Time of bug: 5-10 minutes before post
Where: 4,-1
What: One second pet is fighting mob (3-4) of crazed lions as I spawn additional lions, then all lions (most still have green HP line) vanish.
Why: I know there is a limit of combined monsters that pet and character can fight. however, a pet (bat) can handle 4-5 while I gather 3-4 more. so, 7-9 monsters should not be too many. At first, I thought bat inflicted a critical hit. that may hold for 1 lion, maybe even 2, but not a mob!
Other comments: I've seen this happen in others places when I'm fighting. although, I haven't noticed it happen to other players. also, this has happened multiple times

if they cannot reach you because you are surrounded they will vanish.

In other words, if they cannot perform attack they disappear.
maybe this is what is happening.

Not the case. My pet is fighting them already. I'm a short distance away (pet is still within my screen view) collecting the next round of 3-4 enemies, sometimes already walking back toward the pet with enemies in tow.

Do you think you can manage to replicate it, so that one of us can watch it happening?

that may be hard - it's consistently random. what I can do is get a screen shot showing where I park my pet and where I go to grind next set of monsters, maybe even get a screen print of game time after it happens. I played almost 5 hours yesterday and it never happened. I played 2 hours so far today and it happened once.

This happened twice more just a short time ago. Sorry, the best I could do is get screen prints showing game time 10-30 seconds AFTER it happened (my fingers, mind, and tablet buttons aren't in "synch" when needed!)

I think I just experienced this with my mage.
I was tapping green flow, had an autospawn going.
Multiple mobs around my pets, had like 6 on me.
Realized my spawn was too big, so tried to go right and down to break spawn.
When I did, 3 of the mobs on me vanished.

Best guess: has to do with pathfinding and despawn timer.
The mobs lost their path to me (but should not have) and despawned (faster than they should have).
I think, 2 were red hp, 1 yellow.

But I bet, these despawns happen when target moves.

Actually this happens when I stand still sometimes. Not often, in fact it happens on rare occasions really. I'll have a decent spawn, and as me or my pets kill the spawn it may disappear before I kill it even when it's on me. Maybe it's just a lag effect?

Glad it's not just me. In any event, lost spawn = lost exp
