Animal quality node randomization

[Zentetsuken]

I agree. Also, remove pvp.

[Ozzy123]

I think it should be every full cycle of seasons, not every season switch period. Maybe every half-cycle.

That would be too long, I think the most healthy option would be having a few days to farm a hql spot if you find one, having like a month or idk how long the entire cycle is would be way too long

Yeah, I do think a month or 33 or 35 days or whatever the heck it is would be a little long, but 5 days is a little short. While I'm a no-lifer when I play, and it wouldn't impact me, I think changes like this should account for the fact that not everyone is. Maybe split it into half-cycles, like I said. Spring-summer and fall-winter, maybe, a short cycle and a longer cycle. (Quality distribution could even differ for different animals based on the cycle. Bears average higher in fall, rabbits in summer, etc.)

Idk. I do agree it should objectively be generally randomized instead of static over the course of the entire world, though I also have personal quibbles as I've always enjoyed using intel for barter.

Maybe something like 21 days, regardless of season?
Summer is 30 days but winter is 5

[terechgracz]

Randomisation just before winter could be minor incentive to keep hunting.

Oh yeah duh, the full cycle is like 47 or 50 or 53 days or something isn't it? Had my numbers fucked up. Maybe a static number like that is better, yeah, but would feel a bit too arbitrary to me if it was just completely divorced from anything diagetic, which is why I lean strongly towards tying it to seasons.

What if there was a meteorite similar mechanic / dungeon mechanic,
No server wide message obviously, but there could be blood on the ground and scratch bark or other form of indications there's a big bear den nearby with much higher than average qualities.

I do agree set spawns is unfun, especially as the only spawns I could find were "in-use" most of the world

[DDDsDD999]

Sounds shit. You still leave a monitor bot on nodes. You just need to find a new node every [time interval].

Actually good idea: Turn nodes into set values for provinces. So in Province A every bear is Q150, moose are q100, in Province B every bear is Q250, moose are q50, etc. And make peak quality more frequent.

Or just make every animal a completely random q.
