The Spirit Realm

Hi ya

Just seeking some confirmation or explanation of some of the mob "pathing" issues we have seen in guild raids since PoR went live .....

We are constantly observing mobs "warping" from where they spawn to where they are headed. These are in encounters we have defeated previously, but are now finding extremely difficult due to not being able to contain the adds .....

The most obvious Raids we have seen this occur in is Draygun, Council of Nine (it happens in Ashenback in Relic too, but we don't know if that one is by design) ....

So we are fighting Draygun, all is fine, the adds spawn, the Off Tanks engage, and seconds later an add is right along side Draygun being absorbed .... nobody saw it "path" there, it just suddenly "appears" there (where as before PoR, the Off Tanks would see the mobs heading towards Draygun and engage before they get to him) ....

It also happens for us in Council of Nine raid ... raid going smoothly, first Council man pops, and instead of pathing from spawn point to the Raid (and previously giving Off Tanks time to engage), he pops and then next time he is seen is right alongside the Avatar next to the Clerics (whom then get silenced) ... wheras before PoR, we could setup so that the Council man never made it thru the Off Tanks to the Clerics ....

Am I dreaming?!? Has anybody else experienced adds "warping" and not "pathing"?!? Is it making anybody elses previous strats for mobs broken?!?

Thanks for the feedback, no matter what it is

Seen it happen with Anguish minis also. We'd only just cleared enough trash to spawn them and one of them warped onto some stragglers and began the pwnage.

This has been forwarded to our Quality Assurance team to verify -- I've also given this information to the programmers who work on pathing.

If you guys have any very specific, easily reproducible situations where you can get a mob to warp, feel free to message me with the details and I'll be happy to get that information to the programmers as well.

Thanks,

pofire tables, soldiers love to warp now =), poor necro bot of mine has burned through about 40 EE's

Heh....never really spent much time in that area. Way back when PoP was the thing to do, a group helped me clear to Mavuin for the hails and I never came back until recently.
