    Istory - Mobs in Thanalan otw to Camp Broken Water Not Visible

    Ever since I can remember, the Aldgoat Billys otw to Camp Broken Water do no appear, or show on map, until you are, essentially, right on them.

    Today, in that same (eastern part of the) triangle - (Thanalan 41/35-36) the birds and eyes only show on the way north, when you get past them to the north and head back south, they are no on the map nor are they even visible until you get south of them again. Because both aggro, this is more of an issue than the billys.

    Theres an invisible border there that prevents you from seeing mobs on the other side. They start loading once you crossed that border.

    Hello zzapp,

    From what you described, it may take some time for PCs and NPCs to load when crossing into new areas. With this in mind, I would advise taking extra care.

    However, I'll be happy to pass your information along to the developers for an investigation and determination on if this is a bug or not. They will require the following information, if you could please provide it:

    Platform:
    ISP:
    Type of Internet Connection:
    Internet Connection Speed:
    Date & Time:
    Frequency:
    Character Name:
    Race:
    World:
    Class/Skill Rank:
    Physical Level:
    Area and Coordinates:
    Party or Solo:
    NPC Name:
    Monster Name:
    In-Game Time:
    Steps:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    <*Add more steps if necessary.>

    Thank you!

    Camp Crimson Bark comes to mind as the perfect example of potentially dying if you're not lucky when you cross the soft zoneline. I remember dying horrifically the first 2 times I tried to go there and never seeing what killed me lol

    It's more of a problem of VERY poor choice of where to set the zoneline in conjunction with aggressive mob placement.
