When is the respawn issue going to be addressed. Since the last patch in late June some plants and even some mobs dont respawn as they used to. It is getting frusrtating to try and lvl when you dont have the mobs/plants to fight with. Since the Kizoars we killed 2 days agao near Resting Waters teleport they still have not respawned. Neither have the cutes respawned in the same area by the teleport.

I agree that some mobs groups in usual hunting areas r behaving wierd, we were fighting late Thursday night at Grove of Confusion (near Kami tp) and amouunt of Ocyxs was extremaly low, pop didn't ocured for many minutes and we needed to run across whole area...
The next strange thing was than the next day after few hours (7-8) all was back to normal way...???
hmmmm :O

The new respawning times are really annoying cause you cant just stay at one place always killing the same stuff and get much exp for it. You have to move on through the region now and it's mory likely to get killed by some aggro mobs than before.

That is the whole idea, it is a incentive to explore and see the region. Killing the same stuff for hours on end seems rather boring to me.

i agree there should be some incentive to explore but by screwing with the spawns like this they just frustrate the players. they need to come up with a better long term incentive to moving about instead of camping the same location

Hmm, to be honest, I think it's much more boring to get killed all the time and getting only very few exp than killing the same stuff hours and hours on end.
I like exploring and seeing new landscapes, but when Im hunting in fount for instance (where I already know every little edge), there's nothing to explore for me anymore.

Also, if someone doesn't like always killing the same stuff, he/she can just move on and kill something different. Nobody forces you to stay at the same place all the time.

I haven't been grinding on spawn since patch but there have been earlier oddities in mob respawning right after patches. Maybe slow respawning is working as intended and they have got finally some bugs ironed out that confused respawn timers soon after restart.
Well, if it is now works as intended, they could increase hunting benefits (xp/loot) as it would not lead to super fast leveling with spawn camping. Dream on

OK as works all now as should be I have one "small" question: up to lev 200 players have a variety of mobs suitable for each playing style, but after u hit 200+ number of possible options was rapidly decreased and nerfed imo:
-no more Named mobs parties,
-too low amount *5 mobs
-no more abilities to hunt in team larger than 3 peeps
...this isn't moving in right direction, I know that many low level players joined game (thanks to Jena and ...grr kami for this
) but High levs players need to be treated with more caution cause further nerfing game will occur their quitting...
..just my 3 dappers...
