Changes to guard pathing

Piojo

Couldn't find anything recent here or on patch notes on this, but a number of guard pathings have been changed, most notably in elden root throne room. I would assume that changes were made to bump up the challenge. That makes sense to me if so. And while I did notice changed pathings in other areas, spending two hours in the throne room was not challenging but prohibitive.The payoff for stealing compared to the bounty racked up is significantly disproportionately low.

Maybe restore guards to their original pathing but decrease the time spent by having them run or jog? Surely such omnipotent beings could exert a tiny bit of stamina in trying to keep tabs on the riff-raff.

Dark Convergence can change an NPC's resting position including those that patrol, if it doesn't outright kill the NPC like Guards for example it will permanently change where they station until the next full shutdown maintenance.

What is there to steal in the Elden Root throne room that makes you care about this?

I never knew that. Thank you. I'll check it out after the next maintenance.

Baubles, baby. Baubles.

While we are on the topic of guard pathing, can we change the guard pathing of the banker guard in the Rimmen bank? They always end up pushing aside whoever happens to be in front of the banker lady’s counter…

Absolutely. Increase the bounty for defeating them and I'd still do this! Guard Raids!

I'd make it my personal mission to see how large of a bounty I could get... I can see it now: leaderboards for most wanted in tamriel 😆

While all places can be fun to steal from, there are some places that are more Time Sink than Bauble Collecting.

PCEU Glenumbra used to have instances where guards and other npcs developed severe ai dysfunction or went absent. Like being mostly unable to detect crime at front of their nose or chasing people with bounty. It was rather surreal.
