This is a good idea. I’ve noticed it’s like this in some places but it needs to be like it everywhere!
Every zone needs to spawn like the starter zones.
spawnrate is s h i t

Hi, here to feedback that spawn rates need to be increased! also consider increasing not just spawn rates but mob density also.
As of now, it’s a totally unejoyable experience in finding mobs for quests/grinds.
I’ve just read that kToS is increasing certain maps. It’s a good direction but more steps can be taken!

Please increase spawn rateof monsters!
It makes you feel bad every time you meet another player cause you know there’s not enough mob for both.
The spawns were increased by 50%, which was noticeable, I think one more increase that size and we should be at a comfortable rate. If they are worried about botting of particular areas, maybe shift some of the monsters from hanamings and tenant garden into higher level maps so we have places to grind. Past 150 you can count on 1 hand the number of maps with spawns that are reasonably sized, and even those are… mmm a bit light for real grinding. We just need a slight bump in the spawn rate to make it so we spend more time fighting and less time waiting by a campfire… not that I don’t enjoy the conversation time.
The spawnrate needs to be adressed. Also the density is not balanced at all.
More dense spawns would make the game alot more enjoyable.
Actually, the rate of ‘drop in’ spawns was increased by 50%. It didn’t help at all. The increase you are likely seeing is people leaving the game / past the area’s you are doing. At 200+ its a nightmare to find a monster / group.
The problem with the 50% patch was that they increased the spawn amount when the bigger issue is the RESPAWN rate. Like mentioned before people are having issues completing quests as it gets very competitive to find a particular mob. Why was the amount and respawn timer raised from CBT in the first place? Couldn’t be for performance purposes, because the game still runs similarly. I honestly hope it wasn’t raised to deter botters, because that has only made the situation more frustrating for people that want to play the game legitimately.** If it’s neither technical nor preventative, then why even tweak the game as far as field mobs are concerned? It doesn’t make the game anymore challenging, just more artificially time-consuming unless of course that is what you’re going for, IMC.
**PS: Regarding preventative measures for bots. I both commend and condemn IMC for the way they’ve been handling bots. I appreciate the frequent communication regarding bots and measures that will be taken to prevent gold seller / botters and others that will upset the balance of the game. However, I take issue with the ways in which some measures are implemented. The trading/market system is heavily restricted to deter bots / gold sellers but it makes it even more frustrating for your legitimate players.
tl;dr My point is: Your methods work like DRM. You have to find a happy balance when it comes to dealing with bots that don’t restrict the enjoyment one can find from your game, IMC. Botters will always have an easier time, because their ambition is to exploit. Legitimate players shouldn’t be punished as a result. I hope you give this a read GMs and pass along the message.
Thank you

Please pay attention and say word to us, community hardly anticipated information regarding this issue, and more, we just need more communication from IMC side except of info about bots.

It totally needs to be increased.
The game is currently a nightmare for that. It’s all bout KS, waiting forever for a specific mob to spawn (to farm it/its drops or do a quest), and just sitting waiting.
While I don’t mind waiting a bit, or doing the whole map to find every XXX mob and kill it, it’s truly dumb to have to wait 10 minutes for one mob to spawn.
With quests, it becomes totally unbearable (and makes you want to rage quit) when you need a specific item from a mob/mobs but it rarely drops, when you have to kill a mob/get its quest drop in a limited area (if you kill outside of the circle, it doesn’t count) or when your quest is to lure mobs to a specific area, and kill them there.
Even by switching channels you have to wait forever.
It’s arrived to the point, the day before yesterday one of my new characters arrived at the Tenet Chapel zone, with quests to do. But it was ~7-8pm, so instead of continuing, I logged off on this character and only did the quests the next morning.
If we want to advance in quests, to grind, to farm, or anything like that, we have to play in the mornings, when there are way less people… And even then, there are still lots of bots.
It’s not enjoyable at all.

IMC, wake up, this is needed.

I wonder if IMC is going to wait for the game to die to do something about it. Strike while the iron’s hot, the arrival of f2p might be the last chance the company has to prove ToS’ worth as a competitor in the MMORPG market.

Pretty much, If they wait til F2P hits, and they all run into the issue and quit (and they will quit because of it) it will be to late for the game.
Needs to be fixed before the 10th for the game to stand a hope in hell of holding a pace in the MMO market.

The worst thing that could happen in a MMORPG launch is servers down, queues and low spawn rates.
- We all know when f2p comes we need the servers up and working.
- We all know no one likes to wait in queues for 8 hours.
- We all know there is a ton of people doing the sames quests and killing the same mobs.
Some things are just a matter of thinking about what happened with other games and where they f* up. Then just don’t do that.
If Tree of Savior can’t see these things then maybe it’s doomed to failure since there is no planning and simple issues like spawn rate is being asked here and not fixed yet.
