"Grey ones" just pinchin'

Basic Info:

Platform: Steam
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Single Player
Server Type: PvE
Map: Isle of Siptah
Server Name: None
Mods: None


Bug Description:

All of the “Grey ones” just punch now. They don’t use any weapons. Also the Tcho Tcho war paint dissappears after a while on thralls at least.


Bug Reproduction:

Fight any of the “Grey ones”. Also just put the Tcho Tcho war paint on a thrall and wait. (I know these are unrelated but both are Siptah and I don’t see a reason to make two reports for these.)

Confirmed…
I have seen it similarly on several EU, PvP Siptah Servers.

Skeletons on EL and Siptah randomly suffer the same, even bosses, so it affects both maps without any mods.

Modded maps that re-use vanilla mobs have the same problem of course.

A modder attempted to fix it, but could not fix all mobs everywhere so this really requires Funcom. Maybe if in the next dev stream they go and fight skeletons…

Because Funcom staff need to log bug reports for devs, and having multiple reports in the same topic complicates that.

This is also affecting World Bosses that normally use weapons, including the Giant Kings, Champion of the Warmaker and the Kingscourge.

One way to trigger this on the regular undead enemies such as wights (at least in Klael’s) is to aggro them and run out of their range, they’ll return to their posts or general area with their weapons put away. This works on the 3 skull wights as well, such as the Gatekeeper.

This will persist past leaving the dungeon for at least half an hour, never bothered to check past that point. The grey ones however i never see with weapons drawn anymore.

Yea it trivializes several bosses too, even on EL.

I’ll second that about aggro’ing then unning out of range bugging said mobs so they no longer use weapons and just punch.

I haven’t fought grey ones much lately but they certainly seem to only punch all the time now regardless.

I don’t know about aggroing and resetting; the ones I’m talking about have no weapon on the first pull, they literally spawn without a weapon and stay that way until death, then maybe they’ll respawn with a weapon.

Either way it’s months old, since the beginning of current chapter.

Son of Thorgar also pretends to be a boxer… :frowning_face:

It’s happening both ways; when first seen and resetting. Almost a guarantee that most if not all will be without weapons if reset.

Exactly what everyone is saying. It is the same with the “first men”. I hadn’t been on siptah for a whie so i had no clue this was an ongoing thing. I am glad it is not just me, but you know kinda stops fights being well fights.
