Is it possible to block or delay a rare mob to spawn by standing on top of the spawn point? Or am I just seeing things?
I know for sure it was a thing in Legion Argus Invasion points end bosses. It seems to me it can occasionally happen in BfA rares too. I am asking because I have a feeling I saw it couple of times. Seeing mob mark on minimap active and rare mob simply isnt there, only people camping/standing on top of the spawn point.
Nope, they aren’t physical entities and will spawn on their set timers.
Uhm, since when? If a boss could be blocked I’m sure I would’ve seen someone afk’ing on the spawn point by now.
There’s almost no collision in WoW so it just spawns on top of a player.
I don’t think its possible to purposely delay them, however i think i get what you mean. Some rare mobs for for world quests seem to take a while to spawn. Saw it the last few days too the i arrived the moment the mob got killed, so i wait for it to spawn. the icon for the mob and the voice thingy pops up but it still takes a solid 3 or 4 minutes for the mob to actually spawn despite the minimap and the quest basicly saying it should be there
Uhm, since invasion portals were introduced? Did you never notice that the Legion commander sometimes took forever to spawn? It’s true that players were somehow “blocking” them from spawning by simply standing in their spawn location. Obviously there were at least 10 players standing on top of the Commander’s spawn point in a 40-man raid group, which is unlikely in BfA. Mostly because it’s rare that 10+ players are waiting for the same rare and standing on top of its spawn point and probably because they played in Legion and learned about the spawnblock issue from the Invasion portals. But yes, it happened on a regular basis in Invasion portals that players managed to spawnblock the Legion Commander until someone said “Move away from mid, you’re blocking the spawn” or similar things.
I really hope that isn’t a ‘thing’, there’s enough clowns on phat mounts already blocking stuff without this.
Side note tho, I wish we could kill our own faction (maybe make the chars race exempt), I’d make Moira proud.
You can’t stop a mob from spawning. Standing on a spawn location wont block anything.
