Dain still spawning on Ring War fail

Not classic - should only be spawnable by the later Shawl quests.

Proof?

Won't find any evidence either way. If Dain popped on a ring war failure you'd think it be mentioned somewhere on the internet.

It doesn't make sense for him to spawn on a failure - otherwise people would have been failing them on purpose just for Dains. Which is an easy way to grief Thurgadin bankers/quest givers/merchants/etc and you lose nothing by failing.

This isn't an easy fix due to the systems in place to completely depop/repop thurgadin.

We're working on a solution.

People didn't grind as hard as they do on P99 for killing raid mobs.

Sentry should be a 3-day respawn, so its not farm, you're getting double the dain pops, not that incredible.

I'll get on live now and kill Dain if he is up, if not I will spawn war and see if he respawns on death.

Sentry is currently a 1 day spawn, not 3. If that is wrong, need evidence etc.

Since this is just a 'My thoughts' thread. I don't mind giving mine.

Dain's repop is classic. Where's the proof that it's not. NOW, if staff wants to change that, then OK.

So I went and killed Dain on live (he didn't drop any spells which I found odd), and then I went outside to fail a ring war... Sentry Baddain wasn't up.

I'll check again tonight and see what the deal is with failing a ring war.

This is an unfair assessment. Live does not equal P99. If going off memory I can tell you that I recall people attempting ring war during classic, then trying again a couple hours later. There was one weekend in particular where there were 4 or more Ring Wars on Saturday and Sunday.

However...I do not recall whether Dain respawned or not.

I didn't assess anything yet? Or do you mean to suggest Live isn't useful for determining any mechanics?
