I think that part of the player frustration is that we don't understand why skain, Protus or gelly spawn rates and difficulty can be changed with a simple Monday morning type update and why snorri can not.

Changing spawn times is an easy selection using only requiring us to change a value in the data base and running a script.

Editing drop rates is a whole different ball game, many of the mobs drop rates get read from database files that require heavy amounts of editing and balancing to get correct.

We also would not want to rush a change while the team are busy working on future content as we are dealing with database files from a live mmo, a lot can go wrong and we would not wish to disrupt your time in Dal Riata.

Gelebrons changes were made due to the Arcane Sanctum being the most recent update.

We had initially planned changes for Snorri previously but decided against them due to player feedback.

Upon further review we have decided to re examine the bottleneck and have planned changes.

Thanks for the feedback!

Muldar...im not even an end-game player but I have been around a while. It is absolutely ridiculous to say that what the players said about snorri changed OTM's mind about changing his spawn rate. I'm sorry but as long as I can remember people have been going on and on about the snorri issue. Either OTM completely ignored all those people for years and just focused on the one or two people who possibly disagreed, or they literally don't read the feedback forums at all.

Design informed me it was end game players who provided the feedback, the change was implemented in a beta and the feedback provided within that beta so not all may have saw.

That being said we have decided to re evaluate the Snorri bottleneck and plan to implement changes.
