Spawn Rate Appears to be Back to Normal

It was definitely some kind of dynamic coding the past few days. I would sit on a double gnoll spot..... sometimes 60 sec respawn, sometimes 3 minutes. would be interested to hear the system but probably for the best to keep it private.

It changed once the first guy hit level 10. They created a script based off of people leveling up that changed spawn rate. When the server launched all leveled mobs were spawning fast. Once that dude hit level 10, only level 5 and under mobs had fast respawn...that's why if you were camping a lizard camp, you would see skipped spawns.

I figured it out this morning.

The fast spawns were still in place 100% early this AM, long after many had hit 10.

You didn't read right. Of course they were in. Fast sapwns were in for level 5 and under mobs. Anything over level 5 did not spawn fast once the first guy hit level 10.

That can't be true because I timed it this morning and it was 80 seconds on multiple level 7 and 8 mobs

This isn't accurate. Well -- the level 10 part is accurate but they did not go back to "normal" because the normal rate in QH is 6:40 except rare mobs like the gnoll hunter.

I was getting some 6min 3min 60sec spawn even after that mage hit 10.
I suspect there is some dynamic coding that will adjust it based on how many players are in the zone and stuff.

So they definitely changed it once he hit 10, but it wasnt bad to fully normal.

I was talking to someone today who was grouped with the first level 10 on the server. Apparently what happened was they set up a script to decrease spawn rate based on people leveling up. The moment that guy hit level 10, mobs globally started spawning at normal rate level 6 and above, before that guy hitting level 10, all levels of mobs had fast respawn.

Now that someone hit another level, the script went off again.

I'm really hoping they bring back the spawn rate increase for a bit. The newbie areas are still far too congested, and will be so for another week or two.
