Why spawn for always the same...?

Post by La fronde »

Sorry but i write in french !

Bonjour,

Pourquoi les "spawn" sont toujours pour les mêmes? Souvent en passant par hasard sur je vois un groupe de joueurs sur la minimap. En allant voir, je me rend compte qu'il y a un admin et qu'il spawn pour eux... Et curieusement ce sont souvent les mêmes. Qui, de plus, sont des haut level. Alors soit on vient les prevenir, soit les chercher ou même les deux.
Ce serait bien de faire cela equitablement merci.

Car je ne suis pas le seul à le penser!

Amicalement,

La fronde

Hello,

Why the "spawn" are always the same? Often through random I see a group of players on the minimap. Going to see, I realize that there is an admin and spawn it for them ... And interestingly it is often the same. Which, moreover, are high level. So either we just prevent them or get them or even both.
It would be nice to do this equitably thank you.

Because I'm not the only one to think!

I think the request here is for a low level spawn party.... which would be nice if planned out.

Unfortunately, when it comes to "spur of the moment" parties, it is very rare for there not to be someone of higher level there. They can end up taking most of the experience to be gained.

I will say that the mods (in my experience) tend to spawn creatures that all present can fight, so if you were to attack you would get experience. Just be careful of some of the stronger ones, that they don't hit you. I have seen these made weaker as well though.

Maybe if you asked a mod nicely when he/she is spawning things, perhaps they can set aside an area for lower levels to participate... just an idea mind you; these events are up to mod discretion.

What I tend to do during my parties is starting off with the strongest of foes first, simply to preoccupy the higher levels. I then run around to the players who are too weak to gain any exp off the first wave - spawning skeletons, blue vlads, spiders, sapphire dragons, red minions, etc.

Each party I host, I attempt to make all attendees satisfied - regardless of level. Although, when there are several lv 400+ players there, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain spawns for the [newbs] due to the surplus of mana; it's quite a lot to keep up with. :)

Right, the otyher thing I've noticed is that when I do a "spur of the moment" party, a bunch of low levels disappear to log into their higher level alts to get more xp (which is fine, but hard for low levels) ... after these maps are implemented (soon...very, very soon ; ) maybe I'll spend some time trying to do some lower level only parties... only a little time though, because then it's back to adding some more quests, then new map(s) for medium level players (maps coming in June are gonna be pretty tough )

Yes, definitely, I agree. Sec spawns very wisely and spawns for all with hundred percent satisfaction. If there were spawn parties with class restriction then it would be far more satisfying and rewarding. In most spawn parties, most of the drops are owned by high level mages, who reserve mana and attack at red which amounts to stealing the kill.

Isn't could based one dmg, not kill? So even as a low level fighter hitting a Cyclops I fighting a high level I get some could. Die a lot in these patties, been killed more often by mod spawns then by O'Connor and regular monsters together. But it's fun;) and probably safer as an archer of made which doesn't have to close.

EXP is based on damage dealt, it could be that you were fighting a monster with a large dexterity integer.
The stronger enemies have 75-100.

Sorry about your death, it's always unfortunate. :(
Normally, I will have a designated tanking player while warning lower levels several times to go below the higher levels. (while also providing weaker monsters for others)
