Dragon Necropolis Traps Don't Seem to Reset

[Raev]

So I have been running around in this zone a bit and all the traps make it really fun. But I noticed that none of the spawned NPCs seem to reset. Research seems to indicate the beetles at least should despawn in 30s. I would suggest that the constructs despawn in 27 minutes (the normal reset time for the trap).

Also, the traps are supposed to move! So it won't be possible to just memorize locations and run around while invis. Maybe they do already, but I was unable to check because the beta buff Rogue, being a scrub from the Red server, did not practice these skills.

Finally, I saw a the name plate of 'Vaniki PH' in front of Vilefang's lair.

OTOH:

I don't think there is a trap in his lair currently. That could be quite interesting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] His Alla page backs this up:

Web Pages have stated that once they are disarmed, they are out of commission for 30 seconds, but we found it to be a little longer than that. Maybe each trap has its own unique properties *shrug*

im tooling around in there today and the two construct traps didnt trigger, but i see multiple sets of swarming beetles in various locations around the zone. when we did get the the chetari tunnels the beetle trap swarmed on top of itself i guess and we ended up with 3 triggers worth of beetles to deal with. i also noticed when i came through a month or two ago that the trap mobs never wipe aggro unless you die or zone, although this might be intentional and does make it pretty challenging.

These traps, it seems, once triggered do not despawn until they are killed.

[kanras]

My research indicated the beetles/constructs corpse camp and don't despawn.

The traps do move.

Vaniki_PH should be fixed.

The Dragon Constructs don't return to their trigger site and i'm certain they don't despawn after 28 minutes. On Live, a group spawned a construct and wiped it at the zone in, and it sure as fuck took longer than 28 minutes for us to get out there and help them CR.
