Whenever i do Compound 42 with one or more people the Darkfang Scorchers just won't attack me even if i'm the only one alive in the party. This means i can simply sit in front of a bunch of Scorchers without having to worry about them. I can also bring an alt to my party, suicide him and then continue the run with my main character without having to worry about the scorchers. This only happens in parties, the scorchers do attack me if i'm soloing. I've carried a few dead knights in this mission and i wasn't attacked by the scorchers, any other mob attacks me normally.

I have 2 screenhots here, they don't really help but anyway: http://i.imgur.com/YDgIoOy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/O2mZ4ka.jpg

Does this happen to anyone else or am i just being lucky?

I've noticed Scorchers in general are pretty derpy. Sometimes this even applies to regular Gremlins. They run low on health, they go to use their pills, and then they come back to fight or something. But sometimes they run low on health, and they don't have any pills, so they just leave and face a wall for like five hours. Maybe they think this is a modern shooter?

corner thing since 2011-09-06

I haven't noticed the scorcher behavior that Zethalan is describing.

The bad behavior that Hexzyle mentioned --- getting wounded, and then retreating to a corner and facing a wall --- has been in the game for a long time. I first noticed this bug in an old-style danger room. And by "old-style" I mean before release 2011-09-06.

I've seen this happen with just about any gremlin, I usually think gremlins are kinda annoying, but then again, they just kinda sit there and cower in fear like nothing will happen. I'm almost convinced that zombies are a re-skin of gremlins, they do the exact samething!

Lol I think you're right. I mean I knew they were a bit derpy but I never thought they were bugged like this. I'd go ahead and press F2 for the bug report.

@Bopp

The gremlin+beast danger room with spike bushes! I miss that one.. though I will say that the release in question has probably been my favorite update. If only they were still doing stuff like that.

Yes, that danger room is a fond memory of mine too.

Too late to post anything but...

Well, i haven't noticed this behavior with any other gremlins but well, it has been reported. I just hope this doesn't happen only with me but well, apparently nobody has ever noticed or reported this before so i don't know what's going on. But now i got a decent picture which shows the problem perfectly, this one
