Rikti Raid and Heavies Dissapearing

Just noticed this in Cap au Diablo and then in the next raid in Sharkhead. During a Rikti Raid Heavies spawned but before we could target them properly they suddenly dissapeared again. Not once but a few times. First I thought this was something to my with my graphix but others noticed this behavior as well.

Did anyone else experience this and can I consider this an anoying bug or should I consider this a documented feature from the evil Rikti to make our lives misserable?

I saw that too. However I was in port oaks and I did an assassin strike and the bomb would disappear for 2 seconds and then drop back into place screwing up my attack chain build up combo.

The bomb dissapearing from AS is weird, different to the heavies dissapaearing. It seems that ASing a bomb will make it drop from the top of the screen. since it seems to take a chunk of faling damage. Tho that requires further investigation

This is not unique to CoV.

Yesterday, Union, Galaxy City - during one invasion I witnessed several rikti of various types appear, become selectable as a target, vanish, begin the TP animation (whatever it's called) and then vanish completely.

This is a lot worse than the normal targetable rikti that haven't spawned properly yet issue.

Sounds like there are some synching issues going on...

You mean the Rikti suffer from not Server Synching properly too?

Sync issues sounds like an explanation. Hope they can fix this as well. If this can happen to Rikti Raids it can happen to other mass mob groups perhaps?

Not just me then, whenever I AS'd a bomb it would vanish and then drop down again a couple of seconds later and I was having to re-target it.....v strange.

Same here with the AS-bomb thing. Large spikes of damage make it think it fell again for some reason.

Last night, CoH, Talos Island, Union server, lots of players gathered for an invasion, and then 4 Heavies showed up.... and then, as suddenly as they showed up, before we could even target them, they gone. That's unfair for us players because in my case my whole team was running Sister Psyche and i convinced them because I needed some heavies to earn both EBs and Accolade badges, and we all stayed top of the hill during the whole raid and we couldn't defeat any EB at all, furthermore that made our tf to finish 20 minutes later than we had expected.

Now I will have to wait for next invasions season... oh wait I won't be able to because I'll be on holiday, so thx to that bug/desync/whatever I will have to wait til the end of September! Big deal!
