Raster

[Skuc]

Raster spawned for me just long enough to engage, then poofed.
i was waiting for the 5am (game time) spawn, I waited until 7am (game time), and went to pour coffee (30 secs maybe); when I got back, he was standing there. I took a selfie with him, then engaged...he poofed within about 10 secs after that.
I checked game time again before petitioning, sure enough, it was 8am (game time) ...His despawn time, according to web.
My theory is: he spawned under the world, then warped up at the last minute. /shrug

Well at least you didn't get the 20+ froglocks spawning at the same time on his location like I did when I camped him on my monk.

Or a desync that lasted 14 mins? I was in sneak mode to get my screenie before engaging... Spitballin, but hate to think it could happen consistently, so..

You come back from getting coffee and decided to take a selfie with him? He then despawns when he is suppose to and you want something in return?
Dont go afk before spawn is coming up and dont take a selfie next time....

Never asked for anything. Why peeps gotta judge your character when you're just trying to help. smh

Hahahaahah - nice pic!

I had this happen to me while fighting a PH, engaged mob, then at like 20% he despawned - not sure what I would have done if it happened during an actual Raster pop...

Indeed, Tekilya. Was the only reason I petitioned, I was short on time and couldn't believe it happened. Got the Idol that same night tho, truly it's not the same hell-camp it was on live.

Only the despawn time is static. You were probably going by Bodi's guide or similar in regards to Raster?

What his method does is maximize the number of PHs that spawn within a game-day. If you were late in killing the previous PH, you can definitely make the next PH or Raster spawn very close or at the static despawn time.

I know this because the exact thing happened to me. I camped Raster 22 hours straight, then had some trouble one cycle getting the previous PH killed in a reasonable time. Raster ended up spawning for me very late 7AM game time, I engaged and he poofed a few seconds later when game-time hit 8AM.

Sucks, but...

It's classic.

No actually, my 5am game time spawn idea was from simple observation =)
