Pathfinding

[Zibx]

Please, implement any possible algorithm. Even left-hand walk around of obsicles on 32x32 grid would be enough. Or any A* implementation. It would be a great reason for me to pay for subscription. I even can help you to implement it.

It is my understanding that the lack of path-finding is intentional and not meant to change.

Pathfinding is for the weak.

I see the question of pathfinding or not in terms of fun.

Will it be more fun to have pathfinding, or will it be more fun to be constantly stuck at objects?

Personally i lean toward the first.

But endlessly clipping on trees, frogs, and tanning tubs are just... part of the Haven & Hearth experience. Without it, it just wouldn't be the same..

Pathfinding would make bots 10x easier to use and make.

Now you have to pay for playing, it works better to stop bot writers than collision into frog.

I think Loftar's excuse back in the day was server load. Which really is a lousy excuse. It could be done client side if it puts too much load on the server, although I don't expect it should. A suggested alternative to pathfinding would be doing away with point and click movement (since it doesn't make sense without pathfinding). If moving could be accomplished with the arrow keys, for instance, the issue wouldn't be as evident.

So it could be made in custom client?

Even some sort of pathfinding would be good for me. I dont see it happening though.
