Am I really the only one who thinks this is already the case??? you got the 4days timer +/- a few hours (dunno how many). At least i think it is

4 days +/- 3 hours is not random : /
1day +1 to 72 hours would be random

*nods*
Like I said, Ryzom and random never seem to work so well. Real random would help.

It s not random actually.
When you kill a boss, just note on a paper the time you killed it and come back 3 days later +/- 1 or 2 hours, you will find it again for sure.
What i call random is like X said : make it 1 day fix during it wont pop then put a random pop within 1h to 72h or even more.
That would make camping really boring for those who do.
PS : i think NPC bosses are poping like that at the moment so devs can make it for all bosses.

oh come on
I'm a boss farmer and I think it doesnt take much effort at all for a dedicated team to find bosses with NO camping whatsoever, Hell I very rarely even bother keeping track of pop times.
work = reward
Is like me railing against people who dig for being better at it than me, they spent the time doing it and they get the reward.
I've been back just more than a week and killed almost every major boss at least once, it really isnt hard. Infact I'd trade in all the mats I gained for a decent xp team for 20 levels.
ppl cant find bosses, jack cant find teams :S

lol - Jacko has a point also. The system isn't at all bad, proper random spawns should be the only change made really I think, if any change at all.

It would be nice if the Boss mobs would pop in a random spot. This would keep Homins from camping the spot they spawn in.
