Avalanche of Rocknoses Purge Spawns way too many Avalanches

Game mode: Online private
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvE
Region: Americas


So the Avalanche of Rocknoses purge type seems to either be bugged or maybe the wiki description is not up to date?
According to the wiki you should have a 1% chance of Avalanche spawning in wave 3 (difficulty 5 or 6) but I am consistently getting upwards of 5 of them spawning on wave 3 and then even more of them spawning in the successive waves (which are supposed to only have a 0.9% chance to spawn Avalanche). This seems a touch excessive and very much out of line with the difficulty of the other purges I’ve gotten.


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Trigger an Avalanche of Rocknoses with Purge difficulty set to 6.
  2. Wait till wave 3.
  3. Watch a wall of Avalanches come lumbering towards you.

Hey @traszad

Since you mention this is happening in a private server, are there any mods installed or any server settings that have been altered?

Even without a mod the purge is somehow bugged (at least at purge level 6). I will further investigate after the patch hits, but to get an idea of the problem:

The user that made this mod to remove the rocknose purge might be on the right track of the problem.

@Ignasi I do usually use mods but I tested without mods installed and saw the same results. I have altered server settings a touch but the only relevant one I can think of is the Purge difficulty level which is set to 6.

Thanks @traszad & @Shadoza, we’ve sent note to our team about this. :slight_smile:
