Lv78+ Cactaurs at Emerald Moss

Desert creatures migrating to the forest?! This is not good kupo...

They're all over Halatali too. It's an issue because there are so many near the aethereal gate, it lags heavily. Sabotender and Sabotender Del Sol, all lv70+.

I suspect it's part of Dalamud's effect on the wildlife, but look on the bright side; at least these are passive. It could be diremites, peiste, antlings or djigga if SE were to do a repeat of Cedarwood. For the time being at least, Cedarwood seems back to normal.

Is anyone from SE going to reply to this post? I'd like to know its being looked into. I'm already pushed to complete all the behests in time and now further delayed with battlewardens not popping.

SE has nothing else to do with this mobs. They put them there as a precaution to aid us in getting rid of RMT botting. The rmts frequently use fire and fira to complete leves. Now a word of caution to my fellow players is to not aoe near them. Only few jobs get such moves anyways so it's really not hard. I noticed on my 3 machines at home less lag and fatigue trying to walk after they were put in place. Especially near Halatali. I can't speak as to why others are having the opposite affect, just what I have observed for myself. My real shock at first was not them so much as the DAMN IMPERIALS. Yesterday I tried to help someone do a faction leve near broken water only to find once the leve progressed near Zaharak and we had our 9 to 10 targets of Amals to kill, It was laced with IMPERIALS. Made doing this leve with 3 not all to easy. Not impossible but definitely sucky.

As for npcs not popping up. One thing is try and wait it out. If that don't help relog. I have found even before when Garuda fight was brand new. I one have to relog to get npc's (this case aetheryte) to show up.

There's also the lore behind Cactuars accross most Final Fantasy games... that they come out in large numbers before a disaster, as they're likely to survive it. They're essentially the cockroaches of the Final Fantasy world lol.
