GM calls about nm pop timers

[sylvani]

Soo my ls was camping Simurgh this morning. 24 hrs hit and no pop. at the same time another group was camping KA and he popped AFTER his window. We call some GM's and this is what my friend was told

Clearly here the GM states that NM's have NO pop timers. Therefore something has changed because as we ALL know nms have had specific pop timers for years.

This is my convo with my GM

"We do not disclose the exact times of these monsters and I do not believe we have posted the any information on the true spawn times of these monsters."

So within 20 mins both these GM's have contraindicated each other. Also MY GM very nicely just cut me off midquestion... -.-

Have fun with this BG >.>

KA hates Aura. That's the only explanation.

Simurgh, Roc, and KA all have an extra After ToD window it's extremely rare in my experience but it's definitely normal and possible.

There was also a maintenance that shut those zones down yesterday. So either you didn't calculate the 21-24hrs correctly, or you didn't get the post-maintenance ToD.

I find it hilarious the GM just ignores your questions and spouts off all that crap at the end of the conversation haha

not sure about Simmy, but i know KA pops arent 21-24, it is 21:05-24:05 with windows every 30.

wut?

And I've dealt with Bellomus on several occasions. He/she/it reminds me of Teelow back in the day, and Teelow was pretty fucking useless.

KA first window is 21 hours 5 mins after death, second 21 hr 35 mins, third 22 hr 5 mins, and so on.

I like how the guy in the first SS didn't even quote the GM right. GM says "NMs do not have a designated spawn time."
And that guy turns it into "NMs NOW do not have designated spawn times."

People still contact GMs and think know much if anything about the game?

I just call them to waste their time, to be honest...

This is true. I've also seen KA pop after last window passed, for no apparent reason (no maint or anything like that).

And then I stopped.

[SephYuyX]

Uh, GMs arent allowed to disclose any info. So yeah, hes not going to tell you anything.

[oldoldman]

contraindicated

Wut?

Can pop until 30 minutes after window is "closed", Had it happen 3-5 times while camping it... 70 times?

When he says that mobs have no spawn timers, I think he's basically saying that SE has never come out and guaranteed anyone that NMs have a normal 21-24 hr pop time or anything. This is all stuff players have figured out and can't be officially stated by SE or the GMs who work for them. Had he said "That's unusual" or something along those lines, he would have been implying that SE endorses some sort of official monster spawn times, and they don't endorse any official ANYTHING in this game unless it's lame changes that screw players over.

I would never call a GM over a spawn timer personally, the few times I've called a GM for anything other than being stuck it was me who was in the wrong with a stupid oversight, and I felt kinda bad (but not too much). They don't hold SE's official word on anything, they just exist to help cover the company's butt when the shit does hit the fan, and thus they're extremely well-versed in bullshittery.

Cutting you off in the middle of a question was lame, but like any customer service job, he probably can't sit around chatting with 1 person for a long time, since he has other people to go 'help' too. Even so they can use that excuse to get rid of you if you're being persistent lol But yeah, I've experienced times when mobs popped long after they should have, too. I'd chalk it up to spaghetti code or at the very least our chaotic universe.
