Oh it must be a real challenge to change 'T2A' to 'Random' in photoshop. I can see how it is driving away players and killing the game

/sarcasm

Ignoring the sarcasm, but please if you make these new maps can you not just put 'random' or the map is going to get very useless very quickly. So far the random mobs have either 2 or 3 concurrent spawns and an upper limit on both size and class, so including this info would be great.

The problem is running around to all the islands and keeping track of what's changed. But I guess you wouldn't know that if you're not the one spending time doing it.

heh, but I am

And he's very good at it too. With every spawn (Probably including mission spawns) being migrated over to the new spawn system I think we need a new way to classify spawns.

First of all you have to work out how many "Slots" the spawn has. E.g. (Two Random slots)
Then you have to work out what can spawn in each of these slots. Is it the same for both slots?
Then you have yo somehow write down.
Rank / Robot Type / Classification / Quanitity
For each slot-group in the spawn.

It's going to be a nightmare.

It is aimed for low chance, but if it is really needed, we will increase the chance, also in every patch we will replace more and more old spawns to new random spawns (mission related npcs won't be changed )

How many more spawn changes can we expect? I am waiting until you guys are finished before I update the NPC maps on the wiki. I just don't want to waste time scanning mobs to have the work wasted.

BTW, the Elite mobs drop t4 on occasion

after the first patch they all dropped the highest tier kernals, but after the recent patch it seemed the Might Arbiter Tyrannos (forget the name) got nerfed and only drops Arbiter Mech kernals yet the assault version still drops the Overlord Assaults. Why did you guys do this?

I totally agree with you on that. This game of musical chairs they are playing with the spawns is getting old FAST. At this point, its a waste of time trying to keep a decent spawn map current.  Its making PVE farming more trouble than its worth. Which is NOT the direction they really should be taking, if they wish to retain players.

I think bringing that 330 base up to say 380-400 on mechs would probably even things up a bit

Thats the range with long range targetting.

Base on Tyranos is 230m locking range with no extensions.

Wonderful... Thats what I was concerned about.  If this becomes standard, its going to pretty much finish PvE farming (especially solo).  Having a SO pop out and nuke an entire farming group is bad MoJo.

It didn't happen, they weren't paying attention while farming on a sup obs path...

How do you know that?

DEV Zoom yr asnwer to my request is than a NO. i do have to keep a wreck instaed of a bot as i had before. ok, take notice, yr not the only game around, bye fm four accounts of mine.

imho you should solve the evident crash problems that you know you have (you know you have!),
before being so rigid with yr customers. in the meantime, in case of crash, you could
check if someone else looted wreck or not, it would be a service to players who pay to play and crashed. i know of people who don't rats for fear of crash. dows it say nothing to you?
