We all love server resets. It makes all the end game bosses respawn, as well as the current event bosses and Dragonlord bosses. It gives us something to do for a couple hours, and it lets us keep timers on the end game bosses. All-in-all, server resets are awesome. But not for all bosses...

The new weapon bosses spawn on a 15 day max timer, and do not respawn when the server gets reset. So we might be on day 14, when the server is reset, and then will have to wait another 14 days for it to respawn... that's almost a month without one of these bosses! That is not counting if the server gets reset multiple times during the month, as is now happening because of flash sales.

This also affects all other rare spawn even bosses; Ymir, Ythair, Vorum, Askold, Athatch, Grimling, witches, witchfinders, ghost bosses, etc. All of them get their respawn times reset when the server resets. It was harder to see this in the past, but the weapon bosses have presented a good test case where we can see that this is how rare spawn bosses work. Weapon bosses spawn like past event bosses, but they have a much smaller spawn time window. This is why we see so few of the past event bosses; because the servers get reset so often and it messes with their timers.

So what can be done about this? I'm not sure. It is a problem that should be addressed, because it directly affects the amount of rare spawn items in the worlds and reduces the amount of bosses that we can fight. If a boss is so rare that it hardly ever spawns, can we even consider it still in the game? (I'm looking at you Ythair!) I would like to see something done about this, but I'm not sure how this problem can be solved. I would like to ask OTM to look into this problem, to see if anything can be done.

umm i have good news for you, these new weapon bosses spawn after server restart, but not all of them... server was restarted today and i soloed lvl 40 boss, got bow from it and after that i checked 140, it was also up and it dropped hammer (unfortunatelly lvl 90 wasnt up in sewers)

You just proved my point. They can spawn after a server restart, but not always. Same with all the other rare spawn bosses. I have seen some rare spawns up after a restart, and I have seen some take forever to spawn after a restart. This is why Arawn went so long without a 190 weapon boss. Server resets mess with rare spawn boss timers.

My main issue with server restarts are that they are always during my mornings while i am at work or late at night when I'm sleeping. Never are they during the daytime or evening. I feel like I havent seen a server restart in prob years. And I'm not inactive either.

yea, so once ymir spawned after restart, but another time it was prince corvax... just random boss spawns

otm restarts servers during their worktime so this might be in the night/morning for you. they usually reset servers between 10-15 gmt.

Honesty, nothing to worry about here. With server resets you get lv150 and lv200 bosses who drop way better gear than those of previous events, aggy, hrung, mordris and necro spawns as well.

190 bosses dont drop the best weapons in the game, the caster weapons are nothing to write about. Melee weapons are decent but nowhere near as great as mordris spears, dl weapons, necro weapons.

All in all, the positives outweight the negatives.

I agree with you. I'm just wondering if there is some way to diminish/eliminate the negatives to make these old event bosses spawn more often, regularly, and predictably.

Yea i get what ur saying and i believe we all saw that happening in Arawn, perhaps if they cant diminish that negative part they can change the wep bosses' windows?
