NPC Spawn Issue: Mammoth in Surefall

Palemoon · #1 10-23-2011, 07:35 PM

post patch, Ive sat around the waterfall waiting for Mammoth to spawn at 3am (per patch notes), and he never showed.

Next 2am rolls around, and I kill the bears around the waterfall area, poachers too, and then see if Mammoth shows up at 3am with the spawns cleared. He dosent show up.

Maybe I read the patch note wrong?

p.s. I always thought some of the mobs in the bear caves would go through spawn/despawn cycles, includeing Mammoth and his PHers. Is this the case? Can't say I've noticed anything depopping on their own yet.

Looks like it works fine. Leaving it running on dev server to make sure.

He despawns after 5 minutes. Were you actively watching at exactly 3 am?

Looked into this. Apparently there is an issue with the night controller.

Fixed for next patch.

Ok I just logged in and there he was , at 9am.

I rushed at him as fast as I could to hand him the regurgitonic lol, which is a good thing because by 10 am he walked to the back pool room and despawned...

And yes earlier (last night) when camping him I was watching from 2am to 4am. and cleared spawn. (which now seems unnessesary since Mammoth was up with the poacher he shares his path with at the same time).

Still foggy on what you intend him to do. I feel dirty, murdering all those holy bears [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyways, I advise not posting "exactly" what his spawn secret/cycle is, I just wanted to let you know it may not be working right.
