Bugged NM Unknown Soldier

We are at Cassiopeia Hollow in Gysahl, Unknown Soldier has not popped since we arrived, over 30 minutes ago and there is a mob showing in radar that we can't see or target.

BTW we are 100% sure we are at the right spot, this is not our first time camping it.

Prince of Pestilence is having the same issue on multiple worlds. Unfortunately, the GMs are "unable" to do anything about it.

Really? In FFXI, GM's could do these type of things.

Seems so. Last I heard, PoP has been untargetable for days on Besaid and another despite multiple GM calls.
There's actually a thread about how the GM team as-is isn't very helpful, citing this very issue.

There is a bug-report here:

Yes, our party caused it to disappear, but the developers caused it to bug out ><

I actually saw it Boom but it was already locked.

Ghost mobs were bugged back in beta, sad how they haven't fixed them at all, perhaps that's why they barely use them...

the same happens to my group, like 3 hours ago.

PoPestilence was respawning regularly.

The best theory I've read about these issues so far (and it's not just the new NMs, but I've seen it on existing roaming NMs as well as quest mobs, but not near the extent) is that the recent fixes to terrain collision have been causing problems with floor/ground clipping and causing things to get stuck or fall through.

Wow look at how useless the GM was in that thread lol first reply is a useless auto response question asking for information completely unrelated. They see no form its like copy/paste. I hate GM's lol.

Ah well, it should fix after maintenance no? resets?

the gm in question is actually has a similar if it isn't the same dude that was pranked several times and is on several youtube vids from ffxi.
I wouldn't be surpised if he did that.

Perhaps it was killed so much and so quickly that it became extinct.

Maybe the GMs are botting

Whether they get pranked or not, they should be able to de-spawn/kill a glitched mob which was clearly bugged out.

A form asking for ranks/race/other unrelated information is highly unnecessary. They should be able to put two and two together from seeing the sheer amounts of calls pertaining to said mobs and act accordingly.
