Thank you so much for fixing the faction issues! I was starting to thing I was insane. I checked a few and they are much better now. =)
Is the pathing fix still a work in progress? I've seen a couple mobs whose pathing issues weren't fixed by this update. I didn't report them because there were already multiple reports of nearly identical issues and I waited to see if the generalized fix in this patch would take care of it. Would another bug report be useful at this point?
FWIW, only the burrower in AC was more than a 7 day spawn. Near anything 7 days was actually 6 + 0-24 hours.
