Can the devs put a variance spawn on... any npc?
 

Think they ever thought about putting in variance spawns on popular solo exp camps?
imagine if the bards had a 2.5 minute variance. or hhk guards and nobles, the chick outside of the pofear portal, gornit, grik, the chicks in surefall

would the world be a better place?

Yes. But dont announce it. Then watch the gina timer users explode.

Dunno but bards should be banned from swarming in dreadlands. Just since the beginning of bonus xp I've died three times while soloing around KC walls due to bards sucking and dying and then their retarded swarm paths back and either jumps me while I'm fighting or I get killed while afk. This only happens if there's a bard in zone, otherwise it's completely safe.

Yep. Spawn and aggro variance for everything in game, including MOB's spawning in greater numbers and difficulty (but without their level increasing) depending on the amount of players in an area. Creates more excitement and provides constant content no matter how crowded an area becomes, but crowded places will be less efficient to hunt in because of that increased MOB difficulty.

The game should never be completely safe. Especially a place like Dreadlands.

This topic must be in the air. I was visiting my brother last week and he manages a shift at an elder care facility, mostly ambulant clients, and we were sitting at the nurses station right across from the pleasant dayroom, which was filled with tables, filled with chatty old ladies and a few chatty or at least still breathing, old men.

Some were playing board games, or knitting.

But I asked him, if you put a live p99 2d zone map in the middle of those tables, with lights on the map that turn red when a mob is dead, could you rig a button for each old lady to hit whenever the mood strikes them, or they need a nurse, that would add old lady variance to mob spawn rates on an emu server?

He said he didn't see any reason why not.

Actually I think that sounds like the first realistic idea yet.

i read this twice and i still dont get it
does the button spawn or despawn it? or do the old women kill and the old men spawn?
whats stopping your elderly brother from spawning all the time just for you

Bards mess up swarms all day. Dying is not something you should be doing in DL 26 years into the mix. Something is not adding up.
