Define Sidewalks More

For making the game better I have an idea. I occasionally get drawn into battle even though I'm on the sidewalk, this is a bad thing. If the sidewalks could be defined more then this wouldn't happen

Not all worlds on the Spiral have safe sidewalks, be careful no matter what street you are on!

Professor, there are several places where there are supposed to be safe sidewalks, where the enemy pathing brings them so close to the sidewalk, they become able to "see" players, and pull them into battle.

Krokotopia is a major culprit here. There's several places where the enemies "cut corners", and one or two narrow, between-hallway-and-round-room spaces where the enemies' pathing doesn't take the narrowed area into account.

It's really rather irksome, to say the least, to be in the clearly marked safe sidewalk area, and still get hauled into a fight.

...

Elsewhere, I've been hauled back into a fight after finishing one, and not even having time to click a potion and drink it ... because new enemies spawned into the World ... and apparently, newly-spawned enemies (at least in Marleybone) do not check your just-finished-fighting status. This is extremely irksome, especially when it happens three times in a row. (No, I'm not kidding about that.)

If you watch for a moment before rounding a corner or an object that "sticks out" you will note:

1...most goons travel a set path until you disturb him

2...you will learn when to wait a second before rounding that corner, good practice for when you get to Marleybone and there are no "defined sidewalks"....

Note: if you could control every aspect of the game it would get boring quickly! Like the fizzles...it keeps the game challenging.

Remember: dying in the game doesn't "hurt" anything but your pride!
I fight many bosses alone...I always "plan" to die the first try! I just go right back in!

Good luck!
