srmalloy Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 In Steven Sheridan's mission "Stop the Rikti Assault", there are odd clusters of NPCs cowering in fear -- several groups in front of doors, another on top of the parking structure -- that will spontaneously break up and run off when you get near them; I mistook them for hostages because I could see a cowering NPC, but not that the rest of the group were also cowering NPCs. Sometimes, after they break, they'll go running en masse across the map: It doesn't actually affect the mission, so it's not really a bug, just a case of aberrant NPC behavior that -- in the event that the other problems get dealt with, could be looked at.

Seems like sensible behavior to me. They know if you come running up to them that you are bound bring trouble! They might even been running in fear of you attacking them. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the 'break and run' behavior, but the fact that there would be eight or nine NPCs all clustered in front of a door cowering, and instead of escaping into the door they would scatter, often running into each other in their confusion: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
