Nektulous Mob - Low Spawn Rate After Patch

I get that everyone is upset about this. I went and investigated it as well mostly to find a workaround in case they don't fix it. But do we seriously need the top 3 threads to all be the same thing with links to the same video?

Won't adjust broken golem marl and cha ter epic mobs to 1 hour respawn, but will nuke the spawns in all newboe zones? Please fix the ep8c bottlenecks...

Phini xp at launch was a bit of a surprise. Must be PTSD that brought on this knee-jerk reaction. Thanks for looking into it though.

gracias!!

So the developer response has changed from "intentional to be more like classic" to "there is nothing to see here, nothing was changed" in like an hour. Cool. There go my hopes for this server.

Coming to the stores launch day. Buy your own mob spawn 7500 dbg cash!

Yes until a response is made keep hammering

When you say 272 NPCs does that mean all of them?(Guards, non-exp NPCs, higher level npcs etc). I would hope not, but obviously I cannot know for sure.

That halas video is crazy, the guy ran probably 1/3-1/2 through each side valleys and found 5 mobs total. Usually where the PoK book is, there is a group of mobs and always mobs patrolling through. This looked deserted.

But I can go to NRO or EFP and there are tons of mobs in the newbie area. But I go to say Kelethin(on both phinny and LJ) and within level 50 track distance from the druid circle, there are about 15 mobs radiating out from those ruins before track starts to show guards/NPCs(aka the town). And only person around killing was a level 1, so there were about 3 corpses on the ground also.

Are mobs just roaming too far out and their initial spawn is the starting newbie area? Because of no one around they are extremely far? Are they stuck underground or non visible for some reason? Just seems odd for your "Data" to say one thing but visually actually running a player around you see something vastly different, unless again one of the above are true.

I'm sure someone can check too with certain softwares.

Multiple responses have been made. In fact both the other threads have responses. I am guessing you just don't like what that response was. It's fine, when they get annoyed and just start locking topics I'll be over here drinking and smiling.

I checked Nek on Ragefire and Lockjaw. Not one lvl 1 or 2 mob any the rock area spawned in over 20 mins.

I was clearing mobs outside of that circle area, and still nothing was respawning where all the normal lvl 1 and 2's are.

To be fair, multiple CONFLICTING responses. Also the evidence doesn't support the responses.

Despite the boot pic, I'm not trying to be antagonistic.

There's video evidence, and I've logged into both zones and confirmed what is shown there. You are saying there is nothing wrong, when 3 days ago I had a plethora of mobs, and now I can barely find any that aren't 4+

I'm sure most have that attitude because of issues with DBG in the past. That being said I appreciate you at least reaching out to us about this. I hope it is an anomaly and not something that broke before a new server was released... otherwise theres gonna be a lot more of that negativity on these boards similar to when ragefire was released lol.

QFE. Sorry Absor, honestly -- I have nothing against you and no ill will towards you as a person... but let's be perfectly blunt. DBG has a pretty... Rough... Track record when it comes to decisions that affect certain segments of player satisfaction.

The new old mob graphics?
