Respawn Timer
I know that the suggestion topic is locked, but I feel the respawn timer really isn't working that well in low level areas with the volume of people we have starting characters at the moment. Unless my concept of how the mechanics works is completely wrong, it seems some areas just aren't staying empty long enough to allow respawn to happen over a reasonable time frame. I don't know if this could be changed for low level areas only, possibly temporarily, to ensure that people don't end up wandering round empty quest sites over and over hunting for things to kill. I imagine this could well be quite frustrating, and not at all representative of playing the game at higher levels, outside of one or two well visited areas that get overcrowded at peak times.
Re: Respawn Timer
im thinking we are talk about skal and i have a few ideas
for the rat writ, there is another large cellar area that can be used for the rats, but of course its up to the devs.
for the tin mines yeah the upper level needs to simply spawn in multiple spots not just the main center area. also perhaps a memo on the writs that all members must be on the same level of dungeon or mine or mountain or whatever that isnt a patrol writ to get the kills. Ive noticed some players that are new are still learning not to rush ahead when in groups

Re: Respawn Timer
We're going to improve this system a bit. Currently it's a serverwide setting. We're going to both lower that setting and make it area specific, so we have more control.
And we'll add some randomness.

Re: Respawn Timer
I wish a faction and its relationship with NPCs could be calculated into that one time. for these random encounters.

Re: Respawn Timer
To be clear the 'randomness' means the following:
The time it is going to take for an area to respawn will ALWAYS be lower than it is now, sometimes just a little, sometimes quite a lot.
