Players that somehow occupy a tile an NPC holds automatically have the closest distance, not a likely scenario, but given it could happen via logout/login and warp into map a player at distance 0 (on top of an NPC) should have the same targeting priority as those 1 tile distance from the NPC.

Favouring the person on top of an NPC is bad because:

  • Standing under a monster guarantees it will attacks a single person who could be a tank.

  • It's very sad if 5 people rush at the reaper, one gets trapped under it and murdered.

    • Updated Status to CONFIRMED

    Would be great if there was a config option added for this. I feel changing this game physic could remove some nostalgia.

    Fixed in r535. No need for a config option since it was impossible to walk under NPCs on main without hacking, so it was never a part of the game.

    Updated Status to CLOSED, FIXED

    You could spawn on top of NPCs when entering a map and they could spawn on top of you as well when they are spawned on to the map.
