hanging people

The Devs have a weird fascination with leaving npcs hanging onto ledges

2.X i have no clue if there was npcs hanging around but could have been possisble
3.X various npcs in idlyshire were clinging for dear life every patch in new locations
4.0/4.1- didn't pay much attention so may have missed their locations
4.2 - Au ra was clinging outside Hein's residence window in the Enclave
4.3 - Doman hanging off a tower building just behind gate that now leads to garden/farmland/barracks
4.4 - Weirdly found an npc in Coerthus Western Highlands X 9.5, Y 11.4

This is a weird fascinatin to have and i wonder what other poor souls have been left hanging out for 3 to 4 months

Wow I thought this thread was going to be about something much darker.

I figured it'd be the latest accusation aimed at Mentors. :')

Indeed lol. I believe the correct word is "dangling" people.

It's mostly been for fun, I think. The Doman in the enclave who has been hanging off buildings is currently folded over a branch in a tree, muttering about the cat standing on the crates nearby. There's a dude still hanging off some scaffolding in Ishgard, too.

Our job as players is to find the newest dangling victim every patch! :D

The new punishment for abandoning a duty.

I like the hanging NPCs :D But I think I failed to find the latest one v_v in Western you say? Hm

I would have titled this thread "NPCs Who Love To Hang Around", personally. :P

Man what's going to be the next thread where you think it'll be about one thing only to have it be nowhere near that thought. The npc during the Idlyshire reconstruction was the same poor person.

Pretty sure that was supposed to be the same NPC, every time. He even said something like, "I can't believe it happened again!" after the first (second?) Idylshire update.

Oh he's been there for a while, I remember seeing him back in HW when I was doing weekly Gathering Collectables. Fun fact about him, if you travel a little bit back and forth he will actually fall and curse the powdered snow.

4.4 has a guy at the doman enclave who was chasing a cat, and is now stuck up in a tree, by the training area.

I honestly do like these though its a fun little game of Where's Waldo every patch.

2.x had one hanging around mor dhona, didn't it?

2.0 also has a hapless pirate strung up over the side of the Astalica in Limsa Lominsa (the comments made by the pirates on the ship jeering him is that it's his punishment for cheating them of the takings of a successful voyage, a serious breech of the Pirates' Code).

Probably some kind of social media challenge for NPCs.

sweet missed that one then and its how i have been thinking of it wonder who be the poor saps in 5.0 iashgardians or garleans or unknown

and yea i had no clue no clue on how to title thread so went with short one XD

It's one of a number of running jokes. In Revenant's Toll, NPCs always used to watch on the east side, and a new NPC was added every patch, while a Lalafel looked on confused as to why there needed to be so many people keeping watch over the side that didn't face the Garlean stronghold.

In Idyllshire, there was a Lalafel in a Goblin mask with 2 other goblins recruiting intelligent people (in goblin speak, something about big brain cases) to some engineering cause. That Lalafel and goblins are still there, but they now say they're no longer recruiting.

Any time there's an updating zone.... there's gonna be a few running jokes with it, and there will always be something dangling from a ledge in panic. Also, there's still someone in the Brume who has been dangling since day 1.

OP, why did you shift from your own topic? Don't you want to hang people?

When I read the title of this thread:

What I was reminded of after actually reading the topic:
https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-04-2018/uaUuEb.gif

YES. HANG THEM. BURN THEM AT THE STAKE. PUNISH THE SINNERS AND THE MENTO--Wait. What do you mean that's not what this was about? But I just got my good torch and pitchfork for this.

I'd rather see npc hanged than buried

Isn't it like a running joke along with Roes carrying boxes and crates everywhere?

Makes me wonder who will hang from where when we make are way to the ol Imperial homeland.

Is this what you want, OP?
