Post subject:  Mount rescues against reaching weapon

A lot of things with playing a mountable character are wonky, but this one is probably the worst of all. If a player who is mounted (e.g., griffon, centaur) in the front rank rescues a player in the second, the character (and person mounted) get put in the second row behind the rescued player.

Code:

(B1)  [---------------]    (B2)  [---------------]    (B3)  [---------------]

This has put both melee characters behind the priest. That's bad, right?

This is a stance aggressive rescue, so maybe that's part of the contributing problem: as I understand it, stance aggressive attempts to shift you in formation so that you are in front of the other player, while neutral / defensive puts them behind you. And I suppose the fact that I technically have position ?? is what confuses the code?

It doesn't go like this with NPC mounts. I have ordered my mount to rescue me and it does so without putting me on the second row.

Ah now I see why you guys weren't doing much of anything during that.

Yeah, it was a wicked sick combination of timing and comedy of errors.

Shadow, did your mount rescue someone who was being struck in the second rank?

With or without the party formation thing, you guys were pretty much hosed. A prepped, surprise attack on a group like that where they're already engaged with a tough NPC is pretty hard to lose.

[Edit] But this bug definitely needs addressing!
