#336 Mobs can't be kited outside of their zone.

Status: Not a bug · Area: NPCs & World · Mobs & Creatures

Monsters despawn or run back soon after being kited across a zone border, unlike in past versions of the game.

Current behavior

Have tried to kite many different types of mobs in various zones, into other zones. Shortly after they cross the border they despawn or run back.

Expected behavior

Mobs have historically been able to be kited across the world into various other zones as long as they are regularly hit to maintain aggro, which has led to some interesting events in the past. (Hoping this is an unintentional change, at least for non-hc servers. Or unintentional for 'most' hostile mobs at least.)

How to reproduce

1. Attack (seemingly) any elite/regular non-elite mob in a zone.
2. Continue hitting it and drag it to another zone.
3. Mob despawns/runs back somewhere around 30-40yds into the new zone.
