Daoc Friday Grab Bag Live

As usual, Mythic staff collected some Q&A as a weekly garb bag for the player in the official site.Below is a snippet:

Q: Why don‘t you have a Roundtable Roadtrip stop in Atlanta/Toronto/Portland/North Dakota?

A: Whoa, got a lot of these. When we planned the schedule, we had to take a lot of things into account. Site availability, our commitments, and our development schedule are but three of the many variables.

I especially regret not being able to get to Atlanta. I love that city and was very disappointed when we had to cancel last year. I thought for sure we‘d be able to reschedule, but it was not to be.

As a side note, if a group of players puts on a gathering of their own, the event planner should email the Herald team with the date, location, and number of attendees. You can request that Mythic send someone (or at least some loot) to your event, and we love to come out if we can.

Q: I have a question about a certain mob that never has a camp bonus.� This mob is the "venomous spores" that live (for a short time, anyway) out in Cothrom Gorge of Hibernia‘s Shrouded Isles.� Is the reason they don‘t have a camp bonus because of the way they spawn, i.e., from the little sporelings that float down from the trees, "settle into the ground", and then respawn as the venomous spores?�

A: Encounter Man Rob replied: "Your first theory about how they spawn is correct. Monsters that spawn naturally in the world will usually gain a camp bonus. Monsters that spawn through alternative methods such as through another monster or some other forced trigger won‘t gain the camp bonus."

For new players - the "camp" bonus grows as monsters sit unkilled in the world. Monsters respawning in a rarely hunted area gradually lose their bonus the longer they are camped.

For the player who sent this question: Your feedback about the drop rate on these creatures has been passed on.
