Has the spawn rate gone crazy?

I normally will hunt mutant ribbon pigs for attendance and quests involving hunting items, like the goose eggs... But lately, I've noticed the spawn rate is out of control! They spawn so quickly, it's unreal. I can literally kill the pig that spawns on one point 3-6 times, and just spam attack the one spot. Was this an intentional shift in the game mechanics?

Some ch of some maps are glitched and if you find the right ones you can abuse it like botters do. A friend told me there was an explanation for this on [b]G[/b]aming [b]S[/b]ites.

A few updates ago the respawn time droped in most normal maps. I can not find it in the updates notes. It was probably one of many hidden changes that don't make it in the notes. I remember reading about it happening in KMS so I am sure it was intentional.

[quote=LitheMovement]You're not in ch 1 are you? Even before you brought this to my attention, I noticed ch 1 spawns seem to be better than the rest. I always wondered if it was the cause of everyone being in ch 1, or if it was caused by everyone being in ch 1, or if it was simply independent.[/quote]

This. I've found that channel 1 spawns mobs faster than most channels, with or without the use of kishin. It may also depend on the map as well..

I agree, I have tested it and if kishin is used even once on a map, it will have insta respawn like you said. The 'spawn lag' in evo lab attributed to server maintenances happens simply because the servers go down and a kanna hasn't been in that evo lab yet.

well, the increase in the spawn rate is only for the best IMO.

Nah, I'm always on ch13 normally.

[quote=Deadling]How would I not use pots? It's not like I regen MP and HP's easily as an I/L mage.

@canerias I've noticed this on EVERY map I go to, not just the pigs. I doubt there's been a Kanna in everyone of these maps.[/quote]

Maybe its a bug then, but I was just saying that a Kanna can cause that respawn speed.

Must be an Aran-related patch
