Various NPC tweaks needed to early-days Toxx Forest
I've been levelling an Erud necro on Green for kicks, and as you can see over to the left, an Erud necro was my main on live. In fact, I spent New Year's Eve 1999 playing Dolalin in Toxx forest, and rung in the new millenium sitting on my ass at a kobold camp. I was a real winner.
So as I've been playing it's been jogging my memory a bit, and here are a few issues: 1) Kobolds in Toxx, pre-Warrens, gave one negative faction hit to "Kobold". Currently they give nothing. Source: Quote:
Here is commentary about how few roaming mobs there were in the south of the zone and how slowly they repopped: Quote:

It was a *struggle* to reach level 7, let alone 8, in Toxx. Right now you can do it in maybe an hour with all the wandering skeletons and briar snakes and kobolds... 3) Mob populations: Not a 'bug' per se, just posting what the NPC-List-Level.xls has for Toxx in late 1999, to help with tuning. Here are all the mobs under level 20: Code:

Another follow-up on this newsgroup post:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....M/Dg4YAzd3_ooJ Screenshot attached of the area he's talking about where 'no mobs spawn'. I can confirm from memory nothing ever spawned here, no roamers, nothing. It was empty. He also mentions the southern half of the zone being spread out and slow pops. This is true. I believe it was only 2-4 a_kobold_sentry that roamed around, along with maybe 4 of a_skeleton (this npc name is shared with the two skeleton miners in the Paineel tunnel), and the ~13 a_briar_snakes. The zone only had two pixies in the above capture, I don't remember seeing these very often at all. One will-o-wisp in the capture. And that was *it* for the entire southern section of the zone. Oh and they were all on something like 15-20min timers. Beautiful eh? Toxx was absolute dogshit. Lastly, from a careful reading of the above posts, the northern newbie area had slow respawn timers on the wandering newbie mobs also. There were a lot more of them, but the respawns were slow. A good newbie population would clear out the northern part of the zone fairly quickly: Quote:
