    Kris, I think youve over done it on the spawn rate

    Maybe bring down the max number spawned by 50%?

    I think everyone prefers spawn like this more then small ones. Just keep the bunching tight and prevent roaming and its perfect

    It's not just Cyrene, this is happening on Calypso too, and I assume on all planets. It's nice to have more mobs but where the spawn is already good it's become a bit ridiculous in places, there are just mobs constantly spawning and aggroing.

    There have been several universe-wide increases in mob density, the last one in September 2014 if my memory serves me right. I suspect MA does this when they add new hardware to make it possible.

    Now, this could work fine on planets where mobs move around like dying earthworms but on Cyrene it causes yuuuge lag. Some spawns, e.g. swamp lurkers near Panton, were laggy even before this.

    For good grinding, density is pretty much irrelevant. Fast respawn and small territory (so that you don't need to run to the next mob) are way more important. That 3x4 weak paneleon spawn near Great Plains easily serves three people shooting non-stop as mobs respawn instantly.

    I reckon only explosives enthusiasts are going to like this.

    I understand this was done with the intentions that there are enough mobs around for everyone. I also understand the population of Cyrene is increasing on daily bases.
    But why not go step by step and maybe increase the spawn rate for about 25% of what it recently was.
    Current spawn rate numbers seem to have increased for 500% .
    Please take a more steady approach to the changes you do to the planet.
    Your planet alone had brought my enjoyment for EU back. The missions available are imo among the best in whole game. Despite that some people seem to be dissapointed in Cyrene not bringing to the table what was promised(mechs, which I really dont care much about, as I enjoy hunting just as much in my "human avatar form").

    Also, was spawn increase number the decision of Cyrene or MA?

    dont walk the NI path guys

    I guess it was unlucky coincidence of both making the same decision at the same time.

    so that means someoneat MA needs to be sacked, since he clearly hasnt played the game.

    cant imagine what its like hunting spiders or other big agro mobs.

    What is the spawn rate on player owned areas that have low mob density?

    Pictures from Calypso make me believe MA bears at least 90% of the blame in this case. :D

    I apologize as I was being a little comical of the spawn rate, I don't believe spawn rate was changed by Cyrene team. However, the information was forward and will hope to have a answer soon.

    no worries mate, it seems as this was an universal MA decision and hope the player base will speak their opinion on it and it gets reversed to what it was.

    Not sure I will do anymore hunting till this gets sorted out, MA sure knows how to shot themselves in the foot with onesided decisions like this.

    Hey guys,

    I can say for sure that this is quite different from what's on the Cyrene Test Server:

    mob spawn march 16 2016.JPG

    I'll talk to MA today and see what's going on.

    Thanks for the information and feedback.

    Cheers,
    Kris

    Off topic:
    What weapons do you play with on the test server?
    I see you have the buttons in the screenshot, yet I cannot identify them.

    On topic:
    As a powerfister, I can say that melee has gotten a bit more difficult.
    Please encourage Mindark to lessen the spawn size.
