Raster spawn still weird. Sometimes PH still just doesn't respawn after being killed. This morning when I got to camp there were two PH on the spawn point. 30PH kills no raster today.

Is this being looked into at all can we confirm that he is actually spawning, spawn seems really messed up and havent seen a spawn in 2 days

I have put well over 12 hours this week, 3-4 hour sessions.

I have had the double spawn on spawn point. (3 including the mino that paths up to the spot). I really think that this need to be looked into. Have also killed the mob before 8 am despawn time and still had a respawn at 10 am game time...

I got it yesterday as well, so its spawning. The spawn is messed up though.

What do you mean by messed up?

I mean at times there are multiple placeholders up at the same time, especially if nobody has been clearing. At other times its just the normal one PH.

Unfortunately the additional checks put in last patch still didn't resolve the issue.

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.

Ah ok, my bad. I guess doing Perma too much on P99 has corrupted my memory of the original zone.

This issue is still occuring.

twice now I've killed the PH at 10am and had zero spawns until 10am the following in game day.

Just now I've had a 7pm spawn, but no 5am spawn before despawn.

This camp is hellish enough without an issue such as this.

I am seeing this same issue, I have spent well over 30 hours at this camp with no pop..

One session was over 12 hours and another was 8 hour still nothing.. But I sure have a lot of ebony blades and azure sleeves!

I have spent several days at this camp...
started with stacked PHs, then after the zone reset, no PHs at all.

My friend was having issues with Raster today. He popped but his spawn point continued to churn out mobs. During the fight 9 mobs spawned on his spawn point.

Went to check out raster tonight to try to snag an idol and see what my friend was talking about. The despawn respawn cycle of 8am despawn and 10am respawn seemed to be working properly. There was some really odd spawning with his actual location however. I was here about 3 hours and this is what I observed.

Camped on Rasters spawn were froglocks that continued to stack, I counted 4 froglocks all on his point, which were bound to this spawn. On top of this, the minotaur/froglock/raster cycle was running, meaning at some points there would be up to 5 mobs on one spawn point. I know for a fact there is something wrong here. It made the camp impossible to clear solo due to the sheer amount of mobs running around. Pulling minotaurs to try to clear the camp would get me up to 6 mobs which I was not able to split solo. I gave up on trying to clear everything out and simply sat there letting the 8am/10am cycle run hoping raster would pop and I could spam ooc for some assistance.

TLDR: Take a look at the raster spawn location, something is causing more mobs to spawn here than there should be.

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


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

Awesome, thanks for the update. Is monday the 11th scheduled for the next patch day? Wanted to try for the idol this weekend but if it's going to be fixed after this weekend I may just wait.

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

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.
