Rare spawns - odo the blindwatcher?

by TheStreak » Mon Jun 22, 2015 2:36 am

Anyone found a list of the rare spawns added to the game?

I have found several but I have not seen the Deathsworn dude in SFK, nor Odo the Blindwatcher who drops the mickey stats bow in RFk.

Anyone actually seen these or found a list of rares added to game?

What do you mean a list of rares added into the game?

Any rare that was in vanilla is in here, plan and simple. They are called rare for a reason, meaning many won't ever see them.

Well I'm I am not a programmer with experience of making blizz-like vanilla wow content, are you...?

I would have presumed that a lot had to be rewritten, reintroduced, like spawn times, loot tables. locations etc etc. According to you this is automatic and just 'happens'. Based on what?

Having had a google it looked like there were other vanilla servers that:

a) didn't have some/any rares... b) the rares didn't drop the loot that they did in retail... Which suggests you are not correct.

I also found a video on youtube that appears to be produced BY Nostalrius crew that promoted this server for INCLUDING a bunch of rare mobs. These did not appear to include Odo.

Why would they produce such a video if rare spawns were just like any other?

Doesn't it make more sense to assume until it is SEEN in game it is not present based on hyping those rare spawns they HAVE got in game?

I have not seen the Deathsworn Captain and Odo nor seen in 20+ runs. They were never *that* rare.

If you had seen either you would have said, perhaps someone that has actually seen them, or has some pertinent info will come forth...

Pretty sure Odo isn't a rarespawn

nvm just re-read part of the post, you mean the bat in RFK, that's not called Odo :D

I am pretty sure in terms on code a rare spawn is no different than a normal mob.

Try not to use weasel words, if you don't know what they are look here.

How about you say which servers don't have them or have items changes; for instance Feenix I know for a fact have all rare spawns but the ones outside of instances don't drop loot and this was intentional because of the high spawn rates.

I have not seen the Deathsworn Captain and Odo nor seen in 20+ runs. They were never *that* rare.


Why are the hell are you running that place 20+ times? I'm guessing for twink stuff maybe.

Ran a SM GY yesterday. Saw a rare spawn. Killed it. No loot. Definitely working as intended (no pun intended :P)

Rare spawns are rare. Their good loot is rarer. Definitely working as intended.

It´s hilarious how all you guys claim it to be working as intended, without having checked all rare spawns, let alone the coding done to these rare spawns. Don´t comment if you have no clue about the entire picture lolz.

Try not to use weasel words. If you don't know what they are, Google it lol.

Or just don't give people crap for it when your opening statement begins with them. Can't have cake and eat it too!

Run the instance more. I've killed the Bat you're talking about in RFK - but that's because I level in dungeons as I only play with my Priest mate. We make groups instantly and then grind. It's working as intended, they are rare spawns and as they are named - would you believe that their spawn rate is actually rare?!

I know calling them rare spawns and then having them actually spawn on a rare basis is upsetting because you want the loot they have but :roll:
