Hello DandyLion, welcome to The World! It sounds like that was a pretty unique experience but also kinda scary!! I've come across interesting monsters before but never any labeled quite like that. That being said, for any new players viewing this post who are worried about encounters like this, please shoot me a mail!

I am always happy to accompany anyone, especially those new to the game, and help take care of enemies in situations like this if they get out of hand. I can understand these type of things may be to challenge players but it's never fun to be under equipped for the unexpected. You said it stole from you? Did anything else strange happen with this enemy? :-0

I've done that quest a few times now and only once did I come across enemies made from garbage but they didn't act in any particularly strange manner, thankfully.

Welcome to our corner of The World, DandyLion. I have experience with a quest that shot up unnaturally in difficultly. It didn't have any invading monsters in it, but my team was being pingponged between different areas that had no connection whatsoever to each other. We were originally supposed to collect "thunder bolts" in the first area, but after the first "area switch" happened, the questline just vanished into thin air and we had to continuously escape from boss monsters. You'd think it'd be exciting if you weren't always barely surviving by the skin of your teeth.

It's disturbing to think that this kind of anomaly would happen to low level areas. I can't imagine how many newbies have been scared away by now. I advice you to be really cautious when you bump into something strange like that again.

I don't think I've ever done this quest. It'd be interesting to see if the event is triggered by the quest, or you were simply at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

@ advent It happened to me, yeah. It was a higher level quest though, not the one DandyLion mentioned. I don't know if it's just certain quests that are like this, or it's the area they are carried out in.

@dragonbane This is very interesting. If you don't mind me asking, did the enemies you have encountered in your quest have anything weird to them? Like, were those boss monsters using a standard boss monster model or was there more to it? Different colors, maybe particle effects? Any weird symbols on their weapons or equip?

advent I mean from the way he said it, it didn't seem normal to have a quest vanish in thin air without completing and boss monsters to charge you and your party. Or, at least, it isn't normal by normal quest standards. I'm just asking in case there actually was something weird to those mobs. Maybe it leads somewhere you know?

I don't want to stray too far from the OP's topic, but I can confident say that it wasn't an event. The stages we were "thrown" into seemed disjointed from each other. There was no correlation in terms of theme, area, or content. At first we were in a futuristic sci-fi city in the middle of a thunderstorm, then we fell into an abandoned, old cityscape with the buildings caving in on us. The last place was a large lake in some sort of underground cavern that looked like it was far from human civilization. We...didn't exactly had the leisure to notice whether the monsters had any special markings.

Going back to the original question, I think this falls under invasive fields, rather than invasive monsters? As ridiculous as that sounds...
