NPC Spawn Issue: Ancient Croc Camp Bugged...

[Rivewin]

In Live the saltwater crocs that spawned as PHs for the Ancient Croc in Upper Guk were NOT social. They are KOS but they have never and still aren't social on Live. I remember doing this camp on my druid back in the day easily with my 27 druid and never did I pull more than one croc at a time.

This should be fixed as it makes the camp severely more difficult unless you are a high level farming it for cash. This was excellent XP on live and is where I always leveled my casters from 27-33. When I went there on this server I immediately got crushed due to the bug of having the crocs be social.

Fix please, and thank you.

Weren't there more crocs too?

[Finawin]

Nah, room always had only 3.

[Cykubis]

I could have sworn I've seen as many as 5 at that camp on live, but not every time. Always seemed really strange, I've only camped it a couple times though, so I don't really know the specifics behind it.

From memory:
The spawn timer starts when all the mobs are dead.
Two to 6 mobs could spawn at the AC location, any one of which (but only one per spawn) could be the AC.
I seem to remember something about the PH mobs; I think they were NOT social, but the AC was. Something to that effect..

No proof, no real interest, but this is what I remember.

This is correct, except it's 1 - 5 crocs from my memory. (I remember it sucked when only 1 spawned because it meant almost no exp that round)

They spawned in a / like diagonal formation, AC would always spawn alone in the middle spot and was aggressive

They would all spawn at once, timer started when last was one was killed. Only reason I never said anything about this was because it really doesn't matter much and it will likely be hard to fix/script the spawn times together

not that hard of a script to make.. the hardest part is getting specifics for it.

if someone wants to get locs and what *exactly* is supposed to happen, it won't take long to fix it with perl.

I remember pretty clearly that there were always 3 crocodiles in the room, and a walker from the "shoreline" to the entrance to the hallway leading in.

That never happened on Torvonnilous between kunark and pop.

As far as getting specifics.. meh. Too hard to research this old shit lol, people should have kept better records!! :P

Ancient croc is aggressive but has a fairly low agro range

All crocs face west

All saltwater crocs are non-agro or have an extremely low agro range

respawn time is 15 minutes after the last croc in the set dies

May need to be adjusted slightly, I can't see the crocs but it should be pretty accurate
