Okay, i'm exploring joko's domain and doing the quest A deal's a deal. I find a resurrection shrine and talk to the ghost there to see if he'll give me a buff. What the hell? I'm blocked by NPC's. 100% no way to get out, unless i'm a D/A with return...which I would only use to throw on a party member to teleport out of stuck-ness.

No biggie...I mapped a lot but w/e, i'll do it again.

This happens again, a little bit later, in a corner that i'm exploring. Grrrrr...

Oh well, i'll try again. It happens again.

This has happened 10+ times to me now, through various zones thanks to random NPC's getting all up in my business.

PLEASE LET US RUN THROUGH FOLLOWING NPC'S!!!!

Not a big deal, but very annoying.

You want anoying , try getting out of a corner when you have either a pet(not funny) or about 10 minions blocking you (again not funny at all). At least the minions will die if your henchie healer doesnt go nuts trying to keep them alive(has happened to me many times). At least with the ability to tell you henchies where to go its not too bad. But the pets and minions don't move at all. Plus for those who take the piggy quest near the Ascalon Settlement, that stupid pig can get you stuck too. Give us a way to either make them move or allow us to passs through them when things like this happen.

Flag your henchies/heroes away from you and move then, I could possibly see allowing people to walk through minions but heroes are available in HA etc, if you could walk through them you would gain a kiting advantage... Not sure if they could make it work in PVE and not PVP...

That is not at all what he was talking about. This happend while questing druring PVE. It has nothing to do with PVP. The heroes and henchies are not causing the problem, it is the NPCs.

It happened to me a few times last night. The first time was while I was doing the quest To Ask For More where you have to escort the nobles around Backtide Den ,I believe (at work so I'm not sure on this). During combat I got too close to the side of a cliff, and the nobles were right on top of me. They ended up surrounding be and I could not get out. I tried sending the henchies away and everyting, but it was no use. Even /stuck did not work to get me out. I ended up having to map out. This almost happened a couple other times during the mission where you run around with the torch collecting the ghosts (not sure on the name of the quest). Luckily those times I was able to get out, but only because I did not have a solid wall on the other side of me, only smaller obsticals. I definately would have been upset if I had to map out there, as it was pretty far into the zone.

I think this can be fixed if they simply make the NPCs stay a little farther away from you, maybe within half the radius of your aggro bubble. As it is now, they are practially standing on top of you any time you stop.

Ahh, just the NPC followers then? I could see this happening, I know that I've observed them having odd tendancies at times. They may alter it, anyone else remember when the NPCs would get stuck on the Canthan peasants?
