Are IC special scamp spawns broken?

Solariken · June 2018

I have not been able to find a scamp in months. I usually farm the sewers a few times a week totaling 3-4 hours and I only run in paths where the scamps spawn. I usually check all 3 alliance areas. The spawns used to be somewhat regular and predictable but I think they are either broken or have been nerfed into Oblivion. I'd like to be able to finish this achievement...

Has anyone else stumbled across one?

hey, you should try with that, best way to get the achievement.

Thanks for the link but I know where they all spawn and how the timers work... I just haven't found a single one in ages and starting to wonder if they're broken.

@Solariken

If the spawns are indeed broken, a Templar main should feel finally totally at home in the sewers

I actually don’t know if they are - have not been in the sewers since ages.

Yesterday, I was the first time for ages in the sewers, and got a trove scamp. So they are at least not completely broken, but no idea if they work correctly in general.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_GinaBruno I think I see what is happening. It used to be that the scamps would spawn and then hang out until a player came in range and then they would start their mad portal dash.

However, now the scamps seem to be heading to the portal as soon as they spawn. I was in the sewers for 3 hours today and twice I entered the room right as the scamp was finishing his portal out.

Is this intended? Can you relax these guys a bit so we actually have a chance to find them?

I came across 2 special scamps in about 3 hours of Tel Var farming last night. One got away cause I thought it was a normal scamp, killed the other. I haven't noticed a difference fwiw.
