View Full Version : NPC Spawn Issue: Scrubber IV in Ak'anon - faction

I am 99% sure that he was on neutral faction before a recent patch. He is supposed to rotate/despawn so that Duster V can spawn for the Bootstrutter's backpack quest (which is a posted bug). Now he is on Ak'anon faction so if you kill him to get Duster V to spawn for the quest (since the despawn/respawn doesn't work) you take a faction hit.

I don't think this was intentional, but it breaks a work-around for a known bug.

Sundawg: Several dozen factionless NPCs have been assigned a faction.

So does that mean the fix is in for Duster V? Otherwise people have no way to complete the Duster quest unless they want to take an Ak'anon faction hit on the chance the quest mob might spawn.

If the placeholders have faction, there is no work around

Fixed, pending update.

This was.. really bad.

-Duster V or PHs spawn, run their course, then depop at origin point. This allows for the cycle to continue without needing to kill the factioned npcs. Fixed the pathing.

-Duster X only spawns once someone turns in the note from Jogl to Dreknor regarding obsolete models needing shutdown. Dreknor indicates which note is returned from Jogl with particular text. Duster X, once spawned, doesn't despawn until killed. Duster X now has proper pathing and pauses.

-Duster V/X/phs have special emotes, and at waypoints increase their run speed.

-Clockwork XVIIC is a daytime spawn by Mine entrance and at night is replaced by XIXA. The same switch, albeit opposite, occurs on the first gates leading into the city.

-Clockwork XXVIIC pathing corrected. Absolutely horrible.

-Manik Compolten 'Series C Blackbox' quest now multiquestable. (Amiable or better.) 'Rusted Blackboxes' is multiquestable (Indifferent or better.) Fixed his replies for different faction levels. He now responds when asked for another keycard.
