World boss spawns

So I have heard that earlier today world bosses spawned out of their usual times. Can anyone confirm that they did. I am guessing the spawn times have changed in the last update unless there was a reset that I missed?

    Except there's no incentive to do the instances lol; nothing beyond the weeklies.

    More important than instances, devs need to make something worthwhile on the open map. Fac killed sword tamer today as he spawned. That was a little bit fun. Make more farmable/rewarding to kill bosses on the map please.

    This was posted about someone killing a world boss on Dreamweaver, I killed this boss straight after reset and would normally expect it to respawn in 2 more days. I also spoke to a faction mate that said there were squads being formed to kill them earlier so was wondering if anyone could confirm this as I wasn't on at the time.

    What boss was it?

    There was a lot fewer WB hunting squads cause of the late maint and vaccations, so maybe a boss wasn't killed at usually maint time..

    I didn't check bosses after I killed the ones in old HT.
    I was 40 mins late to kill because of work, so I assumed they were all dead :p

    He said Sword Tamer, and he said he killed it straight after maint so it wasn't left over. All the bosses except on the main map were killed right after maint, as soon as we could get to them anyway. So, I am still wondering about the respawn times on these as well as the mini bosses because those don't seem to be the normal times either. I'm wondering if the times got switched around somehow. Hope someone else sees this and will answer with more info as I bump it up.

    I was in a squad that killed a dozen WB after maintenance one after the other. When I checked this morning, I heard one boss had been killed and no sight of the rest, then shadow doll appeared and that was the last boss I heard that spawned. We had a dozen people camping the spawn sites at the 96 hour mark and Shadow Doll was the only one I heard someone see spawn. The boss that had been sited and killed before I logged, had been seen 20 min before the 96 hours mark. So the boss was there at least 20 min before the estimated respawn of 96 hours. The rest of the bosses like I said, never respawned at the 96 hour mark, except Shadow Doll which respawned close to its expected time.

    Didn't go that way today. Today is [Sunday.] Bosses didn't check in at same time they were killed [Wednesday.] At least it didn't happen this week on Raging Tides server the way in which you describe it .

    this was not even fully correct before this weeks update, and it is not correct currently, very few bosses followed the previous model

    Almost correct, most had a spawn time of 96 hours with some being an hour earlier and some a little later. The problem with this is that if you learnt the spawn times of each boss you could hold a monopoloy on these each week.

    The bosses used to spawn every 24 hours rather than 96, I haven't be on this week due to a big storm so I can't confirm if it is back to this or if there is a completely different timer in place.

    I am sure however that my initial question wont be completely answered on here as the world boss farmers will likely keep their secrets. If the spawn times are spread across times more then it is not a completely bad thing as more people would have the chance to see them. It is good to see a faction was able to kill one a few days ago.

    it wasn't almost correct, it was completely correct,

    i farmed them a lot when they were 24hour, before it was 5.0 farming back in the day..anyway

    chrono maps are same as it was before this patch, doll is as it was, ton seemed to be 24, broad was as before, had at least 6 others well camped and didnt respawn today-esp the 23 hour/easy ones

    This "mess" you are talking about is quiet good, so noone knows when a boss spawns.
    Gives other ppl the chance to kill them too and not just some groups who camp there and kill it within 5 mins.

    Hope this change will never be changed again b:thanks

    yah for 2-3 weeks, then the only people that know the respawn will be the big campers since itll be even more complicated than before, spread out the times more and the big campers wont miss a boss due to lag or 1 dd not being there for a change, thanks pwib:laugh

    bad logic is bad Deadalus, just think how easy (before this patch) it was to snatch a boss after maint (when they respawned mainly in 2 groups) vs how easy it was for a group to get 90% of bosses on sunday when times get spread out

    ^this.

    we will get even richer now :) by "mess" i mean the fact that a few kept the old times and a few have new times. i can just believe something went totally wrong.

    and Daeda, those groups you talk about dont kill a boss in 5 minutes. give it 1-2 :P

    Who knows though, maybe there's some randomness now? Doubt it though.

    WBs spawn too late for me so idc.
