Cobalt deposits are too rare #4307

Open BarbzYHOOL opened 3 years ago

BarbzYHOOL commented 3 years ago
CURRENT BEHAVIOUR:

I went through all of zul'drak and found somewhere around 4-5 cobalt, and not even one rich node

Cobalt deposits are so rare you can barely find 3-4 in a whole zone

These have been reported to me

EXPECTED BLIZZLIKE BEHAVIOUR:

More ores to mine

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
  1. Go to one of these spots https://www.wowhead.com/object=189978/cobalt-deposit I suppose
  2. Expect more?
EXTRA NOTES:

I am not sure if this issue is valid but Voxstrasza confirmed that there are too little veins I don't know if it affects other ores, maybe other people can elaborate on this issue.

Here is a simple method to fix zone by zone, but how precise it is? No idea. https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/1857#issuecomment-496941534

it's a problem on most big servers (a large chunk being ran on TC) where cobalt ore becomes the most rare ore due to scarcity in the world

This object can be found in Zul'Drak  (221), Howling Fjord  (179), Borean Tundra  (168), Dragonblight  (147), Grizzly Hills  (123), Utgarde Keep , The Storm Peaks  (16), and Crystalsong Forest  (11).

Proposed solution:

User data addons such as Gatherer from 3.3.5 sound like the solution. Enable GM Fly, mod speed 20, and go to every gatherer node, and if there isn't a vein spawn the vein with .gobject add.

Then afterwards export the DB of herbs/ore nodes as an SQL.

It'll be a bit of a pain but it's the solution to all missing veins/missing herbs problems we have in most zones.

Well you still need to pool them because there is no way they should all be spawned at the same time.

Any idea on the complete solution to this?

BarbzYHOOL commented 3 years ago

Is it happening on recent TC too?

Turns out I'm pretty much doing what was suggested here for some other zones... Bloodmyst Isle to be specific.

I just automated the visiting of spots marked in Gathermate... And then I try not to place $object too close to other similar ones and also stuff like mineral veins should not appear on flat ground... some herbs are usually found under trees, stranglekelp is in the water etc..

Some funky stuff for the pools do seem to happen - like only 20/30 herbs have appeared, 28/30 minerals and 9 or 10/10 treasures. Yes counting this shit is boring and also semi-automated... And minerals and treasures could be me unable to count. But I do wonder about the lack of herbs... Did I hit some sort of cap for a zone?

But the same stuff I did for Bloodmyst is fairly trivial to do for other zones as well.
