Patrols With X-Ray Vision

[Rudra]

I don't think this is a geometry error issue, but it may be. If it is, then I apologize for posting here. Anyway....

 

I'm doing the John Houston arc again, this time choosing rogue options. So I wind up on the Burgle the Family Money-Ship mission. I can't stealth, so I'm avoiding mobs as best I can. When suddenly the patrol I'm trying to avoid sees me through the ship's interior wall. They were in another compartment and still saw me in the compartment I was in. I backpedaled away, so the location I am providing will only be approximate. My apologies.

Any ambush-type group of mobs will be able to follow you by the tracker invisibly planted on you when you entered the mission. Stealth, invisibility, cloaking devices, or any other method of avoiding aggro is inconsequential; you will be tracked, and the only way to avoid them is to move faster than them.

I specifically said "patrol", not ambush. The part you are quoting says "patrol" as the 4th word. The mission was to avoid the patrols while looting the ship. Patrols do not automatically track you. Just ambushes do. And yes, when the ambushes started after the patrol saw me through a wall, the ambushes all moved directly to me like they should. The patrol I was trying to avoid had no line of sight to me, detected me from one compartment while I was in another compartment, did so nowhere near the door, and through the wall.

Do you have any AOE field?  By avoiding, I assume you weren't attacking anyone.

I had something similar happen in a warehouse where the mobs inside a room got agitated while the doors etc were still locked.   I don't think walls, etc... don't block as well as they should sometimes.

No. (I was playing a Crab Spider. The Crab Spider auras are team buffs and are flagged to not notify enemies.) And even if I did, there is no way the distance between us given how far away their text bubble was through the wall was close enough for any character's aura to trigger them. After they detected me, it took them nearly 10 seconds to just get into the ship compartment I was in, let alone reach me.

Edited to correct "the" to "they". And "20" to "10".
