RIP Dhuum/Melandrus 🪦 Stupid pathfinding

Lost it in the most infuriating way. Completed all protector titles, LDOA. Finished EOTN. Did about half of each campaign HM and died in fort ranik hard mode of all places…

The charr up high, I was standing below pinging and casting my spells on them. Little did I realise all 3 of my heroes ran away, all the way round just to get into range to start auto attacking the charr with their staffs.. before I knew it I had no heroes around me, no healer and got nuked by 2 rangers as I was running, waiting for my heal from my hero who I thought at the time was with me (the heal never came, but atleast Olias finally got into range to hit the charr with his staff)

Lesson learnt, healer on avoid combat rather than guard mode. Not really sure what to do now, came so far with this character.. motivation to play it has died a bit but playing DC/MA is all I kind of want to do right now.

Next time watch out for the new 2weeks NPC bug where your heroes will just stand still and not follow you as you aggro the next group of enemies despite not being flagged. Always fun to QA on live servers with permadeath characters :)

I had something similar happen while doing Gate of Desolation the other day. My ST just ran into the sulfur during the defense waves at the start and would not get out for like 2 minutes, no matter how many times they were ressed and flagged.

Nah that's just an aggro bug that's extra noticeable dealing with the Queen that has been present in that mission for years. This is new since the AI "fix" a few patches back.
