They also removed XP from guild scrimage matches

I guess the Devs were finally able to duplicate the problem.

(apparently one of the maps had some sort of exploit where it was very very easy to get Survivor quickly, I never did it because I don't want Survivor but I was told about it from allaince mates)

Shame really, it was kinda fun trying to reapproach an area and have them come aggresively after you. I guess it'll make hit and run, whittle 'em down tatics viable in some situations as groups will go back into their non-aggressive pose after a short period of time.

also the attacks ob spirits are fixed too it seems like. if you kill the spirit fast enough before the mob comes back.

I would like to say sort of "un" tested. I made an ids run with a guildie, and when he ran past a group of 2 wise and a few other avicara, we picked up a permanent tail of a guile and wise. Maybe I just have bad luck, but i don't think it's fixed.

Elona mission bosses will still follow you forever and even move FASTER now than before..........wtf
Normal mobs will follow you half way across the map even after you drop the crystal and stop to let them finish casting their spells.

stop a bit, let them finish the hex and be done with them I had something strange just now, a little different though... my hench party wiped, all but Aidan (sp?), The res countdown started and Aidan teleports with me to the res shrine (I think this is new in Nightfall) but here the funny thing: one of the ruby djinni I was fighting had apparently just finished casting Savannah Heat on aidan, so right when we all ressed we were hit by the spell. the caster of course was way out of range...

charr followed me across the entire map still and would not break aggro as I was clearing map, also ice golems and such were doing the same

Haven't tried since the update, but it sounds like this wasn't fixed.

The only way to get anything to stop following you is for them to arggo one of the ghost.
Spell lock doesn't work. Dropping the crystal doesn't work.
The monk boss will run beside me the entire match. Hell, he doesn't even attack anything but he will heal himself.
Tiss follows me until he arggos a ghost.
The other bosses seem fine. They follow me a little more outside their usual range but they will give up without me doing anything special.

Seems like a partial fix to me. Something has changed but not completely.
I tested it on a few runs in the Southern Shiverpeaks. The mursaat spellcasters (monks, mesmers, necros) and ice golems did indeed stop chasing me after a while *most of the time*, but they still followed me for a while, at a longer distance than it was before Nightfall. Occasionally, some spellcasters were more persistent than others and kept tailing me.
So yes, it seems that the "chasing forever" issue has gone for this particular area and these kinds of enemies. BUT the spellcasters still keep chasing longer than the warriors and rangers.
I haven't tested it in the wipe/rebirth situations yet.

The conclusions in this thread are consistent with how things are stated in the update notes:
Perhaps there are other bugs, and on other monsters, that the devs didn't even look into.

It seemed to be fixed, I no longer had any kirins follow me during my usual Vasburg farming runs.

More tests: Sparks of the Titans are as bad as before (they chase very persistently), Ice Imps seem to be fixed.
