@sirvink posted a new topic, subject "Invisible walls that block NPCs, pets and creatures from walking into lava". It read:

   I really think there should be some invisible wall (or really good pathing AI) that prevents all non-player characters from entering lava. It is silly watching an entire NPC purge tribe kill themselves as they try to cross the lava to reach your base.
    
    How can it be that there are fully grown scorps, snakes and rocknose in the volcano that suddenly decide walking on lava is a good idea? Someone needs to figure this out. It seems so counter intuitive to build a highly defensible base and then have to go pave over all the surrounding areas of lava, just so NPCs have a chance to survive long enough to reach your base.

Then @Rennia said

    Suicidal NPC pathing in the Well of Skelos PC Discussion
    
    > Game mode: [Single-player] Type of issue: [Bug] Server type: [PvE] Region: [N/A] Version: 111296/19896 One of the wandering NPCs on the ground floor in the Well of Skelos paths into the lava and dies. Valid with main release Halloween patch and post-Halloween testlive. Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug: Set a map mark just outside the main entrance to the Well… 
    
    This actually has been reported and is under investigation.

So @sirvink replied

    I wonder if they are looking at all of the volcano lava issues or just the NPC that wanders from the well of Skelos to it's death?

To which @Bodin replied

    I've seen them do this, too. Lost a couple of good, named Thralls ready for ‘taming' to their pathing into lava.
