creep NPCs
since 1.08 1.09 patch there have been NPC not animating. It's not all NPC, and I haven't noticed a pattern to help identify where the problem lies. But to put it simply, some NPCs don't seem to have any animations other than the very rudimentary ones like walking around and assuming fight stance. And in some cases they don't move, they just kinda warp around on you.
For instance if I end up in a fight with 4 NPCs, maybe 1 or 2 of the bunch are creepin'. The others are fine. The creep NPCs will not give any visual indication as to what they are doing. I'll get hit or register a block from no apparent source, but a creep NPC will warp right next to me as if they were the one throwing the blow. So I think their data is being maintained correctly, they're just not animating correctly.
this doesn't seem to be zone specific, I've experienced it in every zone, but it does seem more common in the zones that are more strained that the rest (Adel , Hunting grounds, and Oratian Q).
I wish I had more to give you. I will try and note the pattern of this.

I forgot to mention I'm on ps4
and Jeantall's added info is relevant. It seems to be connected with player population or something network related.
