Enemeis following

Post by Sab1 » Wed Oct 10, 2018 2:46 am

I was in the inner ruins, things were going bad so I used a potion of speed and invis to run. At outer ruins used another potion of speed and invis and ran again. Made it to the outpost fine. Yet a moment later there were the three things from the inner ruins appearing at the outpost. Are they suppose to follow that far, especially after using invis twice? This seems an insanely long way to follow. Also it seems like no matter what you do to lose them, they still seem to know where you went.

Enemy target lock is definitely out of control. I've played NwN off and on thru out the years and I don't remember a single server where you couldn't shake the enemies like on Arelith.

It sounds like the NPCs are metagaming. Will need to check if they're running their own channel on Discord.

So you know, i've seen this to effect in the cordor outskirts, where mods from the swamp, (doom Stirge) forest of despair, (Where Boars and werewolves) some place with giant spiders, (Sekat something?) minautors, etc, where dragged to just outside where the planer portal was, they where all over the bridge too.

After casting invisible, cycle through modes of moving. Walk for a second, then run for a second, then stop. As long as you stay invisible this will shake them.

I have encountered the stinger boss as the locked gate by the outpost. I don't remember things following so far before.

I can confirm this, I use the same method when bravely need to run away from a monster!
