Just casually strolling by looking for other threads and found this gem. You think the exp per map altering for tomes was bad? They do the same thing with altering field spawns and force you into dungeon running to sell more resets.

Lmao no, why would they fix something done on purpose in an absolutely dirty way for them to make more money at players expense? Actually thinking back on it they did “increase” the spawns by 50% after these complaints just like the game client performance “fix”.

monster spawn rate increased 50%. • r/treeofsavior

Hm...Are you sure you increase the respawn rate by 50%?

Based on my admittedly lacking of understanding of the game spawn systems, there are two systems in place that control monster generation. There's regular map spawns (which are simply timer based) and what's called internally as 'smartgen'. Smartgen is a neat system that ties monster spawn to player presence, and does things like spawn monsters around a player and sets ambushes and such. If you're walking around and monsters pop up randomly and attack you, that's smartgen. This system is inde…

Anyone feel like we need more frequent spawns? Even after the +50% patch

The spawn changes they did last maintenance affect only the dynamic monster spawns; spawns that occur as you walk around where monsters appear to ambush you. Those should be occurring about twice as often. Main issue is those aren't the spawns people are complaining about. They're complaining about quest mobs like Glizardons and Egnomes taking 5 minutes to respawn when in closed beta they would appear every 15 seconds. They're complaining about maps that are literally empty until the next spaw…

Here you go. It’s been RESOLVED already and ignored for 6+ months.
