Circle of Thorns Not Counting For Circle of Thorns

[Rudra]

So I'm doing the "Learn Circle's Base Locations" mission from Paco Sanchez that requires me to take down 10 Circle of Thorns. I cleared three groups of higher level Circle of Thorns on the rooftops and now I just need one more Circle of Thorns mob to finish the mission. I find a group of five minions that are all +1 to me and decide it's safe enough for me to try to drop one of them to finish the mission. ... and after I defeated the first of the five? I still needed one more Circle of Thorns mob to finish the mission. So I defeated a second. And I still needed one more Circle of Thorns mob to finish the mission. I had to drop three of them before the mission counted any of them towards the mission. And they weren't healed from a previous fight either. They were all in their initial spawn animations doing a ritual on a citizen when I attacked.

Did you by chance change 'neighborhoods' while rooftop swapping? I know some missions flag mobs only in a specific neighborhood location, especially at lower levels.

No, I didn't. I was running the same four rooftops in a circle. Also, the mobs I defeated did not leave the area where I attacked them, so that also rules that out. And lastly, that mission does not have a neighborhood requirement. Any Circle of Thorns in any location count for it. (Edit: The missions with neighborhood requirements tell you what neighborhoods in the mission briefing. And outside of the Perez Park missions I am avoiding because at level 6 I will be obliterated, Paco Sanchez has no neighborhood dialogue. And even the Perez Park one is zone specific rather than neighborhood specific.)
