Two seconds spawn rate, good or bad?
(Originally I posted this from Official Maple Forums but since it didn't attract readers I decided to copy paste here with some minor editing)
Since RED patch, mobs spawn rate was changed from once per 13 seconds into once per 2 seconds. I thought it would be a great thing that it actually boost our experience rate, mobs are spawning fast in Evolution World, people are now able to complete Mu Lung Dojo, and so on. I thought everyone will be happy.
But now after couple weeks I found out it may create some disadvantages.
The first thing I noticed was people started to train at Hall of Honor instead of Warrior Grounds. It is said by many people that Hall of Honor is now faster if they are in party. I had to look back between these two maps for reason, and what I found that in Warrior Grounds they spawn once per 8 seconds instead while in Hall of Honor it remained once per 2 seconds. Of course, decent attackers would able to kill mobs in Hall of Honors and getting their mobs respawned instantly without waiting.
Here's another problem though, some classes are so great in training they are capable of killing whole Hall of Honor mobs and spam attacking while standing still without much effort. If they can kill Hall of Honor mobs instantly and also getting mobs respawned instantly, that would be the most efficient and fastest experience gain. Most classes are unable to do that, but some classes can, which they have the advantage.
I really don't know what I want though. Like I said, I think everyone is happy with instant 2 seconds spawn rate, but at same time I feel disadvantaged. I'm afraid that asking to change back to old spawn rate will anger many players. Coming from current rank 2 in Global MS, I am sure that top 5 rankings in GMS will suddenly change; wait until the next ranking update and you will see.
I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, discuss your opinion.

u forgot zero with the 170 skill that hits the entire map and then u use the lvl 150 skill to reset the cooldown and use it again
Oh the advantage of Lumi mobbing. <3
Some classes are worse at mobbing, and I guess it's unfortunate that it's like that. But at the same time, you probably knew that the class you play might not be doing as well as other classes in this department. It affects more than just the training for the top spots if you were to change it back to the 'old spawnrate'.
@Endurance:
None of those got a spamable skill that can do that :S
It doesnt make a difference for me since I am always on the leeching end, especially during x2 when I cannot enjoy the perks of dpq because my MP refuses to heal in a timely manner.

[quote=raesoner]omfg like always, nexon gives sth good and u complain GOD, ignore the rest opf the classes and play ur own class, stop thinking about the rest and think about urself!, sigh.[/quote]
I agree Nexon gave us something good and overall I'm satisfied in this patch. I tried to explain that since spawn rate was changed it creates advantages and disadvantages between classes which I think it wasn't an issue beforehand.
Isn't that the game works though?
Some classes have the upper hand for a period of time until Nexon decides to nerf it and/or revamp other classes causing a shift in the "hierarchy".
Remember when Mercedes were at the top for DPS for a year or something (back in 2011-2012)? Now look, they suck ass in all aspects except for the enjoyability of the class.
DrK's definately have it difficult. I wish you luck, Mr. #2. I always loved Drk's even if I never played one before.
DrK has always been #1 so I hope it stays that way.
Which classes 1 hit the entire map constantly? :S
When I lag or there is server lag, my evo spawn still sucks.
What do you mean "once per 13 seconds". I don't remember it being that slow.
god forbid some classes have variety and can accomplish things easier than others.
