Frontier Mountains

I guess this is the place to put this...right now, as it is, FM needs some serious looking into.

Pathing is shit, as already noted (enemies bunching up together, roaming a million miles up a hill, etc).

The main thing is the zone itself is uber buggy...every mob tends to "bounce"...this is the only zone I have seen where mobs do this...I guess it's because there are so many mobs in the zone? It's like they roam and instead of going up a hill they just bounce. It takes away from the EQ experience.

I have put many hours in FM on live, so I know this shit. The rare spawn cycle seems to be working correctly to my experience...

You might wanna take some mobs out of the zone or something, I dunno.

Are you sure the bouncing wasn't around on live? That sounds more of a terrain layout of the zone problem(its Mountainy) than a mob issue, and i think p99 doesn't alter the terrain maps much if at all if they can avoid it. As for the mobs bunching up only thing i can think of is train dispersal or mobs on a similar path spawning at the right time to make them path over the same area at the same time.

It may help if you gave them the mobs and the locations where you see them bunching up, that way they can verify the spawn timing/mobs on a cycle are set correctly :)

Specific information trumps claims of "i know this shit".
