raaene

Spawned at 11am est, then again at 3:30pm est

I think it may be 5 hours +/- 1 hour (4-6 hours).

I was going to tell you 2 days just to fuck with you. But as long as you're that close you might as well know its supposed to be between 4 and 6 hours now.

So instead of spawning about 45 more times on each server between now and the close of the event for 2009, now it's going to only spawn maybe 15 times? And this helps the lockdown situation how? Make it spawn every 30 minutes.

feldon where did you get those numbers, isn't this running until Nov. 9th? even with the longest time interval of 6 hours, that's 4 times a day, 12 days(after today), that is 48 more spawns of this guy.

alvarez

it was still sort of a dumb "fix" dont you think? was the issue really how often it spawned?

I think the only issue was that the gear was OP for its availability. If it was a decision between nerfing the loot or making the spawn timer longer, I think they made the right decision.

What they should have done IMO is this:

You can only attack the mob if all group members have a specific quest drop (one-time only) from the event. Once the mob dies, the item gets destroyed automatically.

I know this might not be popular with guys farming the shit out of the mob, but at least everyone would have a realistic shot at it.

I can confirm that it can take up to 6 hours, and if I had known it would have taken that long for the dumb thing to respawn I might have given up that particular camp, ugh.
