Root Sunder creatures no longer neutral?

I haven't done mages guild dailys for a couple of months, started again for the event, but every time I'd gone into Root Sunder Ruins for Big Sister, Little Brother since completing the quest ages ago on my main, all the creatures besides the bosses were neutral. I went in today and they were all hostile. I did some searching and saw that this has happened before, around the time MW released, but I'm pretty sure I've done RS at least once or twice in the last six months and the creatures were still neutral. Any one know anything about this?

    Don't worry man. The event will end in a few days and I guess you won't do mage guild dailies after then, until next year of course. Then we can discuss it again. But next year.

    Did you cast any damaging AoE near you? It will trigger agro. For example, you can use the Sorc's Lightning Form (either morph) ability and it will damage and aggro nearby neutral enemies.

    I've been focusing on PvP more the last couple months, but that doesn't mean I won't be doing any more dailys over the next year, thanks tho. Also, I'm not a man :)

    I did not cast anything, did not aggro in any way, I do know that to do so causes neutral enemies/creatures to go hostile.

    I noticed this as well. Mobs were neutral last time I completed the group dungeon, went back to complete daily and they were hostile.

    Anyone else remember when this was a very popular grinding spot for EXP and leather?

    Yes. I noticed this as well. So much for the quest/story there.

    its an feature / bug, earlier they was neutral after quest, now they are hostile like normal mobs.
    Not an big thing but it was cool

    Maybe they return to being hostile when you get the mages guild daily quest that takes you there?

    They are neutral after you finish the quest until you leave the dungeon. Next time you go back, they will be hostile.

    I've gone in there for the daily multiple times after completing the quest and every time until today the creatures were neutral. I never go in there otherwise. Like @zaria said, it's really not a big deal, I was just curious if it was something that was changed that I hadn't heard of. I'll admit I don't always read the patch notes, so thought I missed it.

    This. After I completed the Root Sunder quest (not the mage's guild quest) and left, I forgot something inside. So I went back in, and everything was hostile again.

    I've done the mages daily there several times since the anniversary event started. The mobs were neutral to start with, then went in yesterday or day before and they were hostile without any provocation.

    Were you near any other players by chance?

    I notice this game tends to get me involved in fights I did not partake in just for being too close to the "attack zone" of another player.

    Except that completing the quest there removed the reason they were raging, and you were named a friend.

    They aren’t supposed to be hostile after you have soothed them through the quest.

    There were a couple of other people in there, but usually that doesn't matter unless I engage the creature, too. Been in there plenty of times when others were fighting them and I'd still have the yellow neutral outlines and can stand right next to someone else fighting them without being attacked myself. They were all red hostile today.

    Critters in Tamriel have short memories. There are some areas that stay calm, like Tanzelwil, but dungeons don't. What would be the point of doing them again if they stayed neutral?

    Except this one, or so I thought. Literally every time I went in after I completed the quest with my main, they were always neutral, with the exception of all the bosses. I've been playing for over a year now and have been in there probably a dozen times since completion for the dailys as I used to pick to them up almost every day until a couple months ago. The regular mobs have always been neutral until today. I have gone in there on alts and they were hostile until, again, I completed the quest, then they became neutral.

    During at least the first year of the game, Root Sunder remained Neutral after you did the quest. Some update happened and now they are hostile when you go back.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Main shame is that you can not watch the spigians walk animation from close, that is awesome.
    An spigian ploymorph would be the coolest thing ever.

    Yes.

    Although, as a reward. For something big. Like, all base game 4 person dungeons on vet hard mode.

    I've been in there after completing the quests and they were neutral as well. Must be a weird bug causing them to be hostile.
