This is happening a lot. It looks like someone did some kind of fix to make you take 0 damage, but if you crash and relog again into the same area you don't get that... So you die.

[Wuthering]

The attackers are assassin contract NPCs. I've noticed they can be left behind if the assassin doesn't kill them and don't seem to fade or disappear if no one is in the area (if they are supposed to.) I've wondered if that could cause a problem for low level PCs since they can spawn in starter areas like the Anundor sewer.

[msterswrdsmn]

They definitely would cause a problem. I had a high level paladin spawn in the Andunor sewers once. I had to log out once I found him for RL reasons. When I logged back in, he was waaaaay in the back of the area by the exit; i'm guessing he chased someone out of the area.

He then turned around and hit me for 120 damage in one hit. In the sewers. RIP low level writ takers in the area.

I haven't seen those particular npcs, but thats probably what those are...kind of? Are the some kind of misfired assassin npc, as they're doing 0 damage?

[Dreams]

They appear in Cordor Sewers also, killing lowbies very very easily. I think that we might want to rethink where these things spawn and avoid placing them in spots that are highly traveled by very low level adventurers.

I am aware of this issue, thanks for reporting guys. A fix is in the pipeline.
