NPC Spawn Issue: ClassicQuest That Matters - The Case For a Smaller Vessel Drozlin Window

[Jorgam]

Bump!

We need help on this one. VD camp is ready for review.

It should be noted that the original source for determining the 2-7 day window for both VT and VD, which was successfully refuted for VT but not yet VD, states that neither respawn on server reset?

What is the difference between the refutation from the Verina one vs the Vessel one?

Read the OP for link to the VT thread for yourself to check me but basically, people wrote more definitively about the VT spawn window than VD which is spurious at best. Some classic posts even directly state VT being a 48 hour spawn which is overwhelmingly unlikely to have been true in-era and certainly not the case on P99.

To me, the most compelling argument is that the evidence used to establish a 2-7 day spawn in the first place has been shown to be out-of-era. There might exist less evidence for VD than for VT to affirm a 2-4 day spawn, but the evidence used the assert the current spawn window is almost certainly not accurate.

This has got to be the most disheartening epic camp I have ever done, been almost a year now and since I have a job I can almost never get this mob. Please change it!!!!!

Bump - can we please review this?

Summary:

1. There exists no compelling classic evidence that the window should be more than 48 hours (48 to 96 hours after last death)

1a. The evidence that existed to originally establish the 120 hour window was from a site that reference post-era information. The staff also changed the VT window and this, in some sense, confirms that this evidence was invalid all along.

2. All the evidence that exists in-era seems to indicate a 48 hour window.

Probably good to get this fixed before green launches epics to save on some headaches with petitions. Please review for classic if possible.

Server is supposed to be classic but you don't want classic? Sounds like you need to try a different server.

Sorry friend, not quite sure what you're trying to say?

Bumping this to try to see if we can get it reviewed. Have everything done for mine, but still needs to be corrected to be classic.
