"Floating Ball" Mob Pet Issues to be Addressed

The floating ball NPCs such as the daydream in Morrell's Castle or the wraiths in Fear Itself are not targetable nor attackable by regular pets. In addition, they "warp" during combat.

We are aware of the issue and working on a solution. Unfortunately it is not a quick fix.

These are "Invisible Eye of Zomm" NPC's with actor tags in their hands.

They move really weird because the client has them constantly spinning, so when the server tels it to move, the client gets out of sync with the server, so they "warp"

Additionally... for some exploit prevention, eye of zomm NPC's cannot be attacked by NPC's... and well, your pets are NPC's (In this weird case, I think mercs act as PC's)

We did not know this before we made them. We are working on a solution, but it is taking some extra time.

This issue discussed in this SOE forums thread.
