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

Any plan to revise spawn systm?

when we get group of 4+ people and npcs come piecemeal 1-4 against fully buffed up group that's not challenge even if npcs are slightly higher level. Could we get spawns of entire squads that would contain also perhaps a buffing npc? Plus one could be something like squad leader with better stats

(Not used on random animals along road of course)

I know other servers have whats called a "hardcore mode" which increases the amount of spawns by a large margin making it more challanging for groups that head into dungeons. Players usually type i -hardcore to enable the feature. I think this would be a great addition in the future as it can turn a solo dungeon with zero challenge to a group dungeon that can be dangerous and it requires no Dm oversight to do it.

I see I'm not the only one who liked that mechanic on other servers...

There's been talk of doing this sort of thing for a while, but if there's any concrete plans yet, I'm not aware of them. It's a pretty big undertaking, even to convert a single map to that sort of system; we don't have the infrastructure to support it, and the conversions themselves would take a decent chunk of time.

(I would say it'd make a great way for me to learn how the toolset works, except I seem to have roped myself into another round of language overhauls. )

Valefort has just given us DMs a new tool which I have been testing in a few zones. It gives us the ability to switch out which blueprints are used for spawning in that zone, set for x hours (and thus up to days, through resets and all!).

So it's likely you'll all start running into things you don't expect!
