Respawn rates are absolutely ridiculous

[Dio]

As above... Will it remain like this? Some bosses respawn within the minute.

[Whizzurd]

Right? One mob, would instantly respawn once killed. That Pastor Wilshem guy.

Another mob I needed, was killed as soon as I got to it. Literally felt like 15 mins, which is actually a pretty long time just standing there waiting around to kill 1 dude, and not to mention when you turn in the quest, there is a REALLY HIGH CHANCE that you’re just going to get sent back out to the exact same area 3 more times exactly in a row. Lmfao.

yea thqats werid wasnt like this in the betas

That stupid grizzly bear in the den that you need to skin, which respawns like once every 10 minutes or so. Sucks if someone comes and just steals it. And yes then there are bosses that respawn literally the second they die so you can't even open the chest next to them. It's really stupid. Why not just make these type of mobs respawn within maybe 30 seconds or maybe within 1 minute after they die? It makes no sense with a 10 minute respawn timer, it's not like they drop anything of value that could be abused.

Probably, Amazon apparently doesn't have many people working there with MMO knowledge. They pulled a classic insta respawn due to too many players killing things. So people used that to level hardcore. So they swung the respawn rate back the other way as a knee jerk reaction.

Hackers Haven is RIDICULOUS. The mobs respawn in a second and aggro from 4 miles away.

The thing that's bugging me is not getting credit for killing the boss mobs. The First Mate and Crocodile I killed like 20 times before I got credit

Took twice for The First Mate and once for the Croc. It was quiet around those mobs at the time.

But the more players attacking such, the less chance of the majority registering a kill.

I remember in ESO it was done a lot better.

Some people always exploit Lodestone grizzly bear.
I had a mission on that area, Lo and behold 10 bears at once with one spawning after one dies.

[Realight]

Yeah. From what I've learned today. when there's a lot of people trying to kill X boss/elite. Based on the amount of players, the spawn rate will hasten, to get everyone to kill their monster... But this leads to people grouping up and staying there to farm the thing indefinitely... thus exploiting a mechanic that should've helped people complete their mission.

But it's literally entirely different from mob to mob. Some of these boss mobs have 5-10 minute respawn timers, while others respawn literally the moment they are killed. Seen it today, that one huge quest boss that is in a church respawns the same second it's killed. There are also some quest areas where normal mobs respawn insanely fast. Like you can pull 6-8 mobs and mow them down and 20 seconds later later they all respawn, while in other areas they take forever to respawn. Especially that overseer zane or what he is called and that grizzly bear take like 5-10 minutes inbetween respawns.

Amazon calls this an XP exploit my children ... you are being weatched ... ugh. Oh and they are fixing that what no more group xp ? Heh who knows

[Viper]

there pretty fast. If you stand around to long the monster you just killed is going to respawn and you will have to fight it again. So difficult areas can be a pain if you don't keep moving.
