ToV Pathing

[windariah]

I'm not sure when the ToV pathing actually went live, but I noticed yesterday they were following the halls better so I assume it was live then.

I was in West when a blue drake that I tried to pull around a corner got caught in a wall. About 45 secs later he came up to the group from a completely different path with 6 or so friends. I had nearly the entire wing cleared at this point so I assume it could have been disastrously worse.

If you need more info about where I was in west, etc let me know. Otherwise this is a heads up for anyone playing in ToV to watch it when the mobs pop into the wall.

There are 2 forms of pathing:

One is just walking grids that mobs follow when they are not aggroed (this was live in ToV yesterday)

The second is actual nodes that mobs and pets follow when they are aggroed, this was not in ToV yesterday but should be live now

What likely happened is a mob walked straight through the wall without pathing nodes and fell beneath the world or on another level, he then either reset to a safe location or warped back

With the new pathing nodes it should no longer happen

Awesome Allizar. And Good lord you are fast!

I still need a few armor drops and a ton of drake parts so I will let you know if it happens again. Thanks for such a timely response!

Yesterday evening we went back in and cleared all the trash in west again. I was able to repeat this pathing issue several times. If I walked them back slowly they would follow, otherwise they fall through the ground or go through a wall and take the long way around. I looked for you Allizar but didnt see you around =)

Send me a tell when you are on and I'll check it out ^.^ (I'm always hidden if I'm working on something)

Vulak guards love to fall under the floor and its actually a nice drop to some lava.
Not a issue for me per say but might cause issues for lesser geared players.

I see the problem with Vulak guards, I need to wait until next reboot before I fix it though (otherwise I have to redo the Aaryonar fix)

Thanks for quick response and quick fix.
