I'm not sure if it's the recent update (very new), but I've noted a recent MASSIVE uptake in spawn camping ATs by large groups of mobs. It really sucks loading into a disabled PC - is this intended?

ATs?

Area transitions.

Area Transitions - in general, but specifically my first foray into the main server sewers. My Wiz2 got hit with 2 Cubes and a couple rats - -9 before the screen loaded. Seemed massively overkill once I'd exhausted every fetch-quest I'd found.

Well can't say I've had that misfortune on the lower epic range.

also seen it on Distant Shores, but mostly in more remote areas. We've taken to sending a tank to pre-agro, but jebus. Most PW's have either a safe area from the ATs or a 5 second Sanctuary.

It does happen.

It is unclear whether this happens more often then before.

I htink on occasion people run away and that causes enemies to group by certain area transition they can't pass through. But I certainly run into several places in sewers where enemies are gleefully waiting you by transition.

The thing is, I had similar experiences even before EE switch.

wondering if you missed the deliveries that would have brought your char to lvl 3 before you went to the sewers?

Many times another person brings them there. The server is usually pretty good with not having spawns right by transitions, the one bad area I remember (Ogre area with the ruins near Benwick) seems to of been cleared up. If you encountered that many things as soon as you tranisition in, then my guess is someone brought them there.

I had trouble finding one, so I was lacking ~200 XP.

It wasn't just one AT - all over the Skal server we were getting mobbed on zone in yesterday. Not sure if it's coding or trains, we'll just try to be careful while squishy.

If you run through a transition it actually takes the npcs a while to follow you as they do physically walk the distance. So if you transition and then do something like teleporting out, hiding or simply transition to the next area, mobs will transition but then stay there as they lost the target.

The only places where this is really bad that i know of are the UD starter areas:
Tavern cellar for the first rat quest +- 5-10 rats right after transition.
UD sewers are really bad with this, 90% of time spawns are on a transition. (sometimes this pushes you back behind a door as well so you get stuck from going back)

wow cortex doesnt know the newest mechanics lingo?

what a nub

Grimlock Lair is really bad for this. At least 3 of them are behind the transition or waiting ON the door and it can be insta death if the first person through isn't your tank.
