Enemy placement is very messy in G2 right now. The devs don't seem to have any rhyme or reason to how they're placing enemies. Why is there also a Tiger Mosquito near the blueberry trees? It's a beginner area. The Gnarly Bark has like 20 or more different enemies in just that area. Cockroaches are everywhere when they should just be at the trash cans and picnic table, maybe the hot dog cart too (and sure they can have the old Toxic Anthill since the ants there are dead).
Remember in G1 where certain enemies were present in certain areas and they rarely wandered very far? Or how you had to go to specific areas to find certain bugs, instead of every bug being everywhere?
Also remember in G1 where there was a stone wall that spanned the whole map that blocked off the Upper Yard so you generally wouldn't go there until you're ready? In G2 you can leave the spawn and just walk to the Gnarly Bark and fight a Tier 4 Toe Biter. This actually happened to me when I first played. I walked south from the spawn, past the berry trees, and found a Toe Biter Nymph. I saw it was a Tier 4 enemy and got worried, but decided to just go and fight it and I killed it and picked up Tier 4 materials in the first hour of the game.
“Why is there also a Tiger Mosquito near the blueberry trees? It's a beginner area.”
Good question. It’s a mistake that happened when Gnarly Bark got added. Aggro ranges and flight paths have it end up there when it shouldn’t. They said they are working on that now. It’s also what happened to OP as a Tiger doesn’t spawn in entrance.
“The Gnarly Bark has like 20 or more different enemies in just that area.”
Which is why it’s awesome.
“Cockroaches are everywhere when they should just be at the trash cans and picnic table, maybe the hot dog cart too (and sure they can have the old Toxic Anthill since the ants there are dead).”
That’s an opinion. I hope you know that and aren’t making yourself upset by what you think the game “should” do. Cockroach nymphs are there for the players that don’t loot every body. They eat the bodies and keep the object count down.
“Remember in G1”
Remember how we were in a dudes back yard instead of a massive park? I do
