Innothule NPC Spawn Insanity

[FatMagic]

Not sure if this is "era accurate / 1999 accurate" - but the Good NPCs that spawn around GUK in the Innothule Swamp are seriously insane. I NEVER remember there being 5 good aligned NPCs all up at the same time.... it makes it virtually impossible for a newbie Troll to get anything done out there.

And I remember this well because I spent lots of time in Innothule as a newbie. But I DO remember there being at least ONE of these NPCs up at any given time, but not more than that... and definitely not 5 at a time!

Can we take a look a this? Because I definitely don't remember it being this hard to get to Guk.... or even around that area at all.

p.s. I would love to know WHY Sony/Verant they felt they needed to put those NPCs there in the first place. There are no equals to this in any other newbie starting zone. Oh well :)

Trying to understand why Sony does some things will make a man go insane.



How was the Earth created?

How did the dinosaurs die?

Why did Sony do that?

These are all one and the same...

This needs to be looked at badly.

The NPCs roaming in front of Guk make it damn near impossible to do any hunting in front of Guk. There should only be one roaming the area in front of Guk. This is even mentioned numerous times on Allakhazam.

Examples:

"As far as I know, these nobles are the only way to raise Indigo Brotherhood faction if it's too low to do quests for the dark elves. It seems that the Nobles are all placeholders for eachother...there is often one hanging out by Guk, but each particular name seems to be rare."

"Bunky spawns near the ent to gukk and is one of The Nobels that terrorize the newbies. Nobels spawn one at a time and there are 2 H Elf, 2Human, 1 erudite, and bunk.."

Taking a look into this and changing it would be greatly appreciated because right now it's a big thorn in my balls.

Fixed, pending update.

I had asked people for more specifics when I corrected the loot and factions for these guys. They are now set to spawn 1 at a time, placeholders for each other. Thanks, this is the information that was needed.
