0 Damage in Recon quests when engaging out of combat

silverrrrrrr

I noticed that when you engage an enemy while out of combat in the recon quests, your engaging attack will deal 0 damage. I haven't tested with any other classes or other powers than the 3 I have slotted.

I also noticed that if I had the divine challenger class feature slotted, Smite dealt damage as normal, but without it dealt 0.

I haven't noticed this happening outside of the mod17 content.

I think it's to prevent enemies from killing each other while you're not around. You have to aggro them first before you can do damage.

I just noticed this on my Ranger. While I'm looking at the combat log, it deletes itself from my chat window.

I thought about that, but it doesn't happen when the enemies are already fighting each other before I engage. It only happens when they're just standing there :shrug:

If they didn't want them to kill each other they wouldn't. I've gone after named critters only to find them in the process of being slaughtered.
