quit trying to change the game to suit your needs

get your epics like everyone did, camp it , sock it etc

VD spawn is perfectly normal



if the devs listened to u whiners we'd just have an npc to hail (in nexus!) to get your class epic and a full set of raid gear and lvl 80

"cuz eq is too hard"

I am done with the quest. I am not trying to change the quest to "make it easier". The OP is brought attention to this spawn because the information used to establish the current window is inaccurate. There is even implicit agreement that the information is invalid because that same information established a 2-7 day spawn time for Verina Tomb and Verina Tomb was changed. It is being requested for review because it doesn't match the information about classic mechanics.

You clearly have not read the information being presented here nor do you have anything credible to establish your claim that the spawn is "perfectly normal". So please, quit adding clutter to this thread unless you have something informational or objective to contribute.

By the way, you also seem to be a hypocrite. Here in this post, you champion the idea changing the Earth Staff drop rate to suit YOUR needs.

Bumping this to try to see if we can get it reviewed. Have everything done for mine, but still needs to be corrected to be classic.

However - VT was fixed within 1 month of the thread being started. It has been over 2 years, now, and no word. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the same era used to flush out VT's spawn time is deemed insufficient for VD because there's simply less information regarding VD's spawn.


One thing is clear, though, the initial evidence is credibly out-of-era. We do know that up until some point in 2001, players on allakhazam were repoting a 48 hour window with minor variance (~10%). For the sake of authenticity, and everyone's sanity, I feel that we should opt to go with that versus sticking with out-of-era evidence as the basis for VD.

quoting myself because it really is ridiculous.

This one.

Generally, evidence is what is needed for content changes. Followed by ability, and lastly, time to implement.

I'll try to help with the evidence portion.

posted June 20, 2001 09:02 AM I believe his spawn time is 72 hours, much like the spawn times of the other chanter epic mobs (vessel drozlin, verina tomb)If you are on an older server, chances are people are taking him down as soon as he spawns [You must be logged in to view images.

posted May 09, 2001 03:03 AM To post my experience with Vessel...., which may explain some of your problems. I play on Erollisi Marr. Patch day happened. Waited 48 hours, Logged on my level 1 iksar shaman who was camped at the Vessel loc. Nada there, waited four hours, didn't show, had to go to work. Logged back in the next day, about 70 or so hours after patch, he popped somewhere during that period.

There is a missing spawn mechanic of delayed spawn variance after a server up/down. It will need to be developed, but I have seen it mentioned repeatedly while researching. This is likely the case here, where people were trying to catch it at exact 12 hour intervals, and failing; there were a lot of references for 2-7 days as well.

I think we need to focus on removing spell fade text and making sure level 10 npcs now drop the correct cloth tunics.

If it helps, detrimental spell text and level 10 npcs dropping cloth tunics is exactly as important to me as this issue.

Fix stuff that matters. Glad we can’t charm merchants or see in the dark.

I can't, offhand, recall the last time we had a large content patch. Sometime last year?
