Fix enemy spawn rate on islands

  • I’m often minding my own business trying to do a voyage but with the new phantoms and ocean crawlers are making islands very difficult to stay on for a while. Sea of thieves is more than 95% islands, so they should be places you want to go to. I’ve been playing since season two, and back then islands were relaxing-ish places to do a voyage and look at the view, only occasionally facing a skeleton hoard or two once in a while. But now even a capable fighter can be, at most enraged at least frustrated at the constant stream of enemies that you have to fight off while voyaging. Now there is a bit of luck involved and sometimes you will be able to relax for a few minutes, but the other day I was at thieves haven trying to do a voyage there but the enemies made it take hours and it was so tedious I eventually gave up. I think you could solve this by simply lowering the spawn rate of all monsters, or even make ocean crawlers be limited to beaches.

  • I think they should bring in an item that works as bait and distraction. It can be a conch that lures enemies to the area where it is placed.

    It'll be like a trident, common and runs out with use

    That way people that pve will find them and be able to use them to keep them busy or can use it as a weapon of sorts to lure enemies to enemies

    Go on...

    but with the new phantoms and ocean crawlers are making islands very difficult to stay on for a while.

    So..they are Spawning up to kill you, as that is there job.

    Sea of thieves is more than 95% islands

    It more 90% Sea and 10% Island.

    back then islands were relaxing-ish places to do a voyage

    Yeah the Sea changed and now with the trouble that been going on, it starting to become Unsafe.

    But now even a capable fighter can be, at most enraged at least frustrated at the constant stream of enemies that you have to fight off while voyaging.

    I like the challenge myself, makes the islands less dead and 'alive' Also makes those boring voyages like X marks the spot more fun.

    so tedious I eventually gave up

    Okie? So you gave up instead of pushing forward. The villains won...good show.
    I think they are fine. No need for these "relaxing" and peaceful voyages. If a Player wont give you trouble than the Mobs should. Balanced.

  • @a-donkey5002 did I miss something? The spawn rate has been changed already a few times with the updates in about the last 6 months, two or three times. Now it's pretty good...not too much of them, but still enough to keep you busy

  • I think they should fix the spawn rates of pirates complaining for a fix on the forums
    🤣

  • As Tuccer who had to make sure NO GUNSHOT should be hear
    GIT GUD, MATE 🤣

    I don't know what kind of voyage are you doing, but you'll get a mob every 5 minutes 🤷‍♂️
    Don't worry, just get rid of them (Crawly might get hard, but easy to kill)
    Here's my tips, always have Fruits or Meat

    Probably hard to programm that...

  • Spawn rate has been reduced but it can still be ridiculous at times. On occasions you can get on islands that respawns enemies 5-15 seconds after killing the previous group. It can be a bit much when you're just trying to take a screenshot with your friends or sit down for a moment.

  • Were you doing the athena run at thieves haven?

  • I think that there should be a no fighting mobs or players mode for those new player but it only give you 10% reputation and gold.

  • I too agree that there should be a no combat mode with reduced loot and rep but only for those noobs that have been playing for less than a week.

  • @schwammlgott Yeah I agree a good developer listens to their community this comes from everybody I talked to. the spawn rates are way too close together it would be nice if you could clear a island and they wouldn't spawn for a while At least time to pull out your map and look for an X less than 30 seconds isn't enough to hold a map and run around with a bunch of more ads spawning on you.. I've just been doing forts and frankly those are getting boring hopefully they change this soon.
