The aftermath!

[lapta]

TBH i thought it was going to be a lot worst, but seems that after all the EXP there are 3 people over rebrith 6, 3 people rebirth 6, 4 people rebirth 5, 4 people rebirth 4, and alot of rebirth 3 players now.

So tbh your all lazy :P

I was expecting a hell of a lot more people to be rebirth 5 +.

Well now thats over with, i am sure that all the people who were pissed off with the rewind are now a bit happier, and i can work on the xmas event.

LAZY? LAZY? I flogged my little backside off but there are only so many mobs in game and people as I said before this would all rush in game who don't often play and take over everywhere......
Ask Precious she came and saw me last night trying to find mobs in insect cave...... as for BDD it was usually wiped clean......
plus we do have outside lives and need to keep those going.

I found myself awake at 3am more than once over the weekend just to have BDD all to myself, I love how many mobs are in there now but I do wish the mobs had been spread out across other caves more.

The problem with BDD is that it is a straight run, even without @freepets there are plenty of pets that will gladly wipe the cave clean of all mobs without you doing much more than walking through each floor. The more usual cave layouts (insect cave for example) give people more chance to find mobs as it's harder to wipe the cave clean, unless the spawns are as small in said caves as they are at the moment. Also RT's are very useful for cleaning a cave like this. Removing the use of RT's and spreading the increased amount of mobs in BDD across other caves would help the leveling issues.

As I'm sure a lot of people will tell you I am no leveling expert, but the popular leveling areas I can think of besides BDD are; Insect cave, Prajna temple, Prajna stone cave, Bug cave and Yims. All the noob areas I know but Deadwoods is all the rebirth players need, perhaps a good idea would be a different floor or even a whole other cave for different rebirth levels and/or classes as even the amount of mobs in Deadwoods isn't enough for all the rebirth players now.

On this subject, I saw Solar mention in-game that the mobs are lagging because there is too many mobs in-game at the moment. Is this true? Because I thought the whole point of the new i7 servers was to reduce this so that loads more mobs could be added? I know there is ten times as many mobs on the first floor of most BDD caves now but has this really caused the lag even with the new uber powerful servers?

Bit of a rant I know, perhaps a simple thread for people to give their opinions on mob counts and caves would be easier for Jamie to digest

I thought lapta said the other day we are not on the new one at present as it was the one with the problem the other day?
One floor has been reduced again in PT so now there is only the square maze looking floor then KR.
BC is so reduced from what it was.
IC has few mobs on the first 2 floors so everyone rushes 3rd and KR for mobs.
I have just rebirthed and from what I have been told there are so many pk'rs there it's very off putting.
In the RB town today I saw 3 people that are red so that supported what has been said about it.
Mobs are also hard there for lower level RB's.
Mobs in BDD higher level caves are not increased as are the lower levels caves.
So it was hard work finding many mobs due to all the extra people that came on simply because they heard we had added exp.
Some people are "safe" in the game from pk'rs most of the rest are open game for them so "safe" people can level wherever undisturbed.
It was ok in the new maps but then they were closed off.
