Game Mechanics: Decaying skeleton aggro

[Nirgon]

I think the spire one I remember he would spawn as sitting at first lol

Which makes sense, because the skeletons did too.

Piles of bone that would seemingly reanimate.

I definately remember decaying skeles being Indifferent and non-agro. Mind you I quit about 3 months after Kunark Launch and came back about PoP.

Skeles deff agro'd though.

I was almost positive that *none* of the decaying skeletons aggro'd.

Again, there was definitely a patchnote about this, it was about a paragraph long, and specifically pointed out they were making all decaying skeletons aggressive to make farming bone chips easier (lol i swear). I'm unsure if it mentioned specifically that ALL decaying skeletons were not aggro'ing before the patch, so it needs to be found!

I hate using the wayback machine, so thats the best I can do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Be that as it may, it is still incumbent that some evidence, rather than anecdote, be presented.

Yaw dunno, if I was on who wants 2 be a millionaire, and the million dollar question was, were decaying skeletons kos in nektulos, I would instantly lock in my final answer as no.

best millionaire question ever.

Nektulos, Everfrost, and Gfay decaying skeletons 100% were non aggro. I leveled up noob characters a few times in each of those pre Velious, and know for a fact they would just wander on by you (unless a fight with another skelly was going on).

Everfrost needs this distinction as I clearly remember just casually cruising on by the decaying and nothing ever happening - it was the Vengefuls that would say "hello" every time. I had no particular reason to steer clear of the decayings at any level in the canyons - just those guys.
