Rikti targetting dummies in RWZ

[Oklahoman]

Did I miss something? I'm not finding the Rikti targeting dummies in the RWZ base.

They're wizards.

They come and go as they please.

Known bug, they sometimes don't spawn. To respawn, the zone needs to clear. There may be a timer also, not certain about that, though.

[Oklahoman]

So... I scared them off?

They seem to not spawn unless you enter the base from the portals, either the ones to Red or Blue side or to the exterior of the base. If you arrive by logging in next to them, or by LFG queueing for the Lady Grey TF, they don't show up. If no one else is around you can usually get them to appear by heading out into the RWZ, waiting a minute or two, then returning.

A magician invites himself to the Vanguard Compound!

 

On topic, it's more than likely just a model/NPC limit within the compound.  There's so many generic NPCs in the compound that they likely conflict with those around.  There's usually about 10 or so sitting in the briefing area just across from the shooting range and plenty more standing guard in various corners.  Also I think the shooting range targets count as NPCs too; they used to be targetable like the practice dummies (but not valid targets).
