Disappearing dead NPCs

This topic has arisen before and candidly I do not know if it is on Trello ( search function changed there?)

Quite regularly 1 or two bodies disappear after I kill them. I have found a few by closely using a grid pattern looking at the ground for a loot box. Once found, I can loot them and use a religious tool to harvest.

The particulars are interesting and have to do with my setup at the Pagoda. I watch them die from a platform using arrows. I can clearly see their bodies while on said platform, but then I use a running jump to land on the mound for further bow action on other NPCs.

When I drop off of the mound, 1, sometimes 2 bodies are underground, but not undermesh.

The only commonality is losing line of sight. Obviously I am in the same local, meters from the corpses.

Usually, I ignore it and move on, but it may be a clue. I have yet to leave the cell and return to see if they have ‘floated’ to the surface.

Just an observation, if this is on the dev’s radar.

Regards

jim

the only solutions to this issue is to leave render range and come back and 90% time corpses will reappear or log out and back in which wouldn’t recommend. Same issue with knocked out thralls for some reason and it is horrendous on testlive as well. I do think it is on trello but may not be top of the list or thought was fixed.

I agree with everything you say, @Azzend, and thank you for pointing out what I forgot. The behaviour happens with unconcious thralls also.

My point, perhaps buried in a wall of text, was that the only commonality is losing line of sight.

Thanks

Yes, this issue is now wellknown and in discussion several times.

I know they’re aware of it, and try also to figure out what is going on exactly.

I’ve had them disappear on me on North American official PvE PS4 as well. Both while they are alive or dead. The alive disappearances sort of float over to me from an area and then zig zag float around and then disappear. Some kind of pathing/placement issue I guess.

My dead Thralls experience sounds the same although I’m in close combat with them. I kill 1 then turn to kill the other. I loot the second but then the first is gone.

Good to know if I leave and come back they might return.

On the bonus side, that explains why I’ve found Thralls unconscious with nobody around. I guess they reappeared but the player left. I’ve dragged one or two back to the wheel this way :+1::smiley:
