Hello Cyntarists,
Similar to the June 2, 2020 patch notes this patch includes a spawn rebalancing update for spawns 800+.
The Cyntara Developer team prides ourselves on including precise patch notes and update information to our players in regard to changes that affect gameplay. What a lot of players may not realize is that the Cyntara patch notes only include changes made that affect gameplay in one way or another. When players ask me why a patch or an update looks so outwardly small compared to previous patches or updates, I tell them that it's more likely than not because a lot of the work that was done during that period was in the back-end, or to code that doesn't directly affect gameplay in a meaningful way to players.
Cyntara v15-s2 brought another feature that was not presented on the patch notes because it did not have an effect on gameplay - yet. A lot of time was spent on improving the recording of different metrics of the game so that we can make more precise changes that influence the game in a more expected fashion.
Unlike the June 2, 2020 spawn rebalancing patch, the data used to make spawn adjustments was much more detailed and objective. This was my first attempt at using this approach, but it is my hope that the changes are welcomed. That being said, if you know a spawn to be either "the best" or "worthless" in a level range, you can expect that it was made more equal to other spawns in its level range. My primary goal in balancing spawns are still aligned with the famous words of Wood.
Level 800
Yielothax: No change.
Nightmayers: This spawn was under-performing. Both monsters in this spawn received a slight experience boost.
Demi Liches: This spawn was greatly over-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted for Demi Liches.
Swamp Lords: This spawn was slightly under-performing. No adjustments made at this time.
Seacrest Serpents: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Level 850
Outlaws: This spawn was greatly under-performing. Both monster resistances have been decreased. Spawn density increased. Added a few more loop-arounds inside the spawn for a more cohesive hunting experience.
Ogres: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made. However, due to player feedback, we will be keeping a close eye on the stats.
Insectoids: This spawn was greatly over-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted.
Level 900
Demons: This spawn was greatly under-performing. Increased the experience, spawn density, and respawn rate in "Demon Hell".
Undead Dragons: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Legendary Warriors: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Mad Mages: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted for both monsters. The spawn density was increased.
Level 950
Flying Books: This spawn was under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted.
Shadow Dragons: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted for both monsters. The spawn density and respawn rate was increased.
Ice Miners: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Level 1,000
Minotaur Cultists: This spawn was over-performing. The resistances of some monsters were adjusted. The hitpoints/experience ratio of some monsters were also adjusted.
Lycanthropes: This spawn was over-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio of all monsters were adjusted.
Forbidden Temple: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio of all monsters were adjusted. The resistances of Cult Enforcer were decreased.
Arid Plateau: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio of all monsters were adjusted. The resistances of some monsters were greatly decreased.
Mind Flayers: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints of Mind Flayers has been decreased. The spawn density has been increased.
Level 1,200
Blighted Grotto: This spawn was over-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio of both monsters was adjusted.
Feyrist Meadows: This spawn was under-performing. The hitpoints of Enfeebled Silencers has been decreased. The resistances of Weakened Frazzlemaws has been decreased.
Nightmare Ruins: This spawn was over-performing for certain vocations. The hitpoints/experience ratio of both monsters was adjusted. The resistances of both monsters were decreased.
Old Fortress: This spawn was greatly under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted for all monsters. The resistances of some monsters was decreased.
Level 1,400
Demonborn Valley: This spawn was under-performing. The hitpoints/experience ratio was adjusted.
Primordial Grounds East: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Primordial Grounds West: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Level 1,600
Demon Jail: This spawn was greatly under-performing. Increased spawn density/respawn rate (100% remapped spawn points). Added a few more loop-arounds inside the spawn for a more cohesive hunting experience.
Primordial Prison: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Catacombs: This spawn was performing as expected. No adjustments made.
Level 1,800
Sparkling Pools: This spawn was performing as expected. However, due to feedback from players, we have decided to make Mercurial Menaces keep 3sqm distance rather than 4sqm distance. This should effectively buff the spawn for most vocations. We will keep a close eye on this spawn as well.
Level 2,000
Forsaken Lakes: Level requirement decreased from 2,000 to 1,900. This spawn has no performance data. We have seen player feedback regarding it being similar / the same as Sparkling Pools; however, there is more to performance than hitpoints/experience values of monsters. We will wait until the actual performance has been measured.
