I noticed my pets switching targets mid-fight, to a friendly target (player or another pet). I get spammed with "sorry that's not a valid target" messages, and if you watch the pet window you can actually see them switching targets. This was in Loping Plains, if it matters..

also keys in TOFS don't stick to the keyring.
it will say "key added" when you use it, but it doesn't work.

The pet thing is often caused by a bard twisting in a movement speed buff. Its slower than what they normally use and for some odd reason gets treated like a debuff.

From personal experience I have found it best to keep those keys in the bank. It seems to give me less trouble that way and they are always available if you need them.

Flin is alone with the grimoire. I stab it, no wait I backstab it! You can't backstab it, you can't sneak attack an inanimate object. Why not it's prone? It doesn't have a discernible anatomy. It's got a spine doesn't it? *Rolls a 1 and stabs himself.

Have had only a very limited time to log in.
New spell slots are really nice, haven't had any issues regarding them. Very nice QoL change.

EZ specific - Lots of mobs appear to be casting the wrong spells - best example i found was during Proving grounds expedition the Huvul Commanders appear to be casting Remissive remedy instead of harm touch - this results in the other NPCs in the area to attack that commander as they used a beneficial spell on a PC. Also experiencing the pet issue, with or without a bard present (though it is more frequent with a bard, possibly caused by Harmonious comp? and maybe cyclone blade or something without bard around) Pets also frequently just lose target and return to a non-aggressive state.

Have also noted the pet changing targets in ToV. Seemed to be mostly to other pets.

Noticed mobs on ToFS level 5 agroing each other also.

New spell slots are a very nice addition Kiss

When I hail the roaming gnome with my mage Ducati and I click on change of heart he doesn't give me the prompt for the 500k to change factions

I'm seeing npcs attack each other in loping plains as well. Doing a standard pull (have done 100s of times), pulling the bloodmoons to the north, the bloodmoon melees attack the shamans. Are the shamans casting a spell that is now hitting the melee npcs?
