Patchday Notes

Improvement: We´ve adjusted the NPC spawn in the Fenghuang regions

Please elaborate, I'm not seeing an improvement, the spawn rate of certain ships has been dramatically reduced.

 

Yes it seems normal npc's have reduced maybe they increase the event npc's and it effected the regular Fenghuang region spawns.

 

As per seafight official discord -

way less but way quicker respawn. in sum its about the same


the system works in a way that we have a respawn time, amount and max amount.

[18:52]
as long as the max amount is not reached, the respawn will happen

so there will nothing be done by today anyway. i will take a dedicated look @ the server performance tomorrow. the main reason for the change were reports about entering a map and nothing was moving because of too many NPCs. if it is now way to less, to be capable of finding any, it is not a problem to increase the spawn again. but anyways, first need to observer, if this had any impact on lags and rubberbanding and client stuttering

 

As stated it is being looked into and then the team will make a judgement call based on their findings.

Tex

 

I did suspect the amount of NPCs was reduced to lower the amount of I/O calls on 'lagging servers' to increase performance.
But not all servers are suffering, int13 had been running fine before NPC reduction.

 

As there is nothing further to state at this time, this thread will be closed.
