Spawn Rate Appears to be Back to Normal

With one fell stroke, the game became borderline unplayable. We're at like 500% capacity, looking at eight hours per level in the early teens as 60 people try to make ends meet in CB with default spawn timers. Four different yard groups in Unrest getting ten kills per hour. It's completely hopeless without accelerated respawns.

Even if you are killing mobs constantly, it's like 8 hours a level 12+, killing dark blue-yellow mobs.

The fast spawns were still in place 100% early this AM, long after many had hit 10.

You didn't read right. Of course they were in. Fast sapwns were in for level 5 and under mobs. Anything over level 5 did not spawn fast once the first guy hit level 10.

I'm really hoping they bring back the spawn rate increase for a bit. The newbie areas are still far too congested, and will be so for another week or two.

It changed once the first guy hit level 10. They created a script based off of people leveling up that changed spawn rate. When the server launched all leveled mobs were spawning fast. Once that dude hit level 10, only level 5 and under mobs had fast respawn...that's why if you were camping a lizard camp, you would see skipped spawns.

I figured it out this morning.

This isn't accurate. Well -- the level 10 part is accurate but they did not go back to "normal" because the normal rate in QH is 6:40 except rare mobs like the gnoll hunter.

I was getting some 6min 3min 60sec spawn even after that mage hit 10.
I suspect there is some dynamic coding that will adjust it based on how many players are in the zone and stuff.

So they definitely changed it once he hit 10, but it wasnt bad to fully normal.

Saturday I had some issues with mobs not re-spawning enough. Ran all over misty with 200 or so people and couldn't find anything to xp off. Sometimes the spawns were 2 min then sometimes youd go 10m with nothing.

Gunna be interesting

That can't be true because I timed it this morning and it was 80 seconds on multiple level 7 and 8 mobs

They changed it because the mage leveled off a quest item that was spawning every minute or so. Mage leveled at 1/2 a bubble per turn in and it had 2 turn parts. This level rate was unintended from the increased spawn rate so they changed it to close this option. Next decision to nerf turn xp may have been the next step to eliminate unintended leveling rates.
