Clearing out some items...

[Faqop]

I just noticed on the objects list there a few things out of whack.

http://www2.uovalor.com/objects.txt

Basically there are few items and creatures that there are a ridiculous amount of. I was wondering what you thought of removing these at server restart time. For example wipe out all nymphs.

Nymphs make up over 50% of the mobiles on the server!

There are 17305 oak nymphs, 14680 ash nymphs, 9382 Yew Nymphs, 5932 Blood Wood Nymphs, 3788 Heartwood Nymphs, 2094 Poison Ivy's, and 2037s Frostwood Nymphs.

Also there are 156362 or 17.05% of all items which are smoke bombs... I have no idea why there are so many, but if there were a way to wipe ones that aren't in player's banks houses or backpacks, it might be nice.



Just thinking for the future, cause if nymphs are already taking over the world....

it seems like the nymphs might be in the trees? I do alot of gathering and those numbers would take forever for me to get to but counting the number of trees in the world I would kinda expect alot of nymphs. I dunno whats up with the poison ivy, I seen em alll over in some spots. What is that about? do they split like the faylern?

i could be wrong but im guessing..


A large portion of colored wood nymphs are from people using scripted lumber jackers equipped with reapers.

I have a speculation on the smoke bombs as well, but Im going to keep it to myself for the time being. I agree, just remove the smokebomb item all together. Because of the 55 Elite Ninjas on the server if each one had 5 smoke bombs that still would only account for .018% of the total number.

I recommend this thread get moved to the dev forum.

We appreciate the concern as we frequently check that list for oddities ourselves. The reason there are so many nymphs is due to a spawn problem we are currently looking into. The nymphs end up stuck on the internal map instead of spawning next to the player who summons them. We are looking for the best solution to overcome this problem.

Smoke bombs are easier to fix up as they are likely spawned during mobile creation instead of on mobile death. I'm wagering it's the fault of the dark elves who used ninjitsu during the Christmas event as they are probably still lingering around (They have a bunch of smoke bombs in their bags). There are other stealth skill characters that follow the same idea, such as elite ninjas and thieves. Either that or it could be another issue such as the "excessive bandage" one we fixed a while back.

Glad you enjoy it. we do our best.

And yeah the nymph thing is an odd bug, i sometimes go and manually clear them but we'll want to fix it.
