NPC Spawn Issue: Named Cycle #1 in Frontier Mountains

[Rieve]

I have been killing the named cycles in frontier mountains since about noon cst today. Starting a few hours ago the #1 cycle containing the goblins (SE), Giants (SW) and Burynai (NW) are no longer spawning however the other cycle is working just fine.

Haven't heard anything else about this after our last fix.

Still an issue?

Is what's happening on cycle #1 a goblin seer is spawning in the SE corner as a ph that is bugging cycle 1 a goblin seer shouldn't be part of the named cycle ,after he spawns cycle 1 is bugged till a server or zone reset .

I can confirm this happened today. I was running the cycle and pulled Dustback from the NW to the SE corner. I killed Dustback and the Seer Spawned. After the seer was killed, there was no SW spawn. Currently the cycle is broken.

Confirming that seer ends the first cycle.

Every time I've had someone petition about this being 'bugged' and looked into it, it wasn't stuck on anything but a commonly named mob. Not every mob on the cycle has a unique name.

in other words, slaughter all the roamers in the area before ur guy moves too far!

Last 2 server restarts, and the cycle has lasted less than 12 hours before it gets bugged. It is bugged right now.

Everyone doing it right will usually bring one corner's mob to the next corner mob spawn location and track/tag the next ph/named soon as previous one died. You can literally "see" it spawn; so no, it does not wander far.
The seer doesn't trigger anything. Or at least doesn't make anything spawn in the usual place, not even one of those commonly named ph's.

Confirming the cycle breakage. When goblin seer spawns in the SE quadrant, this marks the end of cycle #1. Killing the seer does not result in new giant-type spawn in the SW quadrant and therefore the cycle no longer functions. I caught Uthgaard available and invited him to pop into FM and witness the seer's death in order to confirm the borkedness.

Edit: Perhaps the mob name was a goblin seer ; I don't specifically recall if the name included the article. Mobs drops a 1-charge Potion of Insight if that helps to isolate the mob's true name.
