Patch notes:
Warning! This has had the effect of reintroducing the possibility of 'train grieving' players (that had been removed the game in the orginal beta). Even if a player has already cleared a 'safe zone' around a node that they are going to mine, any mobs that tracked across that area by someone else will also add the miner to their aggro list. The result is that when the mob reaches its aggro leash range, instead of heading back to its home postion, it will then head back to the miner. This happened to me yesterday when someone pulled a train across me when I was mining a node in a cleared out area, I ended up with their entire train coming after me when it should have been snapping back.
Quote:Monsters will now attack players who are mining mineral nodes near to them, even if they didn't notice them previously.
