Obstacle Spawn Rate

[Mercfovia87]

I think seasonal obstacles count towards the maximum obstacle limit. I had no random obstacles spawn at all until I got rid of a few duplicated seasonal obstacles.

Yes it does. The limit is 45 obstacles, after that no more regular obstacles will spawn.

...(and Onyxia Deep Breaths more frequently)

what does that mean?

what does that mean?

It's an old reference to another game.

Recent change or has it always been this way?

[Phoenix1027]

Yes the rate of obstacles spawning on the Builder Base is slower than that of the Home Village.


(and Onyxia Deep Breaths more frequently)

Why was this changed?

[Dommersan]

The WoW reference is telling us the lower spawn rate is our imagination and not actually happening. Sure seems like it’s true though...

Are we just tinfoil hatting it?

[GherkinSavorus]

It definitely seems like the spawn rate has slowed since the last update. Seems like I used to get 3-4 obstacles per day on BB. Now only seeing 1 or 2.

Without a doubt the spawn rate in the BB has decreased. I used to have 30 obstacles (rocks, groves, lanterns, and other stuff that won't respawn) on one of my accounts. When I got to BH8 and hit 4-5 day upgrades, enough small trees, regular trees, and trunks would spawn to get me up to the 45 obstacle limit. I specifically remember the first boost after an upgrade finished would be a festivus of obstacle removal. Since then, I've reduced my retained obstacles down to 22. During the last two 5-day upgrades, I had only 6 new obstacles spawn. Not 12. Not 15. Only 6.

Among all of the above responses, there were quite a few people who independently noticed a reduction, came here to post, then found this thread. It's not our imagination.

The gauntlets been thrown down Darian! Consensus is Onyxia is on the fritz.

Seems unfair to me. I don’t get any new obstacles on my main base (I have like 60 seasonal obstacles), don’t know why they changed this without even telling us in the patch notes. Very shady.
