Clean up your spawns

[ThePaganKing]

Alright, if you want to be one of those people that just runs through an area to get to the barrels to maybe get some good loot, that is fine, but clean up your damn spawns!

I am getting tired of turning a corner at Shaharan or the Ogre caves and face spawns that are way out of my league that should be survivable otherwise.

If you are too lazy or to idiotic to clean up your spawns, then don't go there in the first place.

Sometimes people do die to their spawns. No need to get insulting...

I'd be willing to bet that happens more often than people running through for loot. There was more of that on the monsters than there is in any barrel, last I checked.

Also, there is a despawn timer on almost all areas - if you run across rogue ones you were hot on someone else's heels.

I know I've died or barely escaped with my life before... from some scary stuff spawning on me. And I'm pretty sure you have as well. Just because somebody was unable to clear their spawn doesn't make them stupid nor lazy.

It just means they weren't a full caster class or HiPS assassin! Zing!

For serious, though. Worst-case scenario, it's dynamic content. Eh? Eh?

Adventuring is dangerous. Don't expect to always run into things you can deal with.

[ThePaganKing]

Actually, I expect to have tough battles and welcome them. However, can anyone tell me what level you have to be to spawn the Goblin warriors, shamans, and bards? Or what level you have to be when to spawn like say, seven or eight at a time?

Maybe I am just looking for common courtesy?

I wasn't soloing the caves either, I was with a balanced party of three, wizard, fighter, druid.

My point is that if I want to go somewhere to grind for a bit, then I make sure that I always clean my spawns just in case a lower level person is behind me and takes a big hit because of my higher spawns.

Anything wrong with that?

Look, I have seen it too many times now, a higher level person buffed to the gills or stealthing just running past you at Shaharan to get the barrels. Maybe they don't kill them because they don't get any gp or xp when they do because of their level, but is that a reason to leave it behind for others?

Not sure what the timer is, but they were there and we sure didn't spawn them, we were all third level.

I laughed when I read your first post, PaganKing.
Way to get people to co-operate.
Just hurl out the insults and expect them to run with it.

But ah yes, the Shaharan Hills farmers.
I seriously doubt they're after the barrels, but the iron and trees on the other hand..
It does get very irritating when you waltz in as a level 3 into the Hills and are immediately zerged by a platoon of angry goblins.

This is quite different from the case of someone spawning a million mobs in their faction territory, as they can actually deal with these ones themselves.

I've yet to spawn a group in Viridale or the Hills as a level high enough to spawn those numbers, and then not be able to deal with them.
And yes, I play alternatives to divine casters.
Though I understand the ever-present exception that is those silly rogues.
You guys are teh suxors.

But, it would be nice if people would try to take care of those.

I actually seen it around viridale forest, they stay hidden and take everything leaving a mob of gnolls like 5 at a time in different spots.
I believe they call it Ninja Looting no? anyway i made no difference for me I just backed out and left for work.

Ninja looting sounds cool and is the perfect description for what Pagan King is talking about.

But I’m posting because I want to thank Vaelek for the comic relief.

What? Isn't that how your soul less Frenzied Berserker operates?

[Vaelek]

Yeah, thanks. Much love. >_>

I take pride in that I have a character that outrageously obnoxious and rude.
Mainly because hes very different from my previous characters, like the ever polite Mathell who now permanently sits in a Sundren jail cell.

I should also point out that I've never expected anyone to just run with my FB's a-hole attitude. I've been kicked around so many times on that character, it makes Kaizen's first ten levels look easy.
And as he is a very irritating character, I also generally go out of my way to be polite OOC while on him.
Theres no sense in bringing it past RP, as that's all it really is.

No doubt. Many of us have gotten the Tells explaining your RP. I just found it funny that the same person capable of RP'ing Vaelek could make that statement. Keep on keeping on... its what makes the server fun!

ooc =/= ic

[Twisted-Indoctrine]

There's certainly been times where I've walked into an area with a ton more mobs than their should be fore my level but in the end it depends on the character I'm playing. There's been times where I've been playing a tank and was like "Sweet, bonus XP."
