What you're describing would probably be a subset behaviour of a proper horde mechanic. Proper wandering hordes would allow us to have mobs move around the map without being loaded into the reality bubble, using a much simpler rendition of walkable paths. We need it for a lot of things but it is one of those "very tough to implement" things that needs a really knowledgeable coder with a lot of time.
Yup, I imagine it isn't easy to do at all, hence me snapping my fingers to magically implement it!
It's an odd one in that it's not hard per se... Kevin and I have at various points more or less gone over how to do it. It's just not easy, and a lot of work. But yeah, would be nice to have the magic.
