Miscellaneous: Paineel - Guard Captain Latorl - root bug - corpse stuck in wall

[Jamesstone714]

When soloing with my wizard I root/snare/nuke the guard captain. He will break root on occasion, but in recent weeks when I reroot him he appears to keep running at me (ghosting). I continue nuking him despite not being able to see him, he dies, then I find his corpse is inside of a wall and I can't loot it. Very strange.

As a workaround step within melee range after the "ghosting" - he'll swing at you which will update his position on your client.

Also, a quick camp out/in will fix his corpse position so you can loot it.

Can the server be tweaked to send an extra position packet right after a movement-speed spell is applied to a mob, I wonder?

I think OP is refering to the visual bug that happens when you root a mob coming towards you. Visually it will continue running at you, through you, and into a wall or distance. BUT it's not actually doing this, it's a visual bug.

If you move your character a bit after rooting it should sync the client/server and you'll see the mob has always been rooted in front of you. You don't need to get within melee range, just move around enough, usually 1-2 steps (litterally) towards the mob fixes that visual bug instantly. Until you root again while the mob is running at you.

I've been battling this visual bug for quite some time now. I can not remember if this has always been a problem or just after a certain date/patch. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Jamesstone714 did you try relogging to see if the corpses position is fixed?
I've never had a corpse end up anywhere else during the bug I described.
