Public dungeon boss respawn times.

It seems that when I go back to complete my public dungeon achievements I'll not only have to get the last hit on a boss for it to count, but I'll end up waiting nearly an hour if not more for it to respawn. Has anyone else noticed this and is it intended?

    started a new character now that I cant do much progress on my crafter

    sitting here in toothmaul gully waiting on bosses, the other day I me and a guy killed the bat(i died at the last second) but still got to loot, no progress on the achievement. sux that looks like I'm just going to ignore these public dungeons completely now that I know it's not really worth to waste my limited time for a skill point. they already *** me off to the point that I have to stop playing and calm down. rather this is a bug or another way combat botting, either way I'm not too happy about it

    I feel you there. The two biggest problems with several of the public dungeon bosses are 1. It sometimes take up to an hour for them to respawn and 2. You usually have to be the one to get the killing blow on the boss for it to count towards the achievement. In regards to that, if you really want the achivement you have to camp almost every boss for their long spawn times and hope that when they do spawn that some random person doesn't show up and deal the killing blow, thus wasting your time.

    Found this thread Googling the timers myself.
    Been sitting doing nothing and not enjoying the game for almost an hour now waiting for a single boss to spawn so I can finish the achievement.

    This is really horrible for people trying to complete the achievement lists, I understand that they don't want the bosses farmed or easy achievements but an hour... for a single boss?

    Yeah it is taking a long time for a lot of the bosses/Champions to respawn. Now I have noticed it is not ALL of them.. some respawn much quicker than others. But it is completely annoying and time wasting to have to spend an hour camping a boss hoping it will appear to get the conqueror's achievement in a dungeon.

    I was under the impression that bosses spawned when a previous boss was killed.
    If the boss I am looking for has not spawned I will go around the dungeon and kill the other bosses until the one I still need pops up.
    Always seemed to work like a cycle for me.

    That's the same impression I had Samadhi, but it didn't happen in the last dungeon I was in in Bangrokai. We killed all the other bosses but Rkurdanz and Mzanchndalf didn't make an appearance what so ever. After spending two hours going back and forth we gave up.

    There is limit that in dungeons only X bosses can be alive. That said, you need to clear dungeons and kill bosses until you spawn boss that you want. You can't just wait for boss, because if noone kill other bosses - it will never spawn.

    Exactly, there is no "boss-timer" in Public Dungeon
    When the server reboot, all boss pop.
    When there is two 2 boss alive, each time you kill a boss, Another boss reappears randomly

    You can kill 8 boss in succession and each time, the same boss repop. (Random Power)
