Those flamin Tours in 1.68

- The general taur population has been thinned out a bit throughout Typhon's Reach and Ashen Isles, particularly around bridges and the entrance area to Deep Volcanus. This should allow a single group a fighting chance to make their way into Deep Volcanus.

In reality it seems, exactly the opposite has happened. The taurs now camp the bridges and block the paths down to the lava, making it just about impossible to navigate through Volcanus/Typhons without getting difficult to handle agro (unless you are very lucky). There is usually a high level single purp or a group of 3 purps camping each bridge.

I found a tactic however for getting past them if your not in a decent sized group. Just sprint through the agro (try to avoid agro as much as possible though) and they will chase you and hit you, but will give up after only a couple of hits, at which point you can heal up ready for the next bridge.

I guess the patch note means a fighting chance for a full group and its not intended to be easy/possble for just 2 or 3 people grouped.

That's less than there used to be. Its just that with time, a lot of the taurs end up being stuck in the lava so the bridges appeared pretty empty in the week or so before the patch.

ie. Last couple of weeks, Volcanus had MUCH less aggro than it was supposed to. Now, it has the regular amount of aggro, which is less than it was last patch.

I could get to Deep Volcanus without getting a single hit before patch :/

After the server has been down for patching it always seems like there are too many mobs. Atleast it was that way in Malmohus... everytime after patching had been done it was almost impossible to get to lair without killing the adds

Ah, thanks Linnet, that would explain it.
