Mobs flickering when fights begin

[djriot]

Hey all Been playing for about a week now. Really enjoying myself.

I want to talk about a problem I have been having fairly regularly that has been causing me some grief. Mobs are sometimes flickering out of existence right after I start a fight. This causes me to have to reacquire the target.

This is very frustrating. The thing is, I've noticed since I started playing that I don't seem to be able to see mobs out very far. I went to the Green Belt in the Wetlands which I have always loved hanging in (easily my favorite zone) and I can only see mobs over the next mound. Now I read some topics on this, and I am wondering if this is somehow related to draw distance.

At any rate, I just want to note that at level 20 now it is disappointing to find a server which seems to do a very good job at being Blizzlike to throw a massive cog in the wheel like this. I hope this can be addressed so I may enjoy the full game experience.

Thanks

I'm not sure what the flickering mob thing is, but the draw distance is lag related. Since there's such a huge population, the server lowers the draw distance for everyone to prevent lag.

maybe by flickering he means teleporting around (real quick)?
this happened more often in ubrs aswell the last days
