EXPLAINED: Mob repop stacking

Post by Prykor » Sun Apr 06, 2025 2:45 am

I've noticed mobs getting stacked up a bit absurdly in a few rooms, and then kind of empty everywhere else. seems kind of odd, and usually notice it near-ish to, but before boot.
So far, I've noticed it in a couple areas. the plains area east side GF entrance to blodfest used to be has a room with 6 bears in it and a handful of less agress wildife, though the Aiel mountain is the worst offender.
It doesn't seem intended to have this amount of mobs piled up. Aiel log below:

23:53:47.940 A Bend in the Trail
23:53:47.940 Here the trails bends northward to skirt around a small rocky crag in the
23:53:47.940 mountains. It seems somewhat dangerous to continue, as the western side of the
23:53:47.942 trail is an open fall thousands of spans to the ground. You can see the large
23:53:47.950 city of Cairhien in that direction, the last visible city of the wetlands
23:53:47.950 before entering the route into the Waste.

23:53:48.690 Above the overhang is a small platform jutting out from the mountainside. At
23:53:48.698 this height you are able to see far out into the wetlands, creating a
23:53:48.698 magnificent sense of freedom and vision. Behind you, the trail trail continues
23:53:48.704 deeper eastward into the thick mountain range.

23:53:48.939 A Rough Overhang
23:53:48.939 The steep climb bends outward into a rocky overhang here, and to continue
23:53:48.940 onward you are forced to cling to rocky formations and move hand over hand. The
23:53:48.948 slightest mistake could leave you a corpse at the bottom of the Dragonwall, and
23:53:48.948 a warning to all other climbers who would try these enormous mountains.

23:53:49.190 The already tough trail now begins to slope upward, making it all the more
23:53:49.190 difficult to follow. Loose rocks and sand slide down the slope in small
23:53:49.194 rivulets from above, and the hard-baked sand gives easily, making the climb
23:53:49.194 even more slippery.

23:53:49.440 A Rocky Trail
23:53:49.441 The trail widens here, expanding into a pathway deeper into the Spine of the
23:53:49.441 World. The rock has been improbably weathered into a fairly smooth stairway,
23:53:49.442 zigzagging up the side of the mountains while leaning inward. The hard rock and
23:53:49.450 tight-packed sand are held together by crisscrossing entanglements of weeds.

23:53:50.450 the World here, where it seems possible for an experienced traveler to traverse
23:53:50.450 the interminable mountain range. Huge rock spires tower to either side, looming

East of Cairhien is not a bug Prykor. That was implemented some months ago and has been like that ever since.

Bad idea to just kill the chief. Looks like it repops with a new full patrol if you do.
