Game Mechanics: Crushbone Pathing

[President]

I am curious to see what the dev's say. I know they want to hear basically every issue but there seems to be a grey area with pathing. It's kind of like a "we know its wack but its a difficult thing to fix and if its not totally wack well probably look at other things first." (and since they have endless other things to get ready IE: kunark/velious that could be never)

Honestly aside from small pathing issues, I can't think of anything else I would tell someone it may not be worth posting. I have probably surfed this bug forum for close to 6 months now and I think small pathing issues is the only time I have replied to advise this generally isn't going to get looked at unless its serious as it can be difficult to fix.

I hadn't noticed the pathing to be overly terrible in the time I've been playing, but I can definitely understand where it could be a trouble spot. I've worked with a few types of engines with questionable pathing issues that never really made a lot of sense at times, so I'll leave the minor issues I run across here off the forum.

If I do find anything that would wreck an entire zone, I'll throw it into a singular pathing post and just let that post sit as an archive in the forum. My biggest concern is keeping clutter out of the important issues and I wasn't sure just how stable the pathing system the devs have to play with was.

I did figure there may be a few issues with character/npc position the first time I walked into the forest of the floating dead (Gfay) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

ALWAYS post ALL bugs you encounter. Game breakers like quests and exploits generally take top priority, 2nd then is loot/vendors generally with some exceptions. Beyond that you have stuff like NPC faces, clothes, weapons etc that are important, but you won't see a HUGE push, it will be a "when we are in that area" kinda thing. Pathing, is dependent on level of severity. In the case of an orc crossing a river it may not be fixable, in the case of a train causing super bug, I may just get popcorn =o. (just kidding, maybe)
