Iron beetle respawn rate?

[gortman]

Has anyone else experienced a really long (like more than 10 hour) delay in respawning for the iron beetles in the Underworld? I've noticed this on LA shard, btw. Curious if it's happening to anyone else and whether it's worth submitting a bug report.

Thanks!

I have noticed a few times, I will be killing them, like 10 sets or so, and then they just stop spawning. I come back after killing a Navrey and they still aren't spawned. So I think it breaks sometimes. I would submit a bug report if it happens again.

Yen Sid,

Thanks for the confirmation. Think I will submit a bug report next time it happens.

That area's bugged in general on LA. I had that section of the game crash on me last week, and telestorm me to safety to beside the Ter Mur moongate (wasn't a revert, as that character hadn't been to that location in weeks, and furthermore, when I logged back in after the crash, I was hidden at the new location, which his part of the emergency relocation "telestorming" code - my character has no ability to hide). I've had multiple freezing (for as much as a few seconds) since that crash

Just to update: someone on another thread said you have to kill the wolf spiders in the area to get the iron beetles to respawn more quickly. I'll have to try this.

Are there any other respawns that are chained like that, where you have to kill another type of creature to respawn something else? It's almost like the devs treated the iron beetles as a mini-spawn champ or something.
