Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

I thought it would be easier for me to just ask, rather than run through the server and find out myself.
I've noticed one area (the chionthar ruins), that are spawning rats when they should be spawning creatures. I spoke with another player who noticed a similar thing in the underdark with rats spawning instead of CR22 elementals.

Has anyone noticed any other areas that seem to be unnecessarily spawning rats? Please advice if so.. thanks.

Actually, I think that Farmlands area in the Baldur's gate region, the one on a northern map, with the low level bandit cave? I think it has been spawning a excess of stags rather than the usual wolves/bandits/snakes and other critters that typically skulk about up there.

Not that I'm complaining, stags rule.

The northern farmlands are now stag central. No hostile spawns in that area anymore, they have been moved to the area east of Wyrm's Crossing.

Tunnel Stags RULE!

But - thank you for clarifying, glad that isn't more work on you guys!

I visited the new ruin in the area down the Chionthar in order to visit THE CHAIR. I expect this will be a regular pilgrimage.

The goblins, worg puppies and bugbears in it were spawning, although there were not many.

Many of the side rooms had rats spawning in them though. Is this intentional or another case of rats spawning where they shouldn't?

Tfunke PM'ed me he found an issue with the spawner system and sent in a repair. I will include it in my next update.

That said, rats probably should spawn in some areas anyway.

Lol, I don't know why I added 'The Chair' when I made the area, but it was a spur of the moment thing, haha, glad to see it'll get some love.

All those rats you saw in the chionthar ruins, should have not spawned. As Duster said, he'll add the fix next update and those ruins should be spawning as they were intended.


EDIT: @Tsidkenu:
Where abouts in the underdark did you find rats spawning instead of elementals? It is possible that creature blueprint might have been removed from the server, hence the rats spawning in their place.

Hey, sorry tfunke I thought you already read my other reply.

The Underdark, East of Mist Lake (where the new earth elementals are). The Galeb Duhr and boss spawn in fine (they seem to be trigger spawns). The earth elementals and rock beasts all spawn in as rats.

No, no, no... it's THE CHAIR, kleomenes. C'mon! Purple, sheeeesh. The few times I've been there I did see the bugbears, but no worg puppies. Just rats, and lots of them.

For the record, my character sat in THE CHAIR the moment I saw it. Couldn't resist. Imagine my disappointment when I was not granted vorpal elf limbs as weapons, or insta-fugue'd when I sat in it ... but still *thumbs up* at how cool it looks when you're stealth'd and sitting in it! All in all, this is a very cool low level dungeon, I like it way more than the Hilltop ruins. And I admit, I jumped a little the first time I walked up to the front door
