NPC Spawn Issue: Stronghorn & Tantor

[InfiniteCascade]

Been killing mastadons and rhinos on/off for about a month and never seen one, is the spawn broken?

[Jeni]

I don't think a single Tantor's Tusk exists on Red despite numerous attempts to spawn the beast.

i have spawned tantor 1x and stronghorn 2x in many clears of animals in WW. not sure how many animals probably 300+ at this point. re-spawn for most of the trash seems about an hour and fifteen minutes. i have noticed that any animal(bronco,mastadon,wolf)can re-spawn into drakes,ice burrowers,wyverns. i only do it as a ranger the camp is pretty brutal, so the animals are really all i can kill solo. eventually all ice burrowers/cov mobs will spawn making it impossible to solo, not to say i haven't killed my fair share of ice burrowers and drakes just for shits.

tantor spawned heading north/south(hope that helps a tad), in between the gorges. no tusk. strong horn had horn both times.

he doesnt summon anymore correct? (Tantor)

Strong Horn in Western Wastes shouldn't summon...should have the same mechanics as Tantor:

I have also observed that it isn't necessarily a mastodon is replaced by a mastodon or other animal. Placeholders can become drakes ice burrowers etc.

Spent he better part in f he week killing animals in WW to spawn Tantor. At this point on red I see only 2 animals and my pet left in the zone. The rest are dragons, drakes and worms. I don't remember this being like this on live. Am I missing something?

[the_toecutter]

So on blue as of today there are maybe 3 animals left up in Western Wastes. I don't know if this is working as intended but as far as anecdotal evidence this isn't how I remember it from live. There were rangers and druids close to constantly killing out there and animals never got to the point where they were gone completely or even noticeably. Trying to dig up any evidence I can but it seems pretty sparse. I know for sure that velium hounds were much much more common.

I have seen some of the rarest mobs in the game more often than silly Velium hounds
