Champions in Public dungeons taking forever to spawn.

AreoHotah

I've also written a bug report but wanted to know if anyone else noticing this.

I've decided to take a break from the leveling grind today and started doing some group dungeons for skill points and achievements. And i got to say some of the champions/bosses takes 20-30 minutes to spawn (and there are 5-6 in each dungeon)...

Hope this gets fixes cuz it's really annoying. In some rooms we are 7-10 ppl here waiting for this champion to spawn...

Totally agree,
yesterday, after waiting more than 15 min for one single boss without a spawn, i gave up (and logged off).
i don't know how long it takes but more than 5 min are inappropriate.

You are lucky if it is only 30min! I went through All public dungeons and some respawn ever 5-10min others take up to 1h-4h. I don't understand how is it hard to code that all champions spawn after a specific time and not all of them at different time intervals. Have they done this to make the achievements even harder?

After I finished all public dungeons I swore myself to never do this again with an alt because it is not worth the time and stress. I might redo it when they finally fixed the spawn times in a year or so....

Killing some of the other bosses in the dungeon seems to speed up the spawns. I think only a certain number can be up at any given time.

Not really true. I had dungeons where nearly all champions were spawned except of one that took 1h+ to spawn. I was also lucky once to go into a dungeon with all champions spawned at a given time. The spawning timers are very odd in this game.

So....I waited patiently for about 6 hours on 1 champion from Bad Man's Hollow and another 6 hours for 1 champion from Village of the Lost. Do I get a cookie?

On the same note, that specific champion from Village of the Lost I was waiting for spawned within 5 minutes again after killing him when I was doing my rounds. Bad luck is on my side it seems.

At the very least, I cleared all the achievements in public dungeon. It feels so good!

Since you have to wait X time to obtain soul gem or blue from same boss i dont know why they have this long times to respawn.
There are some bosses in Cyrodill dungeons that i havent even seen

You guys should browse the forums for info about Public dungeon boss spawn mechanics before waste infinite time (i wasted alot of time also when i wasnt aware of the mechanics aswell -.-).

The mechanics are following:
All of the bossess have a spawn timer about 2-5 mins. And i mean it, ALL OF THEM ! There is NO bossess with a spawn timer around few hours or so, just NO !
However, there can be only 2 bossess at a time !
This means, that if you dont see the boss you need, go check other spawn spots and if you found any bossess kill them on sight even if you dont need them.
Killing the boss will trigger new spawn.
Unfortunately, new spawn are random and it seems that some bossess have bigger chance to spawn then others.
This may easy lead to a situation where you may just keep killing same 2 bossess again and again and same 2 bossess will keep spawning preventing from spawning the boss you need.
The more bossess in dungeon the less chance to spawn a certain boss.
For example, in Dungeon like Rhazak's Wheel you may spend over few hours by cycling around dungeon killing all the bossess while trying to trigger Behemoth spawn for example while there are only that Seargant in second room spawn other and other again (happened to me, spend over 3 hours) or same with Macius in Village of the Lost.
But in the end it is really just a matter of luck how fast you will see the boss you need. In some dungeons i just walked thru killing all the bossess and not a single boss spawned again, they spawned new boss with 100% chance and some times i stuck with killing only 2-4 of them.

P.S. If you think you just w8ed and suddenly boss you want spawned that can only means that there is some1 else inside that dungeon and he killing other bossess which triggered spawn.

Public Dungeon bossess do not drop soul gems :P They are harder then Delve Bossess but they have no unique loot table or any good loot what so ever.

Forgot to add. It seems that after server restart, all of the champions spawn and only after their first death the 2 bossess at a time rule start to work.

Okay but that is not okay. You've seen Lion's den? I don't wanna run around that place to ''trigger'' champion respawns. That place is HUGE...

I agree. Some of the group dungeon bosses are taking way too long to respawn. My wife and I were grouped with one other person and we waited at least 15 - 20 minutes in a group dungeon a boss to appear before we finally just gave up and moved on. I probably should have submitted a bug report, but I will be sure to do so next time.

I really don't understand this mechanic. Even now im in a public dungeon called Crimson Cove walking around and waiting for 2 bosses (out of 7) to spawn. Even thou this dungeon is designed for group play, i managed to solo it (very hard as a dual wield nightblade) and kill the other bosses.
But these other 2 left, they won't spawn, the others that i've killes already kep spawning... I understand now that only 2 can spawn at the same time in the dungeon but i don't understant why is this needed?? Vr9 zone is deserted all day long so i have to keep killing these bosses on my own over and over again... really really annoying
