On Skaljard our group worked our way through the Xvart cave, entered the Queens room and found nothing. We left, did a little fighting elsewhere then returned, once again fighting all the way through the cave and entering the Queens room. This time the Queen and her guards were there, we started fighting them and then after a few rounds, one by one they all just despawned.

On the second occasion a second group arrived in the room shortly after the despawn, they had, however, entered the area itself before we even entered the room. There was no sign of anyone else in the cave the first time around.

Oh this happened to me yesterday too with the cyclops in the Gap of Aeons - I was kiting and running around and trying to use chokepoints in the terrain a bit because I bit off a bit more than I could chew, so I figured it was just a time-based thing after a tick. But yeah, my character was shooting arrows at him over a chasm and then he vanished.

Happened to me in the dark spires barb caves before the "boss" room got a mob with a champion spawn in it seconds into the fight they all vanished.

Someone has related to me IG that this occurred with the Wharftown Boss too.

This happened to me versus the Minotaur Boss... someone the Black forgot his name.

This just happened to me again in the Skull Crags Caverns, but it wasn't a boss - just a regular Mountain Orc Axemaster.

Definitely tied to the RPR Tick though, it was simultaneous again. Possibly a glitchy cleanup script?

Don't think its cleanup script, at least, I assume cleanup script removes all mobs in a zone. Had it happen again yesterday in the Kurgans tomb on Skal, only the one spawn of enemies despawned, other groups further away in the room, but still visible remained where they were and we fought all the remaining groups in the area without issue.

Happened to me in the gang hideout in Cordor's sewers.

Can confirm, Xvart Queen on Skal just disappeared for my spouse as she was soloing the Tin mines.

This one I really haven't got a clue about. Seems to have begun very suddenly in last week.

I have changed my mind, it may be related to clean up scripts in some way, as around about the same time this started happening I noticed the Peddler on the hill in Skal aggressively started clearing away the items he was sold within moments of being sold them.

Previously he would keep items for a while, you could leave, get some money, come back and buy them. Sometimes, probably dependent upon players remaining in the zone, he could keep things for hours on end and have a very large selection. Now, the items disappear almost the moment you sell them to him. A new and more aggressive cleanup of store inventories even with players present may have somehow leaked into the NPC cleanup perhaps?

Now you mention it, I've noticed this with the Cordor peddler too.

I've had it happen to both non-boss and boss monsters (though it is usually the latter). It's definitely linked to the hourly heartbeat script, as they disappear when my state ticks. It also happens both in and out of combat with the boss monster.

Just was about to post about that one.

I've met it 3-4 times in the last two weeks.

Group is there just in front of you. Few seconds go by. Just before you engage BAM, they disappear in a sec (no anim, no vfx, just instantly gone).

There is no recognizable pattern in terms of "boss fight or not" "dungeon or not", it happened both at a boss spawn in a dungeon, and outside in the wild with a whocares spawn.

This is occurring when the 1 hour ticks happen while a creature is engaged in combat. I had it happen multiple times in the last two days. Tick happens, enemies go poof.
