Tone down the pve spawn rate

    Any time i set foot on an island it just seems to be a constant stream of pve spawns, to the point that i'm completely bored with it now.

    Doing a vault voyage with a friend yesterday, stopped at Marauders Arch for a dig - we had two sets of crab + electric things spawn on us almost instantly, quickly followed by phantoms, regular skellies then the parchment dig skellies. This was all in the space of 5 mins or so.

    Thing is, it doesnt even make these voyages more difficult, only more tedious. Tone them down a notch please.

    i could see how this would be annoying and i think that your right i think they need to be scaled down to where they spawn less unless your on a voyage for them.

    Cries about too much pve

    Community agrees

    One player says anything about PvP that isn't praise or love

    Community dog-piles them and tells them to either quit/uninstall permanently or 'git gud'.

    No. We need more PvE. PvP is boring.

    @hawk2148 you must be low level or do garbage voyages. The complaint is if you are looking to dig up a few Xs and skeletons are spawning on you every 10 seconds and then ocean crawlers and ghosts and its relentless. Thats not really PvE as much as tedious sword spamming to kill everything and by the time you get the last thing dead and head back to dig more garbage starts spawning.

    @goofythescot I agree the spawns feel a bit over whelming at time tho it’s odd when you to do an event like the fire tornados none of these spawn

    @goofythescot it’s been toned down multiple times. Sometimes you’ll see more enemies and sometimes you’ll see less. I’d rather not nerf it into oblivion

    Just split up the tasks with your crew. For example, have some gather loot while others distract or remove the enemies.

    Pve is already boring and easy enough, I hope they tone up the spawn rates more and make mobs one shot you or at the very least make them more dangerous... Some additional actual hard content would be welcome.

    I feel like the spawn timers of each should be tied to each other to help, so if phantoms just spawned, it chould decrease the chance that skeles or ocean crawlers can spawn in a set time, not completely remove the chance. Seeing them fighting each other can be interesting, but decrease the chance another spawn will happen for a while just to give people time to breathe after fighting, rather than having 5 hoards spawn 1 after another.

    Obvs none of you have had the pleasure of watching 2 clam guys murder an Ashen Lord because the red guy generating the shield was waaaaaaay on the other side of the island...

    It's not as much fun but I love watching crawlies and Phantoms team up on rando skelly captains.

    Honestly they have tried to patch this...not long after Pirates Life came about. I've noticed that some of the patches don't necessarily carry through like they are supposed to for whatever reason to future updates...
