  1. The frustration voiced by many on US2 server is that the 20-30-40 minute respawn time for the refbots is ridiculous.. yes the ammo is insanely priced but managable to those know how to max out their damage and breakeven or make a little uri on the event (with rebate).

    Is it the plan of the dev team to have players stop playing this event altogether because the wait time is so long? Just something to think about if you notice people aren't participating anymore.
     
  2. agree respawn time is insane

    Yep, it was so sad on US1 I didn't bother to stay online long enough to kill a second ref bot. They broke the best event ;'(

    Players actually control the respawn time.

    There are 15 ref bots on the server at all time, 6 in lowers and 9 in the uppers. So once one is killed in the uppers then another respawns in an upper map that does not currently already have a ref bot in - it respawns instantly. If you just sit in one map waiting then I'm not surprised that it seems like 20 minute respawn time, since one might have not spawned in your map when another one killed in another map.
     
  6. I killed close to 150 ref bots yesterday and gained 164k uridium so I'm happy with the event.
     
  7. Okapi32 - First of all, thank you for the information above.. I have friends in MMO & EIC... both were bashing all the refbots in uppers as I was after the VRU ones. We all kept in contact in chat to monitor their respawn times -- as i posted above it was very very slow even though we killed everything in x-5 x-6 x-7 x-8 maps.

    Just voicing frustrations players experiencing in US2

    Hmm there was no issue with it on GB2 or GE1 yesterday, the respawns were working as normal so you might want to ask support about it if it was just an issue with your server. Could be something to do with the US-based servers since the other two posters complaining of it play US servers.

    Thank you all for assisting with this thread.

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    Do you have anything further to ask?
