Splitting Camps

[Laintime-kirtonos]

Ya’ll getting trolled.

[Mighteous-grobbulus]

Maybe you’re just backing up too far? Or maybe you need to try ranged pulls? DAHHHHHHH.

This is really a game-breaking “fix.” It’s no surprise that nobody has complained about it as these people from Pandaria are just used to running in with 2 or 3 “friends” and mashing all their buttons. I’m the only one I’ve ever seen splitting camps since Classic went live.

Blizzard. We need you to fix this. Quick, fast, and in a hurry.

[Greysonx-cairne]

Well this escalated quickly.

Go level an alliance warrior and and try to kite mobs in Westfall.

Ranged pulling is how warriors deal with this. I have two in classic and my first ever WoW character back in vanilla was warrior.

[Glinda-azuresong]

Yeah, I know.

Go ranged pull a gnoll in Westfall and report back.

Hint, all four of them aggro and they do not leash until the first one is dead and you have continued backing away.

I mean, if you don’t believe me, go read the Wowhead link I posted up above and the blue post it’s referring. I very rarely discuss mechanics of the game, but when I do, I bring receipts.

[Consent-deviate-delight]

I always thought that there were some linked packs, usually humanoids, and then solo mobs that were just really close to other solo mobs. I’ll try it though just out of curiosity.

[Glinda-azuresong]

There are both types. There are many, many more linked groups since the hotfix on October 22nd.

[Ristra-sulfuras]

Something is different about the mob behavior. Since the game launched, you could split a camp of multiple mobs by hitting 1 mob and backing up until the rest of the mobs lose aggro and break off.

Now instead of breaking off, all the mobs keep coming perpetually. I need you people to fix this failure so that I can get back to soloing again.

You’re welcome!

You probably have something hitting them still.

For example, a shaman with lightning shield will have trouble dropping agro.

Do you have a shield spike or something?

[Glinda-azuresong]

Nope. Since the hotfix of October 22nd, linked mobs will pursue as long as you are doing damage to one of the linked mobs.

[Tolarion-hyjal]

OP is derailing his own thread by trash talking everybody that responds to him. YOU’RE WELCOME.

[Ristra-sulfuras]

Nope. Since the hotfix of October 22nd, linked mobs will pursue as long as you are doing damage to one of the linked mobs.

Not all MOBs are link. Damage such as retribution aura and lightning shield will keep them following even when they are not linked.

[Glinda-azuresong]

Yeah, you could just read the Wowhead post I linked above or read my other posts so you don’t have to contradict things I haven’t said.

[Tuskamus-area-52 (Tuskamus)]

There was a hotfix a while back that changed the behavior you are talking about. I think its up in a sticky somewhere if you wanna dig through it.

@Eidolona-grobbulus

I am able to do this just fine.

No you aren’t, they changed it a while ago now.

WoW Classic

• Fixed a bug that caused creatures such as Solenor the Slayer to misbehave when pursuing the player. Groups of creatures that commit to combat as a group will now all continue to pursue whenever any one of them are struck by a player attack or ability.

[Ristra-sulfuras]

Yeah, you could just read the Wowhead post I linked above or read my other posts so you don’t have to contradict things I haven’t said.

Oh, cool, you reply to my post that was a comment to the OP. Which has nothing to do with linked MOB. Telling me about linked MOBs. When it’s not pertinent to my comment.

Then tell me to read your posts and links. Yeah, no thanks.

[Glinda-azuresong]

Ah, I see.

I won’t be responding to you in the future.

[Ristra-sulfuras]

Sweet, thanks, keeps things simple.
