Shadowland Elites- Catacomb Bottleneck

[Traderjill]

A post I made 2 months ago regarding the SL elite dailies after seeing them on Test:
http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...0&postcount=60 The thread (Friday w/Means) was closed but no response given on this concern so.......

Now that these are actually on Live let me ask.. what exactly is the spawn timer on Shadowlands Catacomb bosses?

In the 17.4 update the respawn time of the bosses in Scheol was reduced to 1hour.. I'm not clear as to whether or not this applies to the other zones with Catacombs as well.

Even so, if the respawn time is 1 hour.. that is about 40min longer than it should be when you have elite dailies relying on these mobs being killed.

Please greatly reduce the respawn timer on the catacomb bosses in all zones.

i could see this coming, as if catacombs didn't have it bad enough as it is.

So any comment from Funcom on this?

back in the days i always resetted the instance by logging out (the mustn't be anyone in the instance). i can't remember exactly how long but i think it was around 30 minutes. i did this because the regular respawn was very..veeeerry long

cata respawn in 20 min *if* noone is inside.

20 min only if no one is inside is a big problem.. especially since you'll have people (probably) running through to do their daily.. finding the mobs aren't up and then running out..in the interim someone else can run through and do the same.

Any idea of the respawn if someone is inside?

Same as temple bosses 90mins except for scheol's iirc they were reduced to 30 cause of the scheol quests

I've farmed some inf catas once, and if I logged out for about 12 minutes, they were back up again. This was RK1 tho, and I heard rumors that the different servers have different spawn time behavior in temple/catas.

Or people just not being aware of the "log out to reset dungeon" thing and consequently going AFK while parked by a spawn spot. Then the dungeon doesn't reset. :\

It's 20 mins if empty and 2 hours if not empty.

It's less than 20, i usually log, set timer for 12, and when i log back in they're up.

I actually tried doing this.. the problem being that someone else came into the dungeon while i was logged out.
