NPC Spawn Issue: What was Classic Variance!

[Detoxx]

Here's our chance to get this done! Post all the proof you can to prove what variance was on live. +/-1 hour? +/-2 hours? None at all?

Research away!!

Ignore all posts past 10/26/2001

As far as that post goes though it's all over the place with how much variance there was at the time.

Should just maintain a 16 hour Variance, reducing Variance won't solve any of the real issues that exist on P99.

It would solve the real issue of people having to sit there for 16 hours with no significant disbenefit.

Varied mob to mob. Some went a full spawn cycle before popping for the first time after a server reset.

Lets update...



All spawns over 12 hours have a +/- 10-20% to their spawn time. This was added long ago, when the first guild were farming Naggy and casters were farming Hadden to the second.



Mob, Level, spawn time, respawn time, zone



Spawn time is how long after the server resets before the mob spawns.

Respawn time is how long after death before the mob respawns.

** - Lodi has a really weird spawn pattern. He tends to spawn every 16-20 hours, but he can skip spawns. But I've never heard of him skipping 3 spawns in a row.



*** - When you kill Maestro, a weak version of the Hand of Maestro will spawn where you killed Maestro. Then 12 hours after you kill that Hand of Maestro, another Hand of Maestro will respawn in the Maestos spot, and this one is as hard as normal Maestro. The Hand will continue to respawn until Maestro spawns again. Or something like that...



**** - I'm not sure if Draco respawns on his own, or only when CT respawns the zone when he spawns.

Interesting

10-20% variance would mean we already have the low end on 7 day spawns

[Freakish]

So red needs fixed?

[khanable]

Er, +\- 10-20% would be approx +\- 17-34 hours, so we're operating at half of the low end (+\- 8)

Lol wtf
