Lack of Mobs

[Xymnala]

Okay, so I am checking the game out again after maybe a half year or so hiatus, and so far I have mostly just noticed that no mobs spawn period for me, even with the creep pick on. The only mob I've even seen has been a single one of those wheel fairies. Not sure what is up, but furnacing all the drops would get pretty tedious.

There is a skill that raises the amount of spawning mobs.

[Xymnala]

Yeah, I mean I literally haven't seen a single mob in hours of play. Even with that skill at max. I've prestiged twice so far total.

[zephyr_goldwing]

not sure what's causing that for you; I'm getting mobs pretty regularly, even without the creep pickaxe; I have 7 points in mob lure (14% increase)

[Max Firestorm]

Yeah, I'm not seeing any mobs either... Only ones I see are the ones that come from pickaxe effects (meteors, etc) and the single one I summoned with Runic.

[RIP_C.Bennington#LP_Forever]

the best is to go in a biome, that does not have any special biome mob (like in Mesa, Jungle, Ocean, Moon, Mars)

[Max Firestorm]

That's kinda difficult when the mob that I want is *in* one of those biomes =p

[zephyr_goldwing]

Which one are you after? I kind of made the assumption (given the event that's on) that you were after event mobs.

[Xymnala]

I never had a single mob spawn naturally of any kind in any zone since loading the game in the course of about 2 days.

[infpgamer]

No mobs for me as well.

Even the Event-Creepers doesn't spawn for you? Or you mean the biom-specific-mobs (Thumbleweed, Ocelot, Starfish, Guardian & Asteroid)?

Event-Creepers spawns for me up to 2-3, per minute.
The other… i saw only 1 Ocelot, 1 Starfish and 1 Guardian, since the start of the event.

thank goodness - I was starting to think I'd somehow stolen everyone else's mobs xD

what +mob chance do you have (if any) from skill points/artifacts? I'm guessing from your mention of biome mobs that you're progressing and prestiging (I'm just semi-idling in The End)? Do you have the creep pickaxe equipped?

[Dornenherz]

Mob spawn chance: +48,81%
Yes, i'm on progeressing/prestiting… but in the event i'm semi-idel in The End, for several houres, too.
The half run, i use the Creeper-Pickaxe (to kill the creepers instantly…) in the end of the run i only use the Rainbow-Pickaxe (to farm picks for skill-points). It seems to be no difference in the mob spawning rate.

oh wow, that's way more than me (+14%) lol; I think the spawn chance may be less of a factor to this than I'd thought

I really hope the devs are looking into this as well; this game has grindy events, but adding a bug like this one appears to be is just...

[Dornenherz]

Unfortunatly it feels like the grind gets only worse from event to event… e.g. the skill for a higher drop rate from the mobs doesn't counts on event drops, since the harvest event… until the spooky event it did…

[Xymnala]

Forget Biome mobs, I haven't even seen creepers.
