Gray Crey aggro issue

[Night]

The Crey Protector boss mob will attack you on sight despite the character being vastly outleveled compared to it. It seems to only happen with this enemy type as far as I've seen, and it's the first time I've come across this type of bug. The Crey Protector enemy variant in Crey's Folly throughout the entirety of the zone wherever they spawn will aggro on you regardless of your level. The other enemies in the area act as they should, completely ignoring you as they con dark-gray to you, but not the Crey Protector who will try to take you down despite being 17-20 levels lower than you.

 

 

While much more difficult to track down, the Crey Protector enemy type also spawns in Brickstown and will also attack you on sight. Exception being when it spawns in a yellow-bracketed neutral version, as a number of Crey spawns after Brickstown rework spawn as neutral-conning and won't attack unless attacked first.

 

Crey Protector enemy spawns in Eden appear just in the same buggy way.

This weirdly one-enemy-specific bug is still around.

Confirmed it's Crey Protectors only. Also confirmed it's Homecoming only. i26 VM3 build doesn't have this bug. May be related to Crey changes on Homecoming.

I have no idea what could possibly be causing this one type of enemy to aggro. A dark-gray-conning enemy should not even be ale to perceive a much higher level player unless attacked first and this is not a mechanic in any other part of the game. The only part I can think of is perhaps this one specific enemy type got accidentally tagged as a zone-event AI, since zone event enemies used to have levels long ago before they were changed to be level-less and scale to the player. Or it could be something completely unrelated... 😕
