The Spawn Rate on Gathering Nodes and World Quest Items

Recommended Posts

Because of the sheer number of players that are going to be coming to the server and to the new Elysium server when it drops, the spawn rate on both gathering nodes (i.e. mines and herbs), and on world quest items (i.e. Milly's Grapes) should be variably reflexive according to how frequently they are being picked up. Otherwise, getting crafting professions up is going to become a terrible chore (Mithril especially), and people are going to be horribly bottlenecked in certain areas that have a lot of these sorts of quests. Please patch this ASAP or at the very least consider changing the new server to account for this!

It's already higher then blizzlike to accomodate the population.

 

Stop complaining.

 

It isn't nearly high enough to offset the abnormal quest bottlenecks created by servers with many thousands more players than intended.  The word "blizzlike" does not apply here, and never did.  You can't invoke it.  Unless you're cool with reducing the player cap to "blizzlike"...

 

I fully support the OP's suggestion.  Noobie quests like pick x apples from my tree need respawns as rapid as monsters.

But Milly's Harvest and the like can take hours. Literally. The dwarf start area took a friend 105 minutes to collect the three refugee items. The eggs in the Nelf area, the bundles of wood in the Elwyn. All these can and are infuriating.

Didn't know they weren't already. That would be very much appreciated; as it is now, there's no point actually completing gathering quests, as you can spend the same amount of time grinding and get 5x the experience.

Agreed.

There are a few quests that I skipped over entirely because we're talking about a mass of 20 players in one spot waiting to loot one thing with a 5 minute respawns time (emerald dreamcatcher).

We're looking into adding quest objects and quest containers to the dynamic respawn system (DRRS). Herbs / Veins / NPCs are already on the DRRS.

Also, being in a packed area with dynamic mob spawns but NOT dynamic quest spawns is absolute hell.
