Low HP Aggro

Post by Flunklesnarkin » Sun Dec 23, 2012 8:03 pm

I was in Upper Delkfutt's Tower today killing Enkelados.

My victory was uncertain but after a hard fought battle I was barely able to defeat the NM. Being out of MP and low on HP I ran for the transporter that leads back to Middle Delkfutt's Tower which was a short distance away.

Upon reaching the transporter, two Phasma's aggroed me through the roof and pwnt me unceremoniously.

I'm not sure if low HP aggro is suppose to work that way, but I can't recall any instances in retail where monsters aggroed from above a roof or through a wall. I think there might have been some sort of line of sight component to it.

No bug report has been made yet because I'm not positive this is a bug!!

It's a bug. Without geodata available, here's an acceptable fix that makes mobs check for vertical height (up and down) prior to aggroing.
