UD Low Level Spawns
There are some recently tweaked low-level spawns, particularly Derro and Trogs, that are spawning with some very dangerous weaponry to include +2 and +3 items. I assume this was intentional? But, the mounting pile of dead lowbies, could this perhaps be re-thought?

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
The darkfalls behind the waterfall recently saw the trogs get a signifigant upgrade to their armament. ICly, it has been noticed, and we've been RPing it as they're recieving arms from the Crinti invasion.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
The RP of it is fine. But, this is literally the first place you can go as a UDer when you outgrow the bonefields and the great dung heap (not kidding). So, when you are a level 5-6 say wizard, and your greatest defensive spell might be ghostly visage, there are now KD spamming Trogs with steel swords on the road...its death. There are also sometimes +3 weapons in the Derro, in the DERRO, whose typical traffic is levels 3-5. This point is even more egregious here.
This is like giving damask weapons to the hobgoblins in bramble wood as a design point.
I humbly think this needs rolled back. Defensive measures on the server are already everywhere being supplanted, including entire lines of spells with the now craftable +4 weapons and the +4 and some +5 weapons now even found in the loot matrix.
I'm glad that blanked immunities have been reconsidered, but this is the new horizon of balance-breaking on the server.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
On a positive note, if you survive I bet the weapons sell well.
Re: UD Low Level Spawns
This change happened awhile ago. Can't kill 'em, level up and return. Literally what RPGs are about.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Honestly, I never go there till im done with the Stingers and Driders.
Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Derro & Troglodytes fit nicely into the L5-8 range, and truthfully that's where they should be.

Right...if they didn't suddenly have +3 weapons.Ork wrote:Derro & Troglodytes fit nicely into the L5-8 range, and truthfully that's where they should be.
Not the Kuo-Toas, the Troglodytes along the Dark Falls, which you literally have to walk through to get to the Stingers and the Driders in the first place. These spawns used to be a lizardfolk and trog mix similar in difficulty to the lowland swamps.DarkDreamer wrote:Honestly, I never go there till im done with the Stingers and Driders.
I also love how...
Red Giant: "hey, Derro have +3 weapons"
Community: "honestly, not a problem"
or
Community: "don't go there"
If that's the case. I'll just go camp em' with a high single-digit or low teen and make a ton...as apparently everyone else has been doing! Complaint withdrawn!
Edit: Not meant as snarky as it sounds, but seriously, is this not a problem?

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
I mean I would consider it a problem if for no other reason than it gives people who use those weapons easy and early access to damask-tier weapons, even if they can't use it until the level requirement.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
You don't have to walk through them to get to the Outpost, you can take a boat from Anduor. While I agree they could be a problem to a caster, I had no issues killing derro at levels 3-4 with my double axe kensai barb.
Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Derro berserker weapons are iron tier (+1/+1). Lunatics are steel type level (+3/+1).
Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Well, now the spawns don't drop the weapons but still have the attributes. Much appreciated.
Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Well, I was hoping for them to have bronze again...
Baby steps?

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Those spawns are still really easy if you take other people with you. Now they are also profitable.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
If you hunt Derro or Troglodytes as a level 3-6 you probably deserve to get hit by +3 weapons, tho. <.< >.>
The Andunor sewer loop is l33t tier and will get you from 3-6 in like a few hours, after that driders or stingers are doable with the funds you made from that, depending on your build of course.

Re: UD Low Level Spawns
Try going out to the areas behind the port, lots of spawns in the 5-10 region there before you get to the spriggans.
