I know you're busy but just to clarify, when you say Newbie zones do you mean only newbie yards themselves or does it extend out to the next layer out ? Like does it include Qeynos Hills, West Karana for example?

Oh wow is it that visible? I haven't had a chance to login and play on the Beta yet.

Ya its 80 seconds instead of 6 min 40 seconds

When the zones are fully populated it'll be far less noticable I imagine (with 1-200 ppl in every noob yard)

Sharpening stone + rusty weapons = "ERROR: String not found (8053)"

Combination still works and has regular fail rates, but you get the error message regardless of success or failure.

Unsure if reported yet.

This has been around along time, it is still around on blue as well, search the forums for the error number and you can find out how to fix it.

Already yesterday it was a fight over spawns. So I can't image what it would be like with 10x the pop.

I won't be there until a week after launch, but an increase in spawn rate at least for the newbie zones doesn't sound like a bad thing to me at all.

It’s not noticeable at all. Even with 200 people online it was hard to get skeletons for bone chips in nektulos and qeynos

The higher spawn rate is desperately needed

Maybe it's just been forever since I went to crushbone but the spawn rate at the entrance seems way amped up

Sounds like a great solution. Once the early rush is over, things can be scaled down until classic.

Meaning the spawn-rate of mobs is 180% of the default rate?

If he means spawn timer is decreased by 80% in newbie zones, then I believe that means spawn rate is quintupled.

spawn timer is equal to what it usually is = normal spawn rate (if you kill a mob, it will respawn once after 6m40s)
spawn timer is 20% of what it usually is = 5x spawn rate (if you could instakill a mob, it would respawn 5 times in 6m40s)

Yes spawn times are reduced.

Agree with Baler that the bugs forums are being flooded with "I don't remember it being like this.." with no evidence.

Said neckbeards would find out within like 5 minutes of launch due to monitoring the forums and their guild's Discord. They'd leave work and take all that time off immediately anyway.

Isn't not having work at all kind of a prerequisite for most neckbearding ?
