    Really plentiful spawns, which is good, but agree that some tuning may be necessary. I found a spot where part of the radar was literally solid red :D

    Agree, not too much tho, 5-10% might be all thats needed in the "worst" places

    and low aggro mobs is great, but some seems a bit too low aggro too hehe (dont shoot me pls...) oh wait you cant nanananaaana

    I think it's a win-win situation atm.

    Dense spawns - hunters happy.

    Low agro - miners happy.

    dencity is perfect, i would love it to stay this way (unless mob agro will go up....)

    Yep. The only issue I've seen is killing into the spawn and new spawns close in around me, effectively giving the multiple-mob attacks - some are tough beyond just one at a time.

    Some tuning, but not too much "down". Maybe have a 5-6 "hot spots" with the "low spots" on the edges and in between in the spawn footprint.

    At least we know some of the potential for spawning mobs!!

    As a miner, I agree. I like the wide open spaces. When I do find a spawn of low agro mobs, I can work my way thru them. If they are agro or two big, I just have to run a bit and I find way thru or the border. It's definitely nice to mine here than Calypso where I have to spend a good amount of time dodging or fighting mobs unless I go to a few areas.

    As a sometimes hunter, I like the dense spawns but they could be culled a bit. I like to move to find the hot spot. I did not like Crystal Palace because, A) I could never get to the center of the dome and B) unless u have a good tagging weapon, u get swarmed after a few mobs.

    So I like the dense spawns with alleys or ways to get around them. All in all, very hunter and miner friendly IMO. Good job. It looks like Ark was designed by someone who actually played PE/EU and experienced the frustrations first hand.

    And I definitely like being able to sell my stuff at auction because the new bps actually use what I mine...and I can sell what I craft. I hope space will use basic engines, hoods and all the other stuff which is useless on Calypso.

    :)

    Same here. Once the space is open to all and VTOL's get their add-ons and all other space-ships are introduced, as an Arkadian miner, I hope crafters will need lots of Arkadian ores/enmatters to make them.

    ... and yes, Arkadia is a very miner-friendly planet even now. There might be quite a few pages of mining amps on Arkadian at Auc. when Arkadia Underground finally opens. That's what I'm waiting for the next VU ;)

    Hi,
    ^^ This! If possible.

    I know there's many ppl that enjoy standing in 1 place for hours and slaughter from there, and I'm happy for them that such a possibility exists on Arkadia. Even if I myself cannot stand it, I usually fall asleep quickly if I try ;-)))


    I like it different. I don't like slaughtering, I like hunting - the most fun for me is to be in an area where there's a defined mob threat range, and where I can kill 1 mob comfortably, but have to fight for my life if I pull 3 of them.
    Best if it isn't a completely flat, empty area, but too much vegetation and cliffs/ valleys don't match too - smooth hills, sparse vegetation, bushes/ trees maybe opalo range from each other.
    And then high dam/ low HP mobs. Atrax, not Atrox, to bring a Calypso example.

    I'd be happy if some places like above would exist for me, too.
    Somebody know places like such on Arkadia? Argo/ Atrax Guardian +/- 2 maturities or smaller would describe my preferred mob range. Maybe PM to not get off topic here?

    Have a good time!

    PS: RL busy atm. But the flight costs are already saved in my storage in nice, shiny golden PED coins ;-)))
