Fauna / Mobs / Horses spawns

[Faldir]

Been going around a lot today, more specific around the Central, Eastern and Southern Steppes. Feels very empty for a such vast space.

EDIT: The spawn mechanic that reduces spawns when you clear out the animals is just shit. Cool thing, if we actually had other options to kill/tame. But right now it's not working!!

I think we need much more wildlife and other spawns around the world. Meduli area aka Western Steppes got a bit too much love maybe?

We definitely need more horse spawns through out Myrland. Way to few spawns. It doesn't have to be good spawns either. Put in some low quality horse spawns to find and tame!

If we had breeding I could cope with the empty spawns. Until then I think there should always be at least 3 level 1 horses at every spawn

I know that horse spawn rates were buffed, but there need be more spawn points in general for fauna. For such a big map, all of the creature spawn points are so spread out. Sure, that might be more realistic, but it's deeply unfun and forces all people to be mounteds. The number of spawnpoints seems roughly the same as MO1, but the map is much, much larger. Increasing spawn rates will not fix this.

I think they should turn it down a little. Its a little to fast on the respawn for horses. Half way between the old and new rates would be good.

why? what bothers you about horses in a horse spawn ?

Its a resources that is used to fight me???? Why would I not care about horse spawns, they need to be able to be regulated by the playerbase as a way to counter other players when you deny them horses.

most people need horses to haul stuff or simply move around the huge map. it's not all about your horse free playstyle.

Guess you'll want to kill a lot more horses, even before they're tamed, then.

Then buy a horse or camp the spawn. It isnt all about your shallow needs and want for a easymode game.

You read it right here, @EZgold . Horses are an easy mode feature (¿WTF? /boggle) and your arguments can be mirrored back at you (fun-house style) so by some 'logic' he 'wins'.

But if it can be done, it will be done, and this game (if it lives) does have a 'local extinction' feature planned for it (no timeframe). Henrik did say that, once upon a time. In other words, some day, wipe out enough spawns and there will be no Horses or other MOB in a region. Which certainly suggests what those who don't like others having Horses can do about it — instead of crying for the game to do it for them.

To buy a horse it means somebody had to tame it. So basically what you want is me or everybody else just camp the spawns, as in wait around for the pixels to spawn. No thank you, not after already waiting tens of hours in a queue to play the game, and not even after they fix the queue. The horse is just a tool and I would rather use it to create content for myself and other players than just play a waiting game.

Too fast spawning means horses are abundant and easy to get. This is both good and bad. Means horses will be cheap for non tamer characters, but then again one might argue a horse should be a luxury not too easy to acquire.

More like a necessity in my eyes given the size of the world. Like a car can be, even if it eats up a lot of income. (Any furture scheme of riding a wagon across Myrland as if it was a bus are at best kind of far-off in time, and riding ships is even farther.)

Horses are consumable. Literally. And if you don't eat it, a pack of wolves might; if they don't kill it, your next opponent may.

Given these condtitions, it was probably better for Star Vault to err (if the spawns are mistakenly too big) on the side of caution at launch and have larger herds of horses that could be dialed back as the economy is built, rather than smaller herds that wouldn't be at all adequate.

Hey, at least no-one's breeding them, yet — right?

lets just give horses for free. good idea dont u think?

mounted is quite powerfull, mounted need mounts to fight. Why should mounted be able to just pluck freely from the wild their endgame gear. Ive tamed many 125 horses. Limited horse spawns are clearly for balance.|

You people are just selfish and dont want to work for a horse. They are a luxury that is buyable but you want a EZ mode game where you get free horses with out any work.

Horses are by no means abundant now even if they are easier to get than the legit 3+ hours waiting at the spawn needed to get one immediately after launch.

I am waiting for the desperate cries to just empty the world of fauna when more riding options will be available.

The old timer was 30mins with at least two horses there or 1 hour with no horse there. So 3 hours is completely wrong.
Right now its halved so every 30mins with out horses aready at the spawn you get a horse that spawned. With 2 or more horses its 1 horse every 15mins.

To many horses and they need to tune it down but dont need to make it like before. Just a horse every 45 if the spawn is empty or a horse every 22 minutes when the spawn has two or more will be fine.

Resources control is a very important aspect of the game.

you must be counting on just one tamer per spawn.
out of the thousand players that wanted a horse ON AVERAGE they were not getting it after waiting just 1 hour.

I think even at 15 to 30 mins spawning there is still not enough horse availability.
