    Default Check Epic 3BC spawn rate

    Dear devs,
    is it possible to check the spawn rate in epic 3bc? It is broken forever, really. I made a whole explorer run and killed 14!!! mobs and just because I had 2 ships. There were no spawns whatsoever. I had no lag and a great ping the whole time. 4 characters were running around.

    Cheers,
    Titus.

    Technically it's probably working as intended, but it's a always been a dumb mechanic for a slayer area and should be changed.
    Especially since mobs that spawn from the ships don't count towards kills either, which may or may not be a bug.

    were you solo? Other players and (to a lesser extent) hirelings do ramp up the number of enemies in wilderness zones. I don't usually kill in epic 3bc but I do remember it being pretty sparse. Pop a hireling and some owlbears/shield guardians.
    Mains - Messam, Indalecio, Mozenrath, Quackerjack.

    If you get a ship you don't get spawns in that area. Recall/reset.
    Bought my first dungeon master's guide in 1992. My favourite part of ddo is coffee and slayers

    I didn't know that.
    I got 2 ships in total. 1 at the bay at the start and the 2nd at the kobold bay. All other places should have been populated. Something is bugged here. It was never good but not 14! slayers in total running around the whole wildernes.

    Cheers,
    Titus

    Technically, it's probably not working as intended, since e3bc isn't the only wilderness area affected. I've gone into epic Barovia recently, solo, and had spawn numbers like I was in a full group, and a couple times in a full group and had spawn numbers like I was the only person in there.

    Lol, except for all the times that I do.

    I mean WAI because if you pay attention to the announcement that is made when an airship spawns it says "weaker creatures run for cover" which makes it sound like it may be intentional for all the spawns to go away once you get an airship.
