I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I go to an island a bunch of ocean crawlers and phantoms spawn on me every minute or two. I highly recommend Rare to change this so it's not overwhelming.
Creature Spawn Rates
I also find myself getting incredibly annoyed with the amount of enemies that spawn. So much so that I will not do gold hoarder quests. I've been leveling my gold hoarder exclusively through world events, which has it's own set of grievances but it's still not as annoying as gold hoarder. It's not JUST the enemy spawn rate but that is a big factor as well.
When I have a crew I do not mind high spawn rates. One person digs while the rest run interference. Soloing it can get a little annoying when you can't do your quest. Similarly when I try to swim to a fort to tuck and get nailed by wayyyy too many sirens and sharks (5 & 3 once all at once!) BUT that is just part of the game. Worse case is that I do not do goldhorder quests alone and pick closer jump off points for forts.
I think they keep tweaking the spawn rates. It was great for awhile then died during some recent events, now it's ramped back up so all, as in everyone, can farm the phantom kills. And I'm ok with that TBH.
I like to island hop and go where the wind takes me, so these spawn rates give me some action and the loot drops that I need.
Lately, spawn groups sizes are getting bigger, especially for phantoms. Used to be three Phantoms at a time now I get groups of at least 5 all the time that spawn in a way that you are caught in the middle from the get go.
Last, I've noticed specific small islands have these high spawn rates, while large islands are more in line with what we are all used too.
@elci-poteh sagte in Creature Spawn Rates:
Yesterday in Lagoon of whispers, I killer every mob there and started buying umbral tattoos, 2 mins later the Ghost spawned, and then again, if you go to drink some water or yo make a sandwich, you are dead XD
Going afk and stay on an island...guess what happens
