UO Second Age

REPORTED ISSUE: Treasure maps are not spawning mobs correctly while looting

ISSUE DETAILS: Did 3 t-maps last night, a 2 a 3 and a 4. On the 2 and 3 nothing (not a damn thing) spawned while looting. On the lvl 4, only 1 deamon spawned when I was almost done looting the chest. Decided to cut the t-hunting short as spawn is an important part of the loot from these.

ENVIRONMENT DETAILS: Treasure map locations

STEPS TO RECREATE: Dig up a t-map, provo spawn onto each other while looting. Some of the initial spawn were still alive wihle the looting was going on.

EXPECTED RESULTS: More spawn!!

DATE REPORTED: 7/27/10

STATUS: Closed - Fluky maps

DATE STATUS CHANGED: 7/29/10

repeatedly move an item around in the chest to spawn more mobs.

Did a bit of that, mostly moving around scrolls and regs to dig up the good stuff first...but regardless, having 1 mob spawn after cleaning out 3 chests (0 items left in each) seems a bit odd...and we're not talking lvl 1's here either.

Maybe spawn rate was affected by mistake or something.

Bump

(just so it doesn 't fall into oblivion)

Did you just pull the stuff out of the chest? Did you move things around? Maybe there is a possibility there for the correct number of monsters to spawn, they just spawn too infrequent when an item is removed?

I've done enough chest where I only removed items to know if something is not right, and this definitely did not seem right. On the last chest (the lvl 4) I moved things inside the chest quite a bit more than in the others, and all I got in return was 1 deamon. I'd write it down as a freak chest if it happened on one, but 3 in a row???

Will test further tonight (hate to waste maps like this, but for the sake of reporting this I will) to see if this was a fluke, or something that is persistent.

I tested it again last night. Spawn seemed fine.

I'll write it up as three fluky maps.

Thanks for the update. It is very random, I hope you did just have a case of some bad rolls.

I roll twenties.
