First of all, thanks to all that brought back this game.
Started playing last night and had a problem in the Praetorian tutorial zone, with the second mission where we have to destroy a broken clockwork. Someone before me had killed them all so I searched the whole zone for them, when they were right beside the mission giver. Then saw 2 other players having the same problem, so told them to wait it out.
Sure, the zone isn't that big, but it made for a bad "new player" experience. Could there be code to check whether any clockwork are currently spawned and if not, spawn some? Or maybe reduce their spawn time. They are non-aggressive and, unless I'm mistaken, do not give any exp; I don't think there would be a downside to spawning them more quickly than (what it feels like) the 7-10 minute spawner they are currently on.
