Tempest free-ride

#1 Post by cttw »

I am not sure if this is a bug but I found it odd.

I was exploring urkis' level and I came across him after a long fight in which I was not in very good shape. I teleport away and land in an empty area. I heal, take 5 or 6 steps and I get the achievement and XP of killing Urkis. I don't know what sort of trouble he got himself into, but he got clobbered really fast. I never even hit him, as I TP on the first turn I saw him.

Maybe some allegiance issues, or did he get weaker?

edit: I had no pets

on my actual character playing 1.10 paradox mage, i had multiple situations where enemys attacked each other. first was 2 rares - chest guardians. i teleported away being surrounded (only dimensional step range 6) and although i was in line of sight they kept attacking each other (one of them was a ranged class spider, getting owned by melee elf in rhaloren camp. didnt stop until the spider was down then he began to walk to me)

next situations were in dreadfell, reknor. i didnt use any unusual skills only damage stuff they just aggroed each other. might have been the same situation for you, imagine a melee attacking urkis, he uses some lightning daze spell on him and stays in cclose range - hell get owned by his own hurricane pretty fast.

never have seen this before 1.06

hope itll help to resolve the issue

The elves in the Rhaloran Camp will fight any non-elf enemy as well as the player. As to Urkis, hia Hurricane and the like are AoE. It is entirely possible that he accidentally hit one and aggroed it. Just last night I helped the Grand Corrupter kill the Zigur, but caught him one too many times in the splash damage of spells and had to kill him too. I imagine if the player can do it, so can the enemy.

this happens fairly often. i now made a screenshot - this is dragon vault in eruan and i didnt even open it yet. they just began roaring at each other, only noticed it because there were area effects to be seen - after that casted arcane eye.
