Aggro problems in the Rust

T

Trust And Fall

Dalayan Adventurer
Hello, just wanted to let you know that after days of xp'ing in Rust, I've noticed an often re-occurring problem.

I tend to xp off the undead, and am max indifferent with the humanoids. However, once every 2 or 3 hours while I'm fighting an undead, 4 or 5 humans pop out of nowhere and aggro me. I don't do damage to them, I'm not KOS to them, I'm actually friendly with them.

90% of the time this happens no one else is in the zone so I don't think that has anything to do with it. And I would say that maybe its because the humans fight their way to where I am through the undeads, but still dont see why I'd be KOS. Additionally, most of the time, there are PLENTY of undead between where I currently am and where the humanoids roam. Can't think of what else might cause this.

Lastly, I'm not sitting on walls or anything else that might somehow cause some weird prox aggro.
 
Do you have any spells on that would modify the way you look? Given your class, I'd suppose any spell that'd make you look like a skellie or something...
 
I've seen this happen to two of my group members while we were buffing near the entrance

Valid point, I believe I have been in lich form everytime. I suppose that is a possibility as to the aggro, but still... Where are the mobs even coming from?
 
It's not his form that's doing it, the fleshies randomly train to the zone-in. It's usually their entire faction that does it, and they kill any PC in their path regardless of the PC faction.
 
rustwatchers swarmed our raid when we were doing the clockwork trial, which is nowhere near rustwatchers.

no idea why.

We (Ruin) had the same thing happen last time we did Clockwork. We ported in and wiped because there were probably 30+ fleshies at zone-in hanging out like a gank squad waiting to apply some beat downs. A few times going through the factory to actually get to Clockwork, we had to kill fleshies because they'd just drop through the ceiling onto us. There's definately something wrong with that faction in the zone.
 
We had the same thing happen to us, but with the Undead mobs. It has happened multiple times.

EDIT: Us being Steel.

[2:03pm] <Ponden> something is seriously wrong with rust. i zone in and pretty much all of the rust faction come and attack me from zone in. afaik im not even kos to them.
[2:05pm] <Ponden> i didnt even attack them tobegin with!
[2:07pm] <@Thinkmeats> oh, it's probably just the anti-ponden code, then
[2:07pm] <@Thinkmeats> when someone zones in the "a metal rat" checks to see if they're ponden
[2:07pm] <@Thinkmeats> if they ARE ponden, the "a metal rat" then spawns 2d4 random bugs
[2:07pm] <~Wiz> i like that code
[2:07pm] <@Thinkmeats> most of the time it's just little stuff (your food bugs out and deletes some items)
[2:08pm] <~Wiz> its my favorite code
[2:08pm] <@Thinkmeats> but sometimes its "everything in the zone attacks you all at once, no matter how improbable"

:hmph:
 
I've seen this multiple times as well, and summoned Thinkmeats to see it as well. He's aware of the issue but still working it out. If/when this happens to you, immediately petition for Thinkmeats and give him as many details as possible: mobs that aggroed, mobs that were aggroed on, what other groups were in the Rust at the time, etc.

Pretty much this. The train bug is infuriating and I have no clue why it happens. I figure I'll just keep watching it until some kind of pattern sticks out.
 
Trip report:

Last night in rust factory we were engaging our fourth or fifth mob when all of the human faction ran into the factory and killed us
 
GL on finding a pattern.

I logged in a toon I had parked there, I dont think she had ever killed a mob in rust at all as she's just a buff bot and BLAMMO!!! The human faction came en masse and kicked her teeth in.
 
Trip Report:

Someone in my group who was KoS to rustwatchers zoned in. About 20 rustwatchers came. They had killed nothing and had only been in the zone for about 10 seconds.

Another time we were halfway through the exp side of the factory, engaging a mob, and rustwatchers came out of nowhere.
 
We raided the factory the other day with FuFu and we didn't get ganked by Rustwatchers the entire time we were there (Good 2-3 hours at least)
 
3:12pm EST.

Gathering in the main room of rust factory for raid. Zero agro. on anything. Rust watchers swarmed and wiped us.
 
Please, for these trip reports, if at all possible, include the name of the person or mob that the train aggroed along with the mobs in the train. Every little bit of info helps.
 
IIRC the last few times Ruin got trained by fleshies was while doing the Clockwork trial. There didn't seem to be any particular pattern to the madness, every 20 minutes or so after clearing a few mobs we'd get trained by rustwatchers. They usually only came five or six at a time though, I think. Not like the 30-mob gank squad waiting at the entrance at first(which dispersed after killing all raid members in zone).
