  • Odd Hate Glitch

    I've noticed that hate holding has been a little wonky lately but one incident from my last xp party stood at as very peculiar.

    We were in the Boyadha Tree, fighting Processionaires (Crawlers). Our bard went out and pulled a Crawler with Foe Requiem V and brought it on back to our camp. On the way in I engaged, used Provoke, cast Flash...and it still kept hitting him!

    It only happened that one time (a Cure 3 on him got the crawler over to me where it stayed for the rest of the fight) but even so it really seemed strange. Given that I was in full AF + had a Hi-Breath Mantle charge active (got tired of losing hate even briefly to Ancient Magic bursts) + had a Titanis earring on with Minne on me (really really tired of losing hate) there's no way the mob should have stayed with the Bard that long. Heck I could have been wearing -Emnity gear and Provoke should still *way* overpower Foe Requiem.

    I asked the bard after the fight if he'd done anything special to add extra hate to the mob and he said no, just the Foe Req.

    It may have been just an odd one time bug, especially since it didn't happen again that night, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case any of you folks have run into strange hate glitches since the new claiming update went into effect.

    How odd. I know that as a BLM51, I've been getting a lot of hate with enfeebles lately (silence, elemental enfeebs, bio, poison), but nothing like what happened to your BRD. :-/ Best of luck with that, and hopefully it's a one-time occurance, just a glitch.

    Gawd, I dislike the hate/claim changes lately.

      This happens to me on occasion. It is like my first voke is not happening

      I will voke incoming mob and it will run by me...
      It seems to happen randomly, so I am not sure what might be causing it. Never really
      stopped to check out the situation because I am scrambling to get hate.

        Voke doesnt always work if you voke it too soon after someone else has done a hate building move when the mob is first claimed. Other than that its probably just the new "not broked" claim system/.

          Yeah, it seems as part of that new 'fix' to counter MPKs how enmity acts on mobs when intially building hate seems to of changed a little. It's kind of skrewed everyone in one way or another.

            Did BRD pull over water? Were you standing in water when you voked? Because... water ****** up enmity. Big time. It's used as a way to shake off a train of mobs, but it also gives tanks headache since water erases their built-up enmity.

              Thank you Aeni! I'd forgotten to mention that - yes not only were the crawlers crossing water, we were standing *in* it for our camp. That might also explain the nightmare I had keeping hate on the Steelshells since it was the same situation (thought it was just the change to a thunder burst AM).
