Increased Spawn Rates At Launch Means Exploitable Quests

Definitely delay the launch. It’s better to fine tune stuff and get a late launch than to launch with a bunch of broken issues.

If you delay launch I’d like to propose a random Green launch. Don’t announce when it will happen, just wipe the characters from beta and turn the server back online. This way people can’t plan out weeks of neckbearding in advance and you will be able to better manage the influx of players as it will take time for word to spread that the server launched.

Sounds like a selfish request. I hope they don't listen!

I highly doubt we will have a delay. They are fixing issues pretty fast. I am very impressed with the fixes we have already seen.

No because your plan is the biggest benefit to neckbeards. People with lives have to plan and prep. This way we're at least on more even footing.

The don't announce when the launch will be thing is dumb, but I'm getting a little concerned about the launch being so soon with the kind of things that are popping up in the beta. I mean, apparently somebody hit 51 last night...

There's a 10X exp bonus on green beta. I am confused as to what the issue is with someone hitting 51....

You're confused about what the issue is with someone hitting level 51 on a pre-Kunark server...?

Oh....wow, that got right by me....

From a development perspective, a broken launch can truly cripple a game server long-term. Imbalance issues may never fully smooth out, depending on the severity, particularly where there's exploit potential - and the exploit potential is high where you tweak something as critical as respawn rates. Right now, I guarantee you people are scouring the beta for exploits they have no intention of reporting.

See: every game that screwed up a launch ever.

I already see the dilated pupils over being the first to amass the most pixels.

Just pretend the neckbeards dont exist and enjoy the game. Unless you plan on farming manastone or guides you wont really have to deal with them.

I noticed the kill 3 spawn 3 mechanic on live in paineel newbie yard but couldn't find evidence for submitting a report. I'm glad i'm not the only one who has flagged this!
