Ghosts in the chamber

I did a search for this and didn't see any posts discussing it...

Been goofing around in the UW since the update. Is it my imagination or is it no longer possible to hide from the Aatxes behind the ghosts? I haven't specifically wasted 1K to check it out but it seems like there are no longer any safe spots there behind them.

That is copied from the 22nd of October update notes.

I haven't tested whether the ghosts can still block foes, but I presume they can't any longer.

Yes, the update notes said that the ghost no longer have collision or something like that, so you cant hide behind them anymore.I havent gone in there yet with my rt to see how bad it is, but I can imagine it being pretty hard,if you make a mistake.

I don't think they do, I was in there earlier today and tried hiding behind the ghost to block the aatxe but it just came right in...unless i done it wrong. Also i noticed that graspings are poping on the way to ice wastes now o.O. I've kept going underworld since the update but today is the first time i ever noticed any grasping pops on my way to wastes.

No more safety net hiding behind them when someone messes up, just made it a bit tighter for errors

I could never get the right angle behind the ghost anyway myself. The stupid Aatxe always managed to find some hole and get around and whap me. Terrible combination of bad luck and newbie skills, I guess.

Same at the way to the mnts 2 grasping will pop up before the door. But the wont be needed to kill for clearing the chamber or any danger.

OT: But the lost soul is put in front so your most likely agro wrong if you get aatxe back now. Never saw any help in the blocks of ghosts anyway I mean there are 6 perma's that can wall for the necro

Yeah, my guildie and I found out the hard way last night when I was showing him how 600/smite was done down there. I believe there're pop up spawns (in the chamber), in the middle, up the right stairs & close to the exit towards the wastes. We didn't check the other side.

I'm pretty sure they only pop up once the Aatxes are cleared from one of their spawn areas, though.

Quite the nasty surprise when they showed up the first time. XD

When I perma mnts I never b-block when the chamber is killing and still they pop up even if nothing died yet. So I don't think it requires a aatxe to kill for the pop op. You just need the get close enough

Ah, okay. I wasn't doing the tanking, it just appeared that way from my vantage point. They only seemed to pop up when they were dead, as they never spawned when my guildie was fighting Aatxes in the same areas they popped up.

Probably just a glitch, or something.
