As I understand it, this does not affect AI pathing. However, it is necessary for future work to fix this.

We now have all the los info we need. Pet pathing will be improved over time now that we can reconstruct world geometry in server's memory.

Guild vendor in Viper's pit sell items with wrong icons and prices

Awesome work! Does the pull fix include git to da choppa?

Awesome!

No AoE might incentivise some productive keep defenses.

Thank you!

Lets fight out of doors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any pbaoe or gtaoe damaging abilities should no longer go through the walls/doors/trees.

Main purpose for server side LOS fix is upcoming ram/oil in T4.
