Question: Unreachable Creatures

[Deleted member 58836]

Since we've moved to loot 2.0 and it's based on cost, does this still need to be?

Creature is Unreachable

Can anyone explain what circumstances this happens in or is it random ? So many times there have been times where for no reason at all and at one to two hits left to being killed a creature will go unreachable and sometimes its from a strong mob compared to me that it took a nice amount of PED...

Or is there a loot mechanic that is being protected?

usually if the mob cannot hit the avatar that's when it goes unreachable. If it's happening often you may have your pet spawned and it's blocking the mob from hitting you or you simply have too many mob on you and they are blocking one another from reaching your avatar. Could be something like a tree or wall, etc. too but it depends on where you are. Usually if you get close enough and let the mob hit you a time or three it'll be reachable again. In the past bad pathfinding algorithm that didn't get mob to avatar in time may have caused the issue but I think that part of it's been fixed (probably will start up again with new game engine though since the coders that messed things up so bad going in to this game engine are still on staff)
