Griffin in EC

[Lazortag]

There are several issues with the Griffin(s) in EC right now. For one, several of them can be up at a time, which I'm fairly sure isn't classic, and secondly, their respawn timer seems to be the same as any other mob in the zone (6 minutes?). Just from my memory this seems very not-classic, as seeing the Griffin in EC was pretty rare.

Additionally, one of the Griffins paths around Orc 1, making it pretty much impossible for groups to hunt there. I'm not sure if this pathing is classic, but if it was, then the Griffin must have been on a longer spawn timer because people hunted at Orc 1 all the time.

You can still camp Orc 1. The griffin paths close enough to Orc 1 to see but it unlikely to aggro any group camping there unless they camping pretty far back from the camp.

I was soloing orc 1 and I'd go after random trash that would path around orc 1 (lots of people do this when camping orc 1), and I'd have to poof my own pet because it was clearly in the path of the griffin. So, strictly speaking, if you ONLY camp the orcs you'll be fine, but most orc 1 camps don't do that.

Griffins near Orc 1 add a bit of Darwinian natural selection to the newb game. It's best to have them learn to pull around/avoid red cons early in life. Those that don't get weeded out early and you won't have to group with them later.

Don't let the orc pawns or any players kill the bixies and you won't see any griffins
