Found an issue with this which is Fixed, pending update.


Let me know how the Raster spawn works after next patch.

This was happening in permafrost too, particularly at the jailer/alchemist camps from what I saw.

I also noticed this with the goblin jailmaster and the other two mobs in his room in Permafrost. Instead of one mob spawning at each of the three spawn points there are now two mobs per spawn point.

This is how it appears on eqmac and eqlive. I added them because it appeared they were missing. Dunno.

The problem I fixed for next patch was specifically involving Raster's perl script and frogs.

this fix would have been sweet before i spent 50 hours camping raster ><

in my experience of many many sessions one 12+ hours and another 26+ hours i observed not only the double/multiple spawn at 10am but sometimes on the 7pm and 5am spawns there would be nothing at all. no raster no PH. sometimes the 8am spawn wouldnt despawn, then the 10am will which caused the mulitples. and also noticed if you kill the 5am spawn at any time before or after 8am youll still get the 10am.
in short..it sucked. sort of glad? though to find there was an actual bug and i wasnt just losing my mind watching the walls move in lguk.

Any issues since last patch? This should hopefully be fixed.

I've put in 45 hours in the last week camping raster, the cycle seems to be working fine, assuming he acutally exsists becuase I haven't seen him. I've been keeping track since the camp is so well known to be a long one, but I did not expect it to last over 100 plaeholders considering hes rumored to be a 5% spawnrate. I'm no math-e-ma-tician but I should have seen him 5 times by now.

From what I've seen (And id consider myself a bit of an expert by now) its a normal 28min spawn and if the spawn is dead before 8am or has a chance to despawn at 8am a placeholder will spawn at 10am.
