Boss Spawn Times

[xMaite.]

Hi!

I have a question about boss spawn times.

The update says: One group every 3 hours.
But in about 3 hours we've killed 3-4 bosses without anyone summoning them.
How does it actually work?

Fr. I can't even quest because they spawn constantly randomly. One every 3 hours but There were more than 5 surely in 3 hours.

Not to forget they don't get cleared from 02:00 till 09:00 since people sleep.

ok maybe it is better understandable if you view it as a respawncooldown of 3 hours, if a group gets killed it takes 3 hours until a new one will appear. Spawns from lure kits do not count into this timer.

Why not clear them after 2 hours and spawn the next one 1 hour later. People leave/forget one minion and the boss never respawns.

1 group every 3h in each map, not for whole server. Although I can confirm that I encountered few groups in same map.

If you've seen more during the official 3-hour time frame, it's because someone put a lure kit there. Obviously, if you arrive late or don't look closely, you won't notice the lure.

Are you sure? That's what I thought when I was in CCV, when another elite group appeared out of nowhere after 30 minutes, but I noticed that there was someone with lure kits, Because he kept calling on about five more

I think that its likely the case, but seeing others think the same makes me wonder

The "one group every 3 hours" timer is per zone/map, not across the entire server. On top of that, if no one clears the bosses from the previous spawn window (like during low-activity hours between 02:00 and 09:00 as mentioned above), those bosses don't just vanish - they stay on the map.

When players log back on and start roaming different zones, it feels like bosses are spawning non-stop back-to-back, but in reality, you're just clearing the accumulated backlog from the previous hours across multiple zones, mixed in with the newly triggered 3-hour timer cycles.

Also, keep in mind that event triggers or manual summons by other players in adjacent zones can easily throw off your perception of the timer if you're not tracking every specific map. If you're trying to quest peacefully, your best bet is to avoid the high-density boss roaming routes right after server activity picks up in the morning!
