Rubberbanding dead enemy corpses - anyone?

Haenk

While hunting along in Elsweyr, I experienced dead bodies flying towards me after the kill. They can't be looted in place.
Looting is possible with another corps near the former place (before the rubberbanding).
Happens quite often, Maybe every 3rd kill. Today and yesterday.

Noticed this in a delve in Elsweyr yesterday (PCEU), I killed a mob and a couple of them just pinged off somewhere and I couldn't loot them.

PCNA too. Hopefully June 10 maintenance patch fixes this.

It's been going on for a while, maybe since Elsweyr release.

It happens in every zone and not even only during primetime.

Just another symptom of the PC-EU server failing to support the players using it.

Asmael

Finished a Depths of Malatar HM, couldn't loot the final boss because of this :'(

This started happening to me last night (PC NA).

Also been getting this a lot on PC-NA since the last patch. Don't have Elseweyr and been playing a nightblade using a bow when it happens.

I've posted about this several times in the last few days.

Started about 5 or 6 days ago occasionally.

Happening a few dozen times a day now.

I'm hunting Elsweyr exclusively.

Started to happen a lot to me last night, when killing npc, say with ranged attacks, after dead they teleport to your location and are often not lootable anymore. Weird bug.

Was playing with necromancer. Did not have the armor buff that pulls enemies, on that character have the different morph. Do others get this with any class? Just to know its not necro related bug.

Nightblades.

Ranged attacks mostly.
has happened a few times with a poisoned 2H sword, after I back away to let the poison kill them.

I hunt overland.

Exactly this, same issue

If you leave the area and come back, the corpses will be in their right place. If you're in a dungeon, you may have to backtrack a bit then return to the body after its gone out of sight for a little bit. How the game handles loot and corpses is it will suspend despawning for a very long time until you loot it.

At first I though that this was an issue with my new necro and maybe blastbones, but it seems way more of a widespread problem.

I have noticed this is is happening more and more.

srfrogg23

Yup. It's been happening since PC early access for Elsweyr. Kind of obnoxious but not insurmountable. Hopefully it will be patched soon.

Same problem here on PC NA for me since the Elsweyr chapter. Happens in dungeons, outdoors, any zone it seems. I hope tomorrow's maintenance can fix it.

Frequently, yes, if you don't mind the extra hassle.
But it doesn't always work.

And if you don't go far enough the first two or three times, some times it disappears.

But all the time I'm backtracking - I'm wasting time.
My own, and anyone I may be with.
I could have hunted down several more badguys in the time I have to go back and sweep up the mess ZOS let into the hunt.

It cuts down on my speed, efficiency and ground covered in the same amount of time.

And when it happens repeatedly, well, why even bother?

Royaji

With all the necromancers around it is no surprise that the dead are restless...

twev

Patched failed on the rubberbanding issue.
Still an issue in Elsweyr.

I just had a Minotaur do it to me in Tomb of Serpents.

I really doubt it's the only one that will do it to me, today.

Ah, so this is a thing. Yes, I've noticed it recently, but in Alik'r. I was farming zombies on the northern beach when this happened just as you said, especially if the target was in the water.

Asmael

Well the patch notes says...

Fixed an issue where some monsters that were supposed to be locked in place would instead turn to face your character. This fixes many gameplay issues, particularly with cone and Area of Effect based attacks, most evident in Trials but found throughout the world.

But I literally just had a vBRP run where Haj Mota, Wamasus and cleavers were rubberbanding all over the place when doing their channeling ability that supposedly lock them in place, causing massive desyncs in the telegraphs.

@ZOS_GinaBruno The position desync is definitely NOT fixed.

Happens on about 50% of kills on my magsorc. Thought it was just a class bug since I did not see it on my stamblade.

AcadianPaladin

Maintenance/patch was this morning. Did not affect this bug. Still happening regularly for me (PC NA). Which character I'm on or in which zone does not seem to matter.

Deohjo

It will be in any zone. PC-NA
And the weapon swap graphic glitch bug which was being avoided with the Outfit is also coming back.

Also confirming that it's still happening at the same frequency as before the patch.

Gilvoth

It's not just PCEU. PCNA has been having this problem as well. There seems to be an issue with the server not properly reporting the actual position of both the mobs and the player, and this is leading to all sorts of weird issues. In addition to the loot issue, I've seen weird NPC pathing, NPC's randomly doing 180's and jogging in the other direction, I've had several instances in the last few days where I couldn't assassinate someone who was standing right in front of me(game kept acting like something was blocking or I was too far away when I wasn't), among others. I think it could also be part of the reason why so many players have been having issues with their Necro's not being able to activate an obviously usable corpse.

cyclonus11

Any word on this one @ZOS_GinaBruno ? About half of the mobs killed at range freeze up, then teleport to the player or whoever has their aggro (like my pet). You can't loot them - you get the too far away message.

Amarlado

Not just an issue in Elsweyr, so please don't focus on that zone alone. Any creature you kill as it is coming toward you in the game will rubberband to your location and if it is lootable, you will get "out of range" errors until you run far enough away and come back for it to reset the position. This has been happening for me since the Elsweyr content patch, but not just in Elsweyr.

phuein

Same issue. Can't loot corpses if the banding goes wrong. "Too far away to loot" message.

kwinter

I have had this happen to me a few times
