Palace of the Dead un attackable mob lock bug: did you get it?

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

In the 30's range of floors where the octopus mobs are, there is a bug that locks a pile of mobs in the entrance to the area against the cave wall.

They will be on your hate list but if you try to attack them you see the "Protect" animation like it has on protect, every strike but they take no damage and do not attack back.

I even tried to use Limit Break, it didn't work, zero damage.

Of course because these mobs are needed to complete the run enough to use the portal to the next floor it basically locks you from being able to move to the next levels.

We thought we were going to have to just abandon duty but we decided to try killing them while in the Rage beast suit. It killed them. This is the only thing that allowed us to attack the mobs and the only way they could be hit for damage.

The bug happened twice and both times the Rage suit was the only way to kill the mobs. I will report it to bug forums but I wanted people to know heads up.

Yes me too, it wasn't right away.

I didn't get it until after I ran it enough to get my mount so that's 9 1-50 runs earlier this week plus one more 1-50 I did today before it happened. I hope it is getting fixed right now.

Huh, never saw that one before. Though I don't think it's possible to get truly stuck since mobs respawn regularly, it just might take you longer to move on than usual.

Had a run where the healer had popped a Rage pomander and ran into a room and somehow caused a centaur and a marolith to constantly collide with one another and both become invulnerable. We couldn't attack them, but if whoever had aggro got in between the two, they would get attacked by the two mobs. Thankfully we had the passage unlocked, but it took us going "maybe we should just wipe" before we figured a way around them so we could use it.

It was entertaining, but here's hoping it is something that is getting fixed, even though it hasn't happened in any runs since that one.

Thought you couldn't go to next floor if you have enmity.

This sounds similar. The mobs were in a pile and seemed like they enjoyed the arch of the entrance on the right side. They were moving but looked as if they were stapled to the wall. We thought it was the one who had aggro since we had just rezzed him.

Let me give more background. It was one of those rooms with the super trap where a massive load of mobs pops up with the red waves of light. We lost one player so after he died the mobs went back like they were trained there and were returning to their spawn points but he still had aggro when he was rezzed and the mobs stopped and stuck in the entranceway.

After trying all kinds of ways to kill the mob, even having the player with the aggro die, the mobs still would not de aggro from his hate list and we still could not activate the teleport to the next floor.

I finally just said hey lets try Rage, it worked.


Other odd things:
I notice sometimes we arrive in a room while in the teleport and we have mob[s] on our hate list/enmity list who are not even in the room yet but they are on their way. It is kind of funny and creepy but I never considered that it might be a bug. I look up from teleporting and see my hate list is up and yet no mobs are in the room. A moment later the mob comes into the room lol.

I also find that my egi sometimes vanishes as f he died through the tele so I imagine he might need to be in the port ring with me when we port.

Thought you couldn't go to next floor if you have enmity.

Yep that's why we couldn't leave until they died. We could not take them off of our enmity list but also could not attack them and they were not attacking us they were just sitting there deflecting our blows with the Protect animation showing up on each strike we gave them. Rage suit took them out like normal though.

I dont know if its intentional or not...But once i use pom rage on floor 49, and i couldnt 1 shot the mobs (only hit for 500 dmg) when under anti knockback enhancement (have no serenity).

[MStowastiqVahlshdeh]

I heard that Rage does low dmg on bosses but not anything about the one shot malfunctioning on normal mobs. The knockback debuf might be part of it. I will check and see if we can use Rage when the kb debuff is up. I thought it always hit for 500 dmg though.

On boss, it always did 500 damage. On normal mobs it supposed to do 5-8k dmg. At first i thought i didnt hit the enemy, after we aggro all mobs and they still didnt die...thats when i saw i only did 500 dmg, and its already too late to recover cause we dont have pom witching either....
