NM Timers reset?

[jinxmitchell]

Yesterday I camped a 24 hour nm as soon as the maintanance was over and 3.5 hours later.. nothing. The 20+ other ppl who were there with me also got nothing... there was no spawn. Did SE not reset the times this time or did the nm's simply not pop?

which nm?

[sphero]

Only Argus can pop later than 3 hrs after Maintenance (beside the 3 Wyrms, Vrtra, Tiamat, Jormungand).

The nm was padfoot, and i was logged in seconds after the game was available... there were more than 20 of us waiting for it but nobody got it. my question is did they not reset the spawn times this maintanance?

This happened on Ragnarok with Morbolger too...

if server got completly shutdown, yes then there was a spawn time reset, but i dont know if this means the Monster is Up or the counter is runing lol

when i loged in ca 2min after server was up, there was already a pt fighting Roc

Some NMs don't pop until 21-24 hours after maintance (instead of having their windows start once server comes up). That could be the case for Morbolger and Padfoot.

I know the person that killed it right after maint D: it did pop, he killed before ANYONE else logged in. He was talking about it over /l

Same thing happened on Midgard with Padfoot. All pops were dead within 5 min of the server being back up. Some people sat out there for 3 hours afterward waiting... and never saw it because it had already been killed. Padfoot is a weak NM, so it would not surprise me that the same thing happened on your server.

This means that the timer is running. Last maintanance i camped Padfoot and it popped 2 hours after restart while many other nms popped within minutes after the server was up. The thing is that i was looking at the screen the second it switched from the message of: "You cannot play during maintanance" to the button saying: "Play." I logged in right then so i was on within I'd say 20 seconds. I can kill Padfoot pretty quickly, faster than my 69 rng friend (assuming i 2hr and he 2hrs) and it doesn't seem like someone could have logged in, claimed, killed then fled the scene in that amount of time, but I've been wrong before. Oh well, i'll have to find out the time again some how.
