Category: Pathing Date/Time: Thu Jan 04 20:36:47 2024 Character: Level 125 Paladin (Main) Zone: The Hero's Forge Location: 337.61, -878.07, 195.55, 345.44 Description: a forge courier warped to this location, very far away from where the forge couriers are in this zone
I have seen this too, if you mean flying into the / near the zone in area? We speculated they were flying in to retrieve weapons!
They fly across the zone at very high altitude, about the altitude of the mountain. Proximity checks ignore Z axis, if one flies over you it's going to aggro. It looks like its warping, but its dropping down from altitude.
Negative. They warp into the forge area un-aggro, and then towards the end of Shalowain they aggro the group and begin combat.
Weird that this still hasn't been fixed yet. There was a mentioned in beta that this mob was problematic.
It never happened the first several times I ran/attempted this mission. Then it happened and wiped the group twice. After the second wipe, my group started killing the 2 forge couriers in the SE portion of the zone before starting the event. It's annoying that it takes extra time, but at least it prevents a wipe on what could otherwise be a win.
I have run into this forge courier several times down the ramp from the forge. It is high in the air and agros my group, but only ranged dps and pets can fight back because he is and stays out of range of melees. Very annoying. I had also seen it both in the mission and in the raid.
I've had the bird warp out of no where on group missions a couple times. Can be very bad depending on when it chooses to pop in.
I think its kind of expected at this point. They have so many other big fish on the table that non game breaking stuff likely isn't going to see a fix.
I think this is a problem with all flying mobs. If when they aggro, they don't have to move in the XY-plane, then they often won't come down in the Z-axis. If you can get them to move enough in the XY-plane, they'll usually come down to the ground, though.
