spawns next to server transitions

[thingsicantdo]

can they all just go away?

most areas are fine, actually, but i can never follow the road from cordor into the swamps because i get attacked by 3+ doom stirges and a bunch of leapers. as a caster, you can't even prepare for it because of the server transition.

the problem is really a limitation of the engine, but could we move those spawn points back a little bit so that you dont' get aggro'd the second you log into that side of the server?

This is actually the main topic of discussion in the Underdark Ruins - Transitions thread. To sum up the Dev response...

Yeah the spawn system just spawns anywhere with walkable tiles and does not support regions we can exclude from the area to have spawns. I think it was looked at before not sure if much came out of it.

I understand this can be annoying. The spawn system is VERY old and not much has changed on it. This is however something I can bring up with the other devs and perhaps Mitheras (Who probably knows this particular code the best) can have a look at it.

well, bawls.

maybe i should put in a suggestion for a return of that road between cordor and the swamps, then. or some kind of buffer area for someone to prepare

Small buffer areas between server transitions (like the stonehold portal rooms) sounds like a pretty elegant solution otherwise. Peaceful areas where those transitioning servers have a chance to get their stuff in order without getting ganked.
