What would be a better choice instead of never stop running?
@Shibari
Are orc patrols supposed to drop almost nothing?
Shibari - Today at 6:00 PM
think so
to avoid farming incentive
Derael - Today at 6:01 PM
Well, you can farm in Farportals
From my experience you can do around 30 or 40 runs at the very least
It'b be better to just limit amount of patrols, and if you kill enough they stop to appear

@Shibari
How about making them drop at least lower quality items?
Otherwise they are too annoying, not even loot to power the fortress.
Or just lower them.
Shibari - Today at 6:03 PM
I'd remove patrols entirely ideally but I settled for nerfing their movement so they're easy to avoid
Derael - Today at 6:03 PM
I mean, if their number will be limited they can drop normal loot
And there will be point in killing them
👹 - Today at 6:04 PM
@Shibari
So their speed is nerfed in 1.6?
Shibari - Today at 6:04 PM
yup
halved
👹 - Today at 6:04 PM
Joy.
Why did I not play on 1.6 from the beginning.
Derael - Today at 6:06 PM
Anyway, is my idea to limit theit number also bad?
Shibari - Today at 6:07 PM
I'd sooner remove them entirely but if they're staying making them avoidable is fine
Derael - Today at 6:07 PM
I mean, there is still no point in killing them
Shibari - Today at 6:07 PM
which is intended
Derael - Today at 6:07 PM
That's a bit counterintuitive
Shibari - Today at 6:07 PM
hence why I'd remove them
Derael - Today at 6:08 PM
well, removing them is also fine tbh
But if you limit them to 10-15 per map with normal loot it will be comparable to average dungeon floor
Shibari - Today at 6:09 PM
which would create incentive to kill them which is not a goal.
Derael - Today at 6:09 PM
Well, there are still farportals, as I mentioned before
Shibari - Today at 6:09 PM
which is not related.
Derael - Today at 6:10 PM
I mean, there is almost infinite farming location

Why not make killing patrols actually useful?
It won't break balance
Shibari - Today at 6:10 PM
because their purpose is to pose a "threat" on the world map not to drop loot.
Derael - Today at 6:10 PM
Well, they do pose a huge threat for low level characters
And they don't pose any threat for high level characters
So just like with any dangerous monster in the game, when you are strong enough to kill them, there is always incentive to do it
And when there is no reward for doing it, it's counterintuitive
Shibari - Today at 6:11 PM
they are there to be avoided not farmed.
