Juvies on 01/15/2010 08:20 AM CST

Alvy,

Is there any chance we could get the gen rate of juvies upped? I haven't hunted adults much at all to really know their spawn rate, but juvies spawn really, really slow.

You might have to look harder. I never have a problem finding Juvies.

Yeah, I can find them if I look around the area, but getting more than two on me is a feat. Defenses don't move so well when only one or two is there.

You want me to build what?!?!!

I can take a look at them. How many people are hunting juvies during peek times?

The only ones I see regularly are me and Mazrian. There are a few people that wander in when northern celps fill up though.

I fully support any increase in spawn rate. Please include TF when you do this. Thanks Alvy!

Yeah, one reason I'm milking super celps for so long is that the spawn rate in adult armadillos is nowhere near the same.

You lick the dirt and discover that it tastes like dirt.

I occasionally have a problem finding 4 adults at one time, but for the most part I don't have dillo spawn problems.

If you're doing Juvies, keep in mind there is a juvie area below the ditch. I think they share spawn.

I will be there when super celpeze stop teaching or the rooms stay too crowded.. But by then, I will probably need adults.

Juvies, when it's not prime time, are the only ones I can really speak for that are somewhat slow.

Ignore Author

Re: Juvies on 01/17/2010 02:34 AM CST

With armadillos, it really depends on how many other people are hunting. So the problem area depends on the time of day and the game instance. Ultimately, I think the real issue is the gen x mobs per hunter model.

There is currently no black player.

Yeah I'd agree with that also.

Re: Juvies on 01/17/2010 03:03 PM CST

That said, I don't think anyone in armadillos would complain about more spawn.

Juvies have gotten a boost to their libidos so they'll be reproducing more. Please keep me updated on how they're doing!

As soon as they're in the groove I'll look into elders and adults!

So far they are spawning much, much better. I'm not the only one in here, but the spawn is better than it had been by quite a bit.

I've had 2-4 in the room since I started hunting with only one person in here with me. THANK YOU ALVY!

Re: Juvies on 01/18/2010 12:44 PM CST

I appreciate the kind words! 2-4 sounds like a good mix to keep the hunting interesting.

Next question - In Prime and TF, what's the average number of hunters in Adults and Elders during peak times?

Re: Juvies on 01/18/2010 12:51 PM CST

There are probably 6-8 adult hunters up here at peak hours. Me, Falk, Yuoree, Eve, Pathlone, Nefarious, and say a couple of floaters and a few more who might come over from super celps.

I wouldn't mind a similar spawn boost for adults. They can be hard to find during off peak hours.

I think it's just Tropicalo, Joshuan, Vymos and Gavyn hunting Elders.

In TF there's Lamarque, Gaara, Zihnj, Eaglestalon, Dealvo and Achilles (If I reactivate). I think Copernicus has indicated some interest in moving over there soon.

Drevid,

You really do need either the automapper or some way to track which room you're in. I can't think of a good algorithm that'll get you through the area otherwise.

I was told for juvies, always go the first direction in the room, that will circle you through it and never go to adults. (Thanks Junzaa) It might also work for going down into adults. I figured out elders once. For mages just use that fissure you can cast to mark the out room. For me as a barb, I got to think about it again.

For Juvies, especially now that the exit to elders was fixed, you can just stay in the non-maze portion after going into the ditch.
