Bug when monsters move to protect that might involve the lag

[Sandoz]

I was wondering why sometimes I was seeing Soma attack 9 times on the screens of the other players. So I looked into it a bit..

It seems that each time a monster moves to attack it desplays a message that your player has engaged again.

In the example below.. Aldous and Albert each only engaged once.  Soma.. some whose view you are looking engages 5 times in less than 1 second.. and produces 15 combat engaged messages..

While this is happening everything slows to a crawl..

Hope it helps... I wasn't fast enough to capture the view of soma from another screen but it basically shows him Engaging 15 times in less than a second.. (3x5 re-engagemnts).. Similar to Aldous and Alberts messages at the top when they engaged once.)
