Escort Bug

[Stuke]

I'm getting really annoyed at a bug where the character you escort either stands still or runs in circles, really needs a fix. anyone else have this problem???

It's most likely poor AI. I have 1 experdition that has yet to score an overall S rank. This is because all the side missions in that experdition are all escort type side missions. Which is really annoying when they keep running in circles or stop moving.

A few tricks that you can do is block their path when they are running in circles or move ahead to the objective when they are stuck. Sometimes when they are moving on a horseback but is stuck moving against a wall, you can use your horse to push them.

It's really stupid to see "humanities strogest man" riding in circles. I hope this helps! :)

Same here. I have to "push" the character for it to trigger to move in a straight line.

yh I had to restart a mission 3 times to do the escort mission. Really irratating after doing a long mission, especially on true attack mode. I found moving away from the character seems to work, although only sometimes.

The problem was bad design AI.

There are 2 types that trigger them stay still.
1. They're stopped because Titan's on their vicinity. The bad design is, their "sense" of danger are too wide. Even the Titan is way far from them, they are freezing.
=> Killing every Titan circle of their position will make them move again. But you have to clear a large portion area of their circle position.
2. You are too close with them. Some AI won't move if you are too close. Tagged Escort Mission, but they don't like you near them. SMH.
=> Get away from their position, I mean, very far. But keep in check, usually in escort mission, Titan will sudden appear near to their position. Can be in start, mid or designated area target.

Usually this, especially if they are on the path towards the green flag

Yeah usually if they're running in place and there's no titans just get away from them. They'll start to move. Pain in the ass since they're slow when this happens.
