Dragons gone wild

I port into NW Blackblade using the SE entrance. In the normal spawn locations I have an ancient and a regular yellow. I kill them and to looking for some corps to kill. I run into another ancient fighting a darkstar destroyer next to the mine approx 30 seconds later. Kill them and move to the NW?? entrance.(the one farther from the dragons) and find another ancient fighting another destroyer. Not sure if this is a bug or a change to the scene, but thought I'd let you know.

Update: I go back to the normal spawn site, as I am dealing with a dragon there, I see another ancient spawn by the mine and another by the NW entrance. If this is on purpose, BRAVO!

 

Waited for the destroyer fight to near completion but had to take a nature break. Did not want to wait around any longer. This scene is fantastic now. Plenty to do but not too crowded.

 

Not entirely sure if it was an intentional change, but glad you like it I linked this to Sannio to see if he has any concerns, but sounds like it's a good one.

 

dragons' ranges seem to have been greatly expanded, leading them to not only enter parts of scenes they once didn't (like the corpion section of nw blackblade) but even go out of bounds in outdoor scenes and chase people into halls/through dungeons where they can't possibly fit. the bug thread on it you addressed by putting a door in k'rul, but there were other dragons/locations mentioned in it.

 

There used to be two dragon spawns in this scene. This time of year either of them could spawn as yellow dragons, ancient yelllow dragons or aether dragons. Starting this release in addition to those normal spawns there are several places throughout the map that extra ancient yellow dragons have been spawning. I believe these are at the places the aether corpions can spawn but I'm not certain. I think the post is mostly asking whether these extra dragons were added on purpose or not since there was nothing in the patch notes about them. If they weren't supposed to be there, that is the bug being reported. If they were added on purpose maybe more specific bug reports should be made because some of these new dragons seem to have pathing issues or die and fall through the map somehow so they can't be skinned.

Edit: Just for feedback I think many of the players like the boosted dragon count though it certainly raises the tier of the scene. So if they dragons additions were an accident it might be fun to clone the scene in episode 2 lands with the bonus dragons added in.

 

@Sannio This is exactly what I meant. And I think Gwendolyn is exactly right. The additional dragons are spawning where the aether corps can spawn but for me, they have always been ancient yellows. As for the pathing, it is still a thing in Krul. I had one fly outside the room with the door closed, it then ported into the center of the room shortly after. A few weeks ago in Southern Grunvald, I had a black dragon end up at the bottom of the plateau beating on poor wolves.

1: Hills wolf encounters had dragons that seem to favor the corner of the scene to a point that I could not go forward or else I would exit the scene! A Few times it push me out of the scene with its wing attack. ( its an exploit that the dragons are using! )
2: If you going to keep nw blackblade as is then you may want to change the tier its set at as its no longer a tier 6 area.
3: Taming Corpion Destroyers are now much more difficult as ancient dragons join in. so if this is as design once again I suggest changing the tier.

 

! Was hoping for a T-12 adjustment.
