Game Mechanics: Venril Sathir - Respawn (April Patch)

[Daldaen]

The most simple way to think about it is its 24 hour +/-1 from either VS or VSR death.

Previously it was only from VS death.

The April change allowed more VSRs to spawn 24~ hours after other VSR deaths is all.

When VSR spawns, should it depop the spirit of vs? Should it depop fake VS?

I would guess that the Spirit of VS has some sort of despawn timer on its own (this is the one spawned when handed the firefly globe). So he shouldn't remain up for another VSR spawn. Likewise the fake VS should be long death before another VSR spawns.

The only thing that should depop, is VSR should depop if normal VS spawns.

[Man0warr]

Can't find evidence of it either way. I'd say depop it just to cut down on shenanigans.

[Man0warr]

The triggered version lasts ~20 minutes if unaggroed from what I've seen. Which means there could be a scenario where you trigger fake VS and wipe during real VS' window and he spawns.

[Daldaen]

I'd think once you trigger beyond the VSR step, into the Spirit or the fake VS, it should stay up regardless of real VS spawning.

this is great news - did you also increase the drop rate of Gnarled Staff to coincide with Dald's posted evidence?

While this is great to hear - I have one additional request if possible.

Would it be too much to ask for a text pop when the first person hands in the firefly globe to annouce who actually got the turnin? I know this might be less of an issue with more VS/VSR incoming but would be nice. Also, maybe in addition he starts rejecting people's globes after the first turn in?

As it stands now, everyone sits around spamming globes waiting for him to spawn and then lawyerquests about who actually got the turnin, while someone eventually mobilizes and goes for it, especially if there is any competition around.
