[Bug] Hunter Rhok'Delar quest respawn timer

[Haz59]

Reading this thread has me worried on the PvE server, at least i wont have to worry about someone attacking ME, but i still have to worry about asshats despawning the Demons.

As i have recently started to understand this is still a massive issue. We need help and badly. Its making this experience really unpleasant. I understand shortening up some respawn timers may not be as easy as it sounds but honestly we are all sitting at Burning stepps with about 10 of us only to watch someone come and despawn a demon mid fight. The problem only seems to get worse. Can a gm maybe just come sit here and spam spawn it to clear this huge backlog. Something needs to happen, we as a hunter community are begging you.

Bump!

This is seriously getting out hand and the situation is just getting worse from everyday that passes.
Nos devs, should really look into it and maybe quick fix the timers, for a short period of time.

There are constantly 10-15 people waiting for the demon in Burning steppes, for when it spawns.
The last 2 days, have it been despawned 3 times, because of mistakes or randoms comming out of nowhere and attack it..

I feel compelled to write in this forum post what I think about the respawn and despawn timers, especially on the BS demon. Sitting and watching people that have tried to do the quest for weeks on end just to not risk a despawn is absolutely ridiculous. This topic has created one of the biggest forums in terms of posts and the amount of coordination between all of the hunters up to this point has been amazing, but sitting and waiting due to the amount of despawns happening is putting strain on us all. When people despawn the demon, we are afraid they have already done it or plan to do it again in the future. This causes people to contact gms and in turn causes the gms to waste their time on having to respond to tickets about griefers on a quest mob.

The backlog is extremely bad at the burning steppes demon. We would all benefit greatly if something was to be done about this issue. Many people have spoken to GMs and heard that this issue will be discussed. Could we get some kind of update on this? Anything would be amazing if you could get rid of the backlog at this quest npc. We all suffer waiting and praying for hours to even get to see a successful kill instead of a despawn, when we could be out enjoying the game. I understand the fact that it needs to be hard to get the demons and that is partly why the original timers are still in place, but with the amount of people on this server the problem has compounded compared to what was probably a nonissue on original servers back in the day. We beg you to somehow change this process.

There's no mention about Nostalrius 7 hours despawn time which is absurd on this high non-blizzlike population.

This needs to be fixed to 3 hours, better yet, decrease it.

Any Dev that can comment on this or are we left in a shadow here?
Any Work being done or are you guys even following this problem of the Hunter community and working out something, players are getting more toxic by the hour.

Having a list of 100 Hunters not getting his quest done because of the population of the server.
Even Blizzard saw an problem with the quest later in the game and fixed it, so why do you want to keep the old script when we have a lot of things skipping Patches Like the STV Event in the ZG release.
Blizzlike server would fix the spawnrate of this quest to keep an happy community, we should not fight eachother!

Hello,

The IsVV team changes the status of the report to "New". It needs to be "Confirmed" for the developers to look at the issue. What you can do is provide all the sources you can to make the process faster for the IsVV and the developers.
Note that posting a report on the forums does not raise the awareness of the bug. Use the bugtracker for reports.

@Miuga: the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza was actually introduced in the Patch 1.7 which is the ZG patch. Please check your facts.

Best regards,
Syrah.
