I’ve played AO for a long time, since it’s beggining, and there’s this pressing issue that has NEVER been fixed, and it’s rivals. There can only be one rival at a time in a server, and i never understood why, is it a bug? I can’t keep up with other people stealing MY RIVAL which i need to get treasure charts.
It’s definitely not an issue about the mini boss criminals since as i’ve mentioned, the issue has been here since forever, in fact it was made worse by said mini boss criminals.
Because they take up a spawn slot which doesn’t mean anything at all but I’m trying to answer your question anyway.
For charts killing gravy majors works just as effectivly if not better (multiple ships can gank you)
As long as you’re in a bounty file sure, but let’s say we have a fame player, there isn’t a slot for a rival to spawn because it’s taken up by other low level criminals or bosses. How is he supposed to get charts? (Assuming he doesn’t have level 9 in charting). He basically can’t other than through chests (if he wants high quality, he should look for rare, mystic even)
So what is holding back Vetex or the game to adding more criminal slots in the bounty board, there’s plenty of space.
Island spots. There are only so many— and they need to be split between those NPCs + it would be slightly weird if they were all always filled with an NPC.
I am pretty sure rivals can always spawn and it drops chart no matter whoose rival you defeat
Right but sometimes they don’t even spawn
Well then I bet game is bugged since rival npcs are supposed to spawn, just try to execute few criminals to free up the space
there’s another bug about rivals where even if i keep executing my current rival then meeting a new one, they just won’t spawn… That started happening ever since I executed my original one
