Anyone else noticing how mobs have been spawning? Lately, on my screen, the mob has been popping "dead" with the greyed name and everything. Then it pops up and begins movin like normal. Wanna make sure my video card isn't on PCP.

havent seen this myself

You're right, many mobs does indeed spawn dead, only to be revived ½-1 sec after they first appear.

Maybe a try to lessen the ping advantage the JP has?

Nah, it's prolly just a bug.

Ive seen it happen a few times

When we killed Nidhogg it spawned dead and sprung back to life.

I did kirin last night and when we popped him he spawned from death

I was camping Hoo the other night waiting for people to do a BC. All the mobs that popped spawned dead for a split second. Maybe this is the solution to the JP "Pop-up Purple" hack we've all been praying for.

Yeah everything in dynamis was doing that last night. I thought it was just lag.

I saw this a lot the other day when I was leveling RNG is Ghelsba.

the last time it spawned like that, they claimed it was a glich and fixed it.

I saw a yag do this last night...it looks so funny I think they should just keep it for grins.

I've been seeing this a lot too. Was in bibiki exping the other night and the catoblepas would spawn dead with grey name and everything, then pop up to life. saw some mobs in other areas do it as well. I think they might have actually changed the way mobs pop...or they just fucked it all up by accident, lol.

Was exping in Bikibi Bay and saw a couple of time, and in other areas. I guess it is to solve the problem of the JP players having the advantage. Maybe SE is attempting to solve the millions of problems they deal with, lol.

Ummm....but wouldn't JP players see it become "un-dead" first, thus the problem would still exist?

I think it's a glitch, but that's just my opinion, and I'm an idiot.

it's a way to get rid of your complaint

Now you dont see them in purple anymore... you see them dead first...

but is there a different? absolutely not

I've seen it happen, but there's also another glitch I've seen...

I was XPing last night in CN on my Black Mage, when some higher levels were farming Rolaanberries off the Guardian Crawler. Anyhow, we were camped nearby, and the Guardian Crawler would spawn with it's name in Green then turn purple about 6-7 seconds later.

Any ideas what that might be about?

yea one of my JP friends said it's SE's solution to JPs advantage with their ping... somehow the lower your ping the later you see it over someone with a higher ping

The guardian spawns as an npc now, untill the popper walks up to it. This is to fix the problem of people stealing your spawn. Its been doing this for a few weeks now.
As far as the spawning dead thing, iono. They said something about changing spawns. /shrug

No, if this was a glitch, a global glitch as it seems (and I'm sure every mob in the game is subject to this), then it would have been patched by now.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but if this change had no positive ramifications, they wouldn't have made it. Simply a waste of time and code if it didn't fix something, and corporations really aren't interested in wasting either.
