Reduce froglok hunters/foragers in TT?

Could we consider reducing the spawn rate of froglok hunters and foragers in Trakanon's Teeth? Their prevalence was dramatically increased years ago to accommodate demand for Sebilis keys, but TLP populations have diversified since then and there is typically only heavy congestion on Kunark launch day.

For the remainder of the server, TT is a very dangerous place because those hunters and foragers swarm like bees and are not trivial to kill, even at level 60.

zone walls are still 100% safe... or running through with bard song.

forager-hunter , pained soul and traveling to seb are kind of the only reason to go into TT so...why remove them. are you XP'ing there?

Hunter or Iksar illusion mask.

I think TT is coded that that hunter/forager increase the spawn rate the more people are killing them. So the pop dies down a lot once Kunark is over.

Which server is this? Some years ago on one of the TLPS there were so many foragers and hunters that you literally had a hard time safely pulling anything else to the traditional spot by the ZL to Swamp of No Hope. Then after a patch it was fixed and (on Agnarr) is now just fine.

Perhaps the number of them is related to a expansion unlock?

Yeah, the increased spawn is necessary and appreciated the first week of Kunark. After that it becomes an obnoxious travel hazard.

This is the current state on Yelinak. I had one hunter aggro me in the middle of the zone and within seconds there were 8 on my extended target window. This would have resulted in sure death for most classes because they all have SoW. It just seems excessive, especially as Kunark is coming to an end.

Yeah there was a time when it was like that on TLPs I've been on. Basically there's a safe spot near the river mouth up where the black reavers live you can pull to, but you have to time it and be lucky. Use something non damaging to pull, like tash.

I seem to recall they have huge agro radiuses too.

It was literally like watching rush hour in Hong Kong at one point

The hunters and foragers would be okay on their own. The real problem is the lower level shaman frogloks that keep casting Spirit of the Wolf on them. This has the effect of making unexpected encounters with a hunter or forager a death sentence.

If the devs changed the spell the shaman cast to Spirit of Scale, upon contact they'd lose the speed buff and you have a chance at outrunning these pesky frogloks. That's what I would do if I was a dev.

No it's for pulling/xp'ing in era in the zone. It's close to impossible w/out a good group and even then the adds are brutal.[/quote]

Never had an issue in era, bard or chanter to help with adds. Pull mobs to the walls to limit adds and remember to snare or debuff the sow.
