Posted October 17, 2020 I have been at my deed on the northern tip of Colossus Lake for a little over a year now. For the most part, I wouldn't see many mobs. Spiders sometimes. Maybe a troll or two every other week. But over the last week and a half...holy hell horse! Tonight I have killed 3 trolls, a goblin and a few spiders that wandered on to my deed in the hour I have been logged on! Did something change that I am not aware of or is it just that Northeast Indy is so unpopulated that this will be my norm? Not complaining. I love a good fight! Just curious about how quickly they have appeared around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long story short: Devs have been fiddling with spawn and movement for the last little while, trying to get it balanced. Normal service will be restored as soon as possible. Meanwhile, put it out of your mind off it and go swim in the ocean with all the horses. 😆 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2020 They changed mob spawns and I think it is a lot better now, I find pigs, cows, horses, hens and pheasants on SE Ind which I never did before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just an update...Unless someone has reasonably good fight skills, roaming around North Indy is going to be very VERY difficult. Logged on today and its swarming with trolls. Heading down Colossus Lake Hwy and they are everywhere I look. Along with anything else you can think of. Around my deed they were all around as well. I'm going to be a one woman killing machine it seems! lol Give me the cows and pigs and hens, please 😉 Hoping it levels out soon. Cant wait to see a sea horse!

Posted October 18, 2020 And in the mean time, Harmony is still pretty much extinct. Why, despite all the efforts through the years, is spawning such a big problem? I remember when I started on Exodus long time ago, there were few aggressive critters for quite some time, and no domestic animals at all. I played the first 6 months without horses, cows, etc. Then one day they decided to increase spawns, and there were crocs on every tile. (Maybe small exaggeration, but I remember driving my cart between two guard towers to peel off a horde of baddies, chasing me). So now we have servers running the same code but completely different mob density. And it doesn't just have to do with deed density. I actually made a trip to melody today, to get some fighting skill going. Spawns on melody are as I expect. Variety of aggressive and domestic spawns.

On South it is not that dramatic, but killed champ troll. And I decided to put gates back on deed (they will be open for players). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 19, 2020 I'd almost argue "that's nature", or the dynamic way of mob spawning, but I can't be sure if it isn't the tinkering right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
