Even saw it when popping Kirin lol
What he said.
I seem to remember mobs started warping around this time too. Don't recall what LS I was in at the time but kiting Kirin as he warped was gay.
LOL totally forgot that...
Yup that was at the same Kirin as well. He warped into the posts and then would just appear on top of you, fun!
If a mob has a legal path to you but can't figure it out, he will pop to your position instantly. This happens often when you are standing in midair off a ledge. In this case, I assume that Kirin would glitch his way into a post, then think that he could path to you but his pathing routine fails because of the post, then *pop*, he's on top of you.
There's a neat trick you can play with the teletaru-destination-wall in Rolanberry. Stay up there and nuke a bee or goblin and watch as it runs Southeast trying to path to you. Then, hang off the west edge of the wall and watch as it finds a legal path to you and starts running back. Nuke/dot him then go back to the middle of the wall and he will run southeast again. You can eventually kill him by glitch-kiting like this, but it's terribly slow
If you hang off the north side of the wall, it will fail to find a route to you and pop on top of you from miles away.
