Graypeak Mountain, Fire Giant Cave spawns

Unread post by Steve »

Hello,
The challenge in the Fire Giant Cave is appreciated with the many new spawns—that being Dogs, Fire Giants and Fire Giant Mages in addition to the Commander—however, the spawns NEVER END. It is just constant spawn spamming, which leaves absolutely no time to RP in that Area.

All one can do is fight their way in, then fight their way while in, then fight their way out. Maybe give us a moment of peace?!? And to collect our party's wits and prepare for the long journey down the hill??

Thank you for considering.

I could be wrong, but I believe the spawns stop when the General dies. And I actually like how dynamic this encounter has become. It makes sense for him to call forth his army to defend his hold as I see it.

But as some one that greatly enjoys RPing in wilderness/adventuring areas too, I can see where you are coming from. But perhaps this particular zone should rightfully dissuade it a bit? :)

That maybe the case!

But what happened to me is that there were so many spawns, the Commander despawned before we could get to him.

So maybe what I experienced was a weird bug that when the Commander disappears before being killed, the switch is kept on!?!

The spawns still occur post mortem. I've treated it as though the giants are clamoring for who is next for the throne.
