Hey everyone I'm sorry for asking something that has probably been covered before, but here we go.

i recently returned to the game so im not sure if things have changed at al, but i was wondering how maintenance effects the TOD of hnms of 21-24-hr re-spawn. If i remember correctly or so i thought after mant a HNMs tod was reset has this changed or will the time a mant has taken be void and the mob will pop the correct amount of hours after the last kill?

i am thankful for any input and please excuse the bad spelling and grammar.

thank you.

no change, the monsters can pop anywhere from the sec the server goes up to 3hrs after.

The servers CAN and DO turn on BEFORE we can get on them in a lot of cases. This is how some NMs are usually up walking around already and sometimes it takes 3 hours to spawn. You can literally log in and be at the 3 hour mark+ on a maintainance like this 7 hour one today. This is good to keep in mind when hunting certain NMs.

kings work like that yeah but some NMs act like server up is TOD and will pop at the end of the timeframe.

What about something like Argus, or other non-HNM 24hr+ pops, does maintenance just restart their timers?

Yes.

Because it is physically impossible to log in the second the server turned back on, there will always be the possibility of an NM/HNM being sat there waitingwhen ppl log in.

This is semi false and semi true

All NM that appeared before COP was released their window is up when servers are up Exemple Kings, KA, Simmy roc and others

All NM that appeared after COP was released their window start 21-24 after server are up (of course some NM got different window like Cerb and Khim)



Ixion and SW works different

If their window is open or if the NM is UP BEFORE Maint start theuy will pop max 1h after window is done (usually they will be up already)

If their window is not up or they are killed before maint start They will pop 21-24 after maint


Exemple Current time 10AM EST Ixion window opens at 11AM EST Maintenance is at 11h30 EST
Current time 10AM EST SW window opens at Noon EST Maintenance is at 11h30 EST

Ixion will pop as soon as MAint is done.

SW will pop 20-25 (or 21-24) after maint is over
