Was just doing Tigs with an alt and the agg on those mobs is now insane. It was always harsh but they are chain agging across the zone now. I think an unintended consequence of the modified perception check is chain agging tigs.

Working as intended?
got same random agro on totw mobs .. found it kinda weird
maybe this is why the mobs came running from all over the sone in Pande yesterday evening....

I found that mobs are more persistent since 18.3.5 than they used to be. In Dark Ruins for instance if I ran straight out of the ruins area with a group of Spirit Goddess adds after me before unless I let them stay close enough that they could grab my ass they'd turn around and head back to the Goddess. Now I can charge straight out as fast as I can leaving them well behind and along they all come soon after. If they loose agg they also don't go charging back past the Goddess and into one of the back rooms. They don't even go past the Goddess at all anymore. So agg and such certainly has changed some.
The Mobs lag.

I thought this was just me! Although my example is a little different. I noticed it in Inf as I was doing one of the tour/spirit quests after the patch. It took me forever to lose agg by running away from a mob or set of mobs. I could basically run almost all the way across the zone, even leaving the mobs out of sight for ages, and still have them pop up after me. The mobs definitely seem to be more dogged in their pursuit than before.
FC, replace the pet pathing code with mob pathing code, cause as it is right now, mobs apparently work way better at keeping up with players than pets do!
yeah,in inf they even follow you all the way to the top,even with 2k runspeed.It's definitely changed.
Regarding mobs being more persistent maybe it was changed due to one of the daily missions. Like the rollerrat one in the instanced city zone for instance.
Hmm, a while ago a patch suddenly caused mobs to lose agg way too easily, which was really irritating! Maybe they just reversed this? Or maybe they 'reversed' it a bit too strongly. Anyway, I don't mind mobs being able to hold agg; you don't stop chasing somebody because they run behind a tree... Although, if mobs agg you from huge distances, that would indeed be a problem.
Oh and maybe losing your pets has everything to do with the behavior of mobs agg; they just noticed that really sexy leet at the other side of the zone and decided to agg it.

im pretty sure last patch didnt change anything regarding mobs agg. its been like that since i started playing.
atleast i havent been able to nuke with my crat at all when soloing mobs.. pets keeps losing aggro even when i just sit on ground and let my heal delta do the magic.

That's normal, pets have always had bad aggro. And you actually get more aggro by sitting there doing nothing.
Had a similar experience last night. Did first pande run with org team since BoC was supposedly put back into Beast's loot table. Mobs got pulled from all over the zones for no apparent reason at all.
One particularly bad patch was on Pandemonium Subjugator island. Popped on the island with team, mongoed the first couple of mobs around the teleporter and every mob came running allllllll the way from Pandemonium Subjugator, on the far side of the zone. We all thought agg was exceptionally borked last night.
can confirm this and add that we did it again last night and it was the same. throughout both raids there were moments were mobs who were no where near our group would suddenly come training from off around corners, or down stair etc etc etc. it was a little better tonight, but the agg was still all literally all over the map...
Was in BS and all of a sudden lots of omni NTs aggroed from all over the zone and nuked me!!!

Aramsunat: WRONG! The team supports the crat if the crat is unable to solo (which is rare)!
Soldiers have a single taunt that works on multiple targets. :P

Something is extremely wrong with aggro in Elysium, at least. I walk over one of the kite hill bridges, a couple of the hecks agg below, no worries. I hang around the area, see an OST under the bridge pulling some hecklers, and then suddenly a group of 7 or 8 hecklers break off and run towards me, from the lake below the playfield, almost climbing over the side of the hill near the West Elysium portal.

I've noticed weird Aggression from many different areas, RK and SL. They Agg' from long distances and stay Agg'd longer.
One instance was killing the Hellion Imps in EFP, after spawning the 4 Imps, I went to the wrong Imp at first and Agg'd it then ran to the one further East to kill first since we like to do it in a certain order, a minute or so later the other Imp comes running up to us still Agg'd from a long distance. Never seen a Mob stay this Agg'd from such a distance and time.
