Right now whenever creatures spawn it is based on some static rules. They very from area to area, but most common is a ratio, 3:1, 4:1 etc. and every time spawn happens it will work to restore that ratio.<br /> <br /> This leads to the problem where one person can tie up the spawn that was meant for many people, but if we turn the spawn rate up really high it&#039;s hard to move into the area since you&#039;ll just die if you can&#039;t take 4 of them at once out the gate.<br /> <br /> Under the new system the idea is that when creatures spawn, the system is slightly more intelligent and it tracks what&#039;s going on in the hunting area and adjusts the spawn to reflect that. This leads to three basic scenarios:<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Equilibrium&#039;&#039;&#039; - Creatures are spawning and dying at a steady rate. Sounds good, let&#039;s keep doing that.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Underpopulation&#039;&#039;&#039; - Creatures aren&#039;t dying. This indicates either someone is tying them all up through dancing or the creatures and players are&#039;t finding each other. Either way, let&#039;s let a few more out than normal.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Overpopulation&#039;&#039;&#039; - Creatures are dying at an amazing rate. This is almost certainly due to someone dramatically underhunting or AoE farming or the like (Not behaviors we want to encourage). Let&#039;s crank down the spawn rate to encourage them to move on to something harder.<br /> <br /> Keep in mind the adjustments for these factors would be gradual, not just slamming from one extreme to the other every few minutes<br /> <br /> Note that this is not going to happen that quickly - It currently is waiting on some mechanics that are outside of my control, then I need to find time to entirely build the system, and then we&#039;re going to have to release it in a very controlled fashion.<br /> <br /> |sub=Combat, <br /> }}</div>
