NPC cage not spawning [b]

[Alexandrea]

I've been watching Alex's and Cliff's. Neither have had an npc pop up in a week.

These definitely are not working. Laid one days ago, and not a thing.

Took a look at the code related to this...not honestly sure why nothing is spawning. David will probably have to look at it.

[Colette]

The announcement actually does read, "between 0 and 2 enemies every day". Meaning you could have any stretch of days with nothing. Sorry.

Caught one!

But, yeh. A week, as in the first post, is possibly a bit of a discouraging length for people who might otherwise buy these?

Adding: it's a Paladin Berserker that now keeps respawning in the cage (I stopped when the third one appeared).

[Alexandrea]

There was an issue a long time ago with respawning happening just in general and I *just* had some incredible luck with an npc type myself (http://www.mooncalfstudios.com/pathofth ... 22#p457322) so the respawning might be a separate issue?

idk about odds myself
but the lack of successful 'rolls' with getting npcs in cages feels like a bummer, esp. when compared to the odds of multiple repeating spawns. O.o >.<

1) Are you checking every day? Spawns vanish at the end of the day.
2) Is there a chance somebody else could be grabbing them?
3) As mentioned, it's a 2 in 3 chance to spawn an enemy, so that could be playing a part.
4) A deep dweller spawned in Helly's cage today, so if it is a bug then it's something that's only affecting some cages.

I'm not saying it's not, just that it doesn't seem to be.

[Alexandrea]

I've got cameras where Alex's is so, yes I am sure no one has been munching them before I saw them at that one but Cliff's it very well could be that.
And yup, I check them both with bug mod every day.

Rather than some cages and not others being the issue, could it be the RNG might be a bit off maybe?

[Mooncalf]

As it's a simple 0 - 2 roll, I don't think that part is the bug. What's the location of a cage that isn't spawning anything? I'll compare them to Helly's now.

[Alexandrea]

There's a Paladin Elder in it right now

but there wasn't when I checked this morning, aren't they supposed to spawn after daychange or sunrise? O.o

And it's at
You are currently in the Quartermaine Custom Creations 8D2F area, standing at 11, 10, Redwood.

[Mooncalf]

Yeah I believe they spawn at sunrise. He wouldn't have appeared any other time.

Even still, they might not be spawning often enough, but I'm glad they are spawning sometimes at least.
