    I can see the control point from there, but can´t go further west due to the invisible wall.

    There are a lot of invisible walls along the top of the rock walls. They ensure players pass through the control point area (instead of over or around that area) when moving through the scene.

    I'm hesitant to make any change here, because I kind of like intrepid players getting to explore the "you shouldn't be here" tops of the rocks and the change I'd have to make is to completely block off the plateaus so players can't get up there at all.

    The mesa I was standing on is in the middle of the map with the control poin to the west and the sideway eastern pass to the east of me.
    The invisible barrier prevents me from going further west towards the control point - so if you think it a problem that players avoid the control point entirely, the wall on the middle mesa does the opposite - it prevents me from going towards the control point up high. Only when I go down to the eastern pass and through the eastern overlook am I again heading towards the control point - but I hed north out of th gate there off course as I would not want to provoke the undead alone.
