Boss Spawn Time Change

In the latest change to various monster types (Baphomet, Beleth, Necromancer, Giant Ant Queen, Death Knight, Phoenix, Dragons), one of the assets that was potentially changed is spawn time. The spawn time on creatures such as Baphomet was increased, and loot items were improved to offset this. Please do not email Support regarding the spawn times of these creatures. They are not broken, but are changed to reflect their added and improved loot items.

I think there needs to be some mid-level bosses to offset the level changes. This would give mid-level characters who aren't strong enough for these bosses something else to fight.

Post #2, the reason they don't add mid-level bosses is because newbie bb mages (I am a bb mage, but not a newbie ^_^), take up half the server and would camp the mid level bosses like crocodile for the slim chance of a zel.

Knightguy, they don't spawn at certain times, they spawn at intervals. so theres really no way to know when its going to spawn unless you know when it last ended.

The new spawn times are great. Now while all the idiots are camping the Caves and Dungeons to get the Bosses, there's less people hunting everywhere else. Points for NCSoft~ ^_^

Great, campers get another update.

Gotta say.. this is one of the worst updates thus far. You can now hunt for 6 or 8 hours actually looking for a boss and not even get to see one. Does anyone even care that its only a very few select people who actually are getting any items from these bosses? What makes things worse, is players cant get any of these new items from monsters they can actually find. Make an update that an average player can actually participate in.. cause this really sux.

I think I may quit Lineage and spend my money on lotto tickets. I have a better chance hitting the jackpot than actually killing a boss in Lineage.

Lineage should now come with an update disclaimer.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS UPDATE IS TO SCREW OVER 99.9% OF ALL LINEAGE PLAYERS. ONLY THE CAMPERS WHO KNOW THE EXACT SPAWN TIMES WILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT THESE NEW BOSSES OR GET THE NEW ITEMS.

yea its probly really bad over there... i dont really like the idea about making all the spawns random just make bapho every like 4 hours (or at least 6 or something because ive heard of ppl waiting 8+ hours and he still dont spawn now what the hek is that -_-), beleth was fine with 6 hours i think, dk ok make him random but at least 2 times a day, pheonix - ive heard of this badboy not spawning for a whole 3 days i think he should spawn at least once a day, antqueen isnt so bad since if somebody sees her they can get a group and come back and she probably still wont be dead since itll take like 10-20 ppl to kill but again she should spawn at least once a day, and did they change drake spawn times??? ive heard from some peeps that they did but not sure on that.

...... the bosses arent too hard.. but htere are spawn times are crap .. personally i like this new spawn time harder to kill bosses +s how up less = better items it all makes sense really... if they change it back to old spawn time they should make it drop the old items again instead of these rings and belts and stuff... new drops are great i got my first Ammy without ahving to but it lolz so im happy

Okey, This is off topic but i dont think anyone would read this if i put it on old news. U guys complain about TSU being 1 handed and making knight the strongest char, What about Summon mages? Summon is like 2x-3x as cheap as a tsu and with 8 BBs, U can kill almost any mop that a knight has to use like 40+ pots to kill, Mages = the best char in Lineage if ur not a pk person. I dont mean u have to play mage if ur not pk person, Just that think about it, Knight needs better weapon since theyre made to be the strongest 1:1 char. If prince was made to be strongest 1:1.. They would have better stuff, Just think about Knights role in Lineage.

Ya, Thats what i was trying to tell u all, If NC makes TSU 1 handed its because the other classes are better then knight in theyre area so they had to make knight as good as he should be in his area

Honestly this whole spawn thing sucks. It's the most retarded thing I've ever heard of.. You make the bosses stronger, and then make them spawn once a month. I'd rather that they made them all lvl 70+ and take teamwork to kill than this junk. Kinda how the Dragons were intended to be. I guess NC hoped to add some teamplay to Lineage, besides sieging, with the dragons.. but somewhere along the line, they decided that the dragons had to be impossible :/.

There really was no point to this update I guess. I hate it.
The Tsurugi change was fine, it was a three million adena piece of trash.

I just went to check on it. The Ant Queen has not spawned in a few days on the Test Server. This could be due to a few factors:

1) We did change how the bosses are spawning. It is no longer on a timer, but is a random setting. The Ant Queen could potentially spawn three times a day (rare), or it could be several days.
2) If we reset the Test Server, this could affect the count to spawn per time.

We will continue to monitor this and see if we notice any out of the ordinary.

I agree that this update sux!!!

I also think that having Bapho on 2f TI is dumb, because there's nothing down there worth killing if you are above lvl 20, so there's nothing else to do *BUT* camp bapho. As for the others, it's cool they increased drops, but if you never get to kill them, what's the point. Not many players can spend all day waiting for one of the bosses to spawn, but there usually is some1...

Oh and those that think the BB mages did this, think again, I've seen more knights camping bosses than BB mages, or as many at least. Besides, knights get most of the drops anyway, cuz they do more damage.

Anyway, that's just my ranting...

i agree... i had JUST Gotten used to phoenix spawn when this happened.... almost had it to a TEE! now i gotta figure out all of this by wasting my time again and camping at the spawn.... or checking global to see if someone yells "Phoenix ended!" or "Ifrit ends!" its ludicrous!
