The curse cleansing pads are not respawning after we complete the first full lunar cycle. Is this intended? It seems that in the past they respawned.

    No, they only respawn in nMoL. You can use those four cleanses strategically, but you don't rely on them, as curses are cleansed after each lunar phase. In HM, there are no cleansing pads at all.

    The cleanse pads should respawn after a lunar cycle has been completed. It's been a while since I've cleared the place, but that is definitely the way it is supposed to work, unless you are doing Hardmode in which they don't activate at all.

    They will not respawn at all. Its intended to not respawn. Done it over 50 times on veteran so you can take my word for it :tongue:

    Not the case and has never been the case.

    After the lunar cycle the runners have to die and be revived if they are to run again, same if a non runner accidentally hits one of the active pads.. If the group can get to the burn phase without the runners having to go a second time post lunar cycle they do not have to die, but cannot get any of the orbs on pads as they spawn.

    Yea, this is unfortunate. We've been trying to have the runners die instead of taking the pads on the first lunar cycle so that we won't have to worry about this at the end.

    Ughh just another punishing mechanic for lower DPS groups. Oh, you don't have the DPS to beat the boss before a full lunar cycle? Well, now you have to change up your back team or you have to purposely kill yourselves to get around this mechanic.

    Hm, I could have sworn that was the case.

    Actually just reviewed some of my footage, guess I was wrong. Not sure why I thought it was the case.

    They have never respawned in Vet. In a perfect burn, its not an issue because you should only go back twice and skip the lunar phase. When learning, you will likely have to send a group back three times so it's imperative that nobody steals a pad, otherwise you are going to have to have your back team intentionally wipe and get res'ed before the cats take over.

    Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe that all curses are cleansed on VMOL (not hardmode) at the explosion at the end of the lunar phase, so your back team go can back one more time if needed.

    This is correct. So the back team can go back 3 times during the first lunar cycle, get cleansed at the end of the cycle, and then go back one more time during the next cycle. However, they will not be able to cleanse that curse, so they cannot pick up the blue orbs during execution phase. And if you need to go back more than that, you have two options. Either have the two runners purposely die (which cleanses the curse), or have multiple back teams.

    Honestly this is probably only an issue on hardmode. On normal mode, if you have the DPS to beat the Twins, you have the DPS to beat Rakkat in 1.25 lunar cycles. On hardmode I can see groups taking multiple cycles to complete it, so they will have to deal with this.
