yes Steps To Reproduce / any other info:

Planar rift consumes stone but no mob spawns. A couple months ago I tagged along with someone who popped MM at the alternate rift on this map so I tried that one also to no avail. Tried on different irl days, with 1 character logged in, with different characters but I've only succeeded in burning up a bunch of stones. Two other issues with the T1 Zilart I've run across already have their own post, #1556 happens to me with Sabotender Campeador's Chupa Blossom move, it will sometimes crash my rdm, no stuns involved just straight melee auto-attack with only pld engaged and other chars idle. Holy Moly has aoe charm, Soothing Aroma, which is causing issues like referenced in #1542 and Teo said in that post to drop a line about it so I commented there and here as well. Thanks guys

not anymore

it will sometimes crash my rdm, no stuns involved just straight melee auto-attack with only pld engaged and other chars idle.

Everyone says this but when I check whatever the mob of the week is I either find a completely different crash source at the mob being pointed at or can't get a crash at all even with several hours of spamming the same mob and forcing it to use nothing but the moves ppl point at. 😭 it will be investigated when I next have several hours to devote to it.

...this really should have been separate tickets, but to late I already started replying....

Planar rift consumes stone but no mob spawns.

The VW spawns likely either have mob running across zone from diff rifts pos and doesn't reach you in time.. I'll find out.

[Jessland86]

This is the correct spot to spawn that VWNM.

I see my error I think with MM spawning I'll head over there and give it a try, but as for as Holy Moly I can assure you it does soothing aroma, in fact it just did it to me and I can post screenshots of my log if you like

[w3genesis]

Holy Moly uses cone direction charm, not aoe charm. Don't stack your characters on top of each other, attack the NM from different sides. Soothing Aroma is supposed to be aoe charm in retail, but is cone here so not too bad.

As for Malleator Maurok, it spawns on the North-West planar rift so the wiki should be changed. And it won't walk over to other rifts because the weight door seems to stop movement completely.

navmesh strikes again

@w3genesis & @stevomatic thank you both for posting info for us!

[TeoTwawki]

@stevomatic I disabled soothing aroma in our trunk, but I didn't hotfix it right that second though so it wasn't in live yet. Doing that now (by the time you read this msg its already done) sorry for the confusion on that I've been having a busy day

[stevomatic]

I know you're well aware of the phenomena by now but I thought I might add that mimic king and his summons using death trap also have been crashing xiloader

[TeoTwawki]

Again I'd like to just say I'm very sorry for all the issues with voidwatch as a whole, and that its taken so long to get them all squared away. It gets to where I've tried to deal with so many different things I can't keep track of them all because I was trying to roll new content out and fix old content at the same time and the pressure just builds up at going so long without giving you guys worthwhile new stuff.

Some stuff we just rolled out to fast and its the old painted into a corner thing..nothing to be done except deal with the shoe prints and painted shoes. I've also had a hard time keeping the pace I used to do due where I live having bad internet and bad electrical so I can't even use my desktop machine! Meanwhile, other servers try to copy what we did and make like they are so much better since they get to have the benefit of our groundwork in fixing all we had so far, while bashing us on places like reddit while you get maybe a quarter of a Teo on a good day! So unfair. I rambled a little sorry :x

[w3genesis]

Don't worry Teo you did a great job on voidwatch! The whole thing works, which is an amazing feat. Random crashing is just part of the difficulty of it and won't stop me from farming the mob 20 times for drops.

Wrote a little voidwatch review for you to cheer you up. http://legiondark.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=2133&sid=5a617c74f7659faa1c33e05f8f5a0afb

As for mimic king, don't let it use draw in or bad things happen. Let tank spawn it and stand right on the main mob. This way there is little chance for crash.
