Constant Skeleton and Phantom Spawns on Islands?

  • Ive been playing season 17 for a few hours today doing the smuggler content and the amount of enemies constantly spawning as a solo slooper especially is extremely annoying. Comparatively the Ocean Crawler spawns seem normal.

    Is this just because you have smuggler loot on your ship or did they crank up the enemy spawns on islands? I dont think this is a fun change regardless.

  • Got to love it when an island come alive and other threats besides players are an actual force to fear. Gets called out as annoying/bug

    Can’t we have good times without removing pve in a pvpve game?

  • Yeah, the phantoms do seem to be spawning overtime.

    Its not really a big deal to me other than its annoying to fight off phantoms while trying to interact with the smugglers and read the text/hear their voices.

  • @Xlrking Please avoid engaging in personal arguments and derailing the topic of the thread. It is fine to debate the content of the post, and the viewpoints therein, but disrespecting any of your fellow pirates personally is against the pirate code, and our forum rules.

  • If anything, If its because you cant talk with the NPC that is the problem.
    Just put a barrier up like they did with Vaults. They cant follow you inside. Easy. But keep the spawn rate.

    After all, they do say "You be hunted by Phantoms and Skeletons" when smuggling :P and just makes Smuggling more challenging and rewarding. But overall, dead island isnt fun.
    Once players finish the Comm, they gonna be Tucking these islands :P (I know I have with my Kegs) Muhahaha

  • I think they clearly turned the Phantom spawn rate way up just to add something to the new update. But the new kegs seem hard to blow up unless you light them, so there's really not much threat from the Phantoms.

  • Definitely noticeable difference. When you cant get through the dialogue options with new Smugglers for being attacked by pve it does feel a bit silly.

  • Sooo many skellies and phantoms. Can't even read the book in the hideouts for constants spawns. Then skelly ships and megs out on the seas. Just doing one bottle smuggler run was exhausting.
