Sandworm broken?

[Hex]

I don't even know the last time it popped in East Ron or Batallia on Odin. The only 'broken' thing we've seen is he totally skipped his window one day and didn't pop til 48 hours after death. He doomvoids at 25% pretty much on cue everytime so there's no issues there. Like it's been said, it's just cause Everbloom has too many groups in it to handle another. Don't like it? Let it depop and repop in another zone.

Seems to be more stable now on Pandy. Had KA 2 Worms ago no problem in getting DV. Although saying that we had 2 pop with in 10 hours 3 days ago with no apparent maintenance or minimaint. So we've now had HQ > (9Hr) > Guivre > (25Hr) > KA > (24Hr) > Serket. All DV np around 20-25%.

[Ayn]

Haven't seen it in Everbloom areas, but the last 2 days we've fought it in Merry mountain and Saruta (on Fairy) and it's Doomvoided pretty much instantly at 24-25%.

Avalon Breastplate price increase gooo.

Has anyone had super early sandworm pops? We've killed two in 3 hours recently and seen a few 12 hr pops.

[Kaibelf]

Or is it also possible that SE also lowered the likelihood that it will even use Doomvoid?

That's something I actually never thought of. Maybe they wanted people to not be as likely to hold it for so long for something that may never happen. Or, they could slowly be moving away from long times pops? *wakes up* Bah. Well, still a possibility.

Yesterday it popped around 40 hours after last kill in Batallia Downs (Oh shit KA zone at last) and we had no doomvoid problems, there were only 2 people in Everbloom Hollow, and then a friend of the LS found it up in Rolanberry fields 5 hours later. such a weird NM

[Hex]

And 5 hours after that worm, it repopped in Rollanberry and we were able to snatch that one up as well thanks to another LS friend. It's nice not even having to camp the stupid worm sometimes ppl just tell you it's up lol.

Worm is definetly somehow fucked or changed. Didn´t pop for us till like 46 hrs after maint. Then pop twice in 7 hours.

[Niki]

My theory is: Worm tries to pop in a zone and if he can't pop (I think that he cant even pop if the BC is too full) He will just pop 24hrs later again, together with the worm that still would pop on the next day (so 2 will pop on the next day). I'm just not sure about the window times.

[Alistaire]

So with enough of these kills now, anyone getting "Sandworm Fang" or "Sandworm Shell" drops?

Honestly those looked like placeholder items placed in before the devs decided to have Doomvoid send you to other HNMs that actually dropped loot.

I know people hate random theories, but maybe they made it like Leaping Lizzie and there are now two instances of the worm?

Or the possibility of one for each region, but would think people would've noticed triple pops by now unless some shell's actually managed to keep it hush hush. Otherwise, think the only other real theories are it eating RR and just being bugged.

I would say thats pretty much impossible, there are some safe ways to know if you missed a sw or if it simply didnt pop and I'm quite sure if you add them all together after a few weeks you will find it out that as many SW spawned as days have passed.

[Renzy]

What Nikir said seems to have made the most sense, about it skipping to the next day if it is 'unable' to pop on one day. That'd explain how there's been more than one worm on one day, still a really strange NM though.

It refused to pop yesterday on Odin, so maybe we'll find 2 today /shrug

[Xrave]

I'd just want to think that due to the last patch the RR effect isn't getting dispelled so it's popping a lot earlier than expected (after only a few hours in some cases)...Which is why we see it so more now after the last patch than before.

[Jelto]

Had sw not doomvoid after 2 hours of holding it today. We let it deagro and regen to 100% and no luck. Everbloom had 0-10 people(3 parties max) throughout the whole time.

Sandworm stopped popping in both Batalia and Ronfaur in bismarck for a long long time now

Yeah I've seen almost 10 windy area pops in a row. Some guivres before and after, and no recent KAs ;(

This happened on levi over the weekend, never sure if catch all the pops, but did skip aday then was killed twice the next day.
