As patch notes says, every non-mission spawn was replaced to dynamic. Thats pretty good, however, on betas spawns should be a little more harder to be worth farming imho.

I can't believe you did it. What is the purpose to stay in Beta ??? YOu are juste killing the game and get boring player who just want farming..... We are in a beta + and we'have npc spots like in Daoden .... Just wana be sure, are you kidding or make a joke? I really can't believe how you make the game so boring. This final update just kill the beta... and i don't wana play anymore

Great hopes for you DEVS

In beta + there isn't assignment NPC spawn, so all the NPC are in random.

No titan, no big NPC spawn ... what's next ?

why! sparkling ponies, of course!

On average, NPC spawns contain the same lvl of NPCs as before (meaning sometimes higher, sometimes lower, depending on luck). If they spawn lower level, they spawn it in much greater numbers, not to mention only on BETA you will be able to get rank 4-5 elites.
All  those who want to farm specific kernel types can find their spawns as well.

Some spawns have been left untouched.

I've testetd new beta spawns about 30-60 min - and they mostly spawn 1-2 tier mobs. Bad luck maybe tho

Not sure if I understand your point correctly but I killed some r5 elite M/HM in alpha yesterday.

Making all the spawns random was a bad idea imo. When I want to go out and hunt mechs/hm's, I fit accordingly and bring out my mech/hm. Same if I wanted to go grind some of my favorite assault spawns, I'll pull out my assault. Now I have to go up against whatever I'm lucky enough to get? I like that there are random spawns, but making ALL spawns random is ridiculous. The way it was prior to yesterdays patch was all we needed. We had flavor. We could go to static spawns when we wanted something specific, or go to a random and grind for elites. Now we have no choice? I dislike the random spawns because of the meshing between lights/assaults and mechs/hm's. Small bots are annoying as hell to kill in mech+ and trying to grind mech+ in an assault is also frustrating at best. Not to mention kernel farming is pretty much trashed now. Who cares if we get piles of lighter bots to offset them not being larger. Who the hell wants light/assault kernels when they're past reasearching those?

What possessed you guys to take away the variety we had between static and random to completely random? What purpose does it serve? Do you understand how it will effect the research when we cant go for the kernels we need? Do you understand how annoying it is to throw all bot sizes in to one spawn? Do you understand how you took a somewhat decent solo PvE aspect of the game and trampled it in to a '1 size fits all' spawn? Why don't you do that for minerals to? Do you think miners would like it if they had to just randomly pluck resources they dont want?

As I said a long time ago the idea is nice but the spawns are NOT balanced.
They're better than they used to be but the current spawns compared to older spawns just makes these new random spawns feel boring. The rank varies too much while the fittings don't. At the end of the day if you're farming you want variety not total randomness.

Spawns should:
Have a base level from which they vary from in rank only slightly.
Rank variations should be a little rare with a 20% to be lower and a 10% chance to be higher
Robot variation should be increased so that each time a slot respawns tactics will change keeping PvEing a little more fresh.
Make NPCs smarter so that they can change tactics depending on the current robots on the field.
Make leash ranges dynamic and based on rank so that higher NPCs following you longer.
All spawns should include ewar but it should always be a rank lower and have a rare chance. E.g. 1 in 10 cycles.
Random spawns should have more slots and fewer robots in each group. E.g. 3 slots of up to 2 rather than 2 slots of up to 3.
Elites should have a 1 in 50 cycles chance and be a little more than just 10% more armour. Elites should not be seen 20 times  farming session that only lasts an hour.

Defining the terminology:
Spawn Slot - The number of groups that can be on the field at the same time.
Groups - Consists of the same robot type and can contain many of them (Usually 1 to 3)
Cycles - The number of times a slot has been spawned. Slots only re-spawn when the entire slot is dead.

But this is not progression. They made the spawns easy to farm not that the players got better.

Well the part with "same level on average" is not completely true now is it. Example:

Old Spawn: 3x 4th Star Mesmer + 3x 4th Star Kain

Now(at the moment): 3x 1st Star Mesmer +3x 3rd Star Kain

Thats a HUGE difference!! The variance on the spawns should be much smaller to prevent such a sh** spawn. This can't be right!

High level kernels will be a lot tougher to come by...more grinding yay.
