How is the simulated patch respawn supposed to work?

[Droog007]

I've heard that the respawn timers are not reset with one of these simulated patches, but rather they get delayed - presumably by however long the mob remains alive (suspended).

I was also under the impression that the repops would only include the raid mobs that are covered in the raid policy, but that does not appear to be true.

I was at frog king in LGuk when the repop happened, and the PH for the freshly killed king appeared within a couple minutes. No raid mobs in this zone... I was planning on being in Tranix's throne room for his next respawn, but it seems to have been reset. e.g. won't spawn again til 8 hours after the Nagafen crew came through.

I'm guessing perhaps it's a server wide respawn, with possibly some way to preserve the running timers on the raid mobs? Everything else just gets a new timer...

Any other observations? Working as intended?
