Hydra/Cerberus/Khimaira

Please....does SE have any intention to lower these spawn timers? I can't even catch Khim while he's up anymore, can it be like 2-3 hour repop instead of 48-72 hours!?

I agree with this and would like to include all the world wyrms as well. Though these once incredible beasts were marvels back in their hay-day, they are easily hunted and defeated todays. The only problem now are their spawn times. I don't mean to suggest a low respawn timer but possibly within 24 hours or lower. 48 to 72hour respawns are a bit much these days.

A bit much? Try absurdly unreasonable. Khimaira has been nothing but stress for the entirety of my time spent hunting him for the last couple of years. I'm currently 0/100+ on that guy. But not only is getting my prize to drop an issue, it's trying to set aside time to camp him. No one can spend a max of 24 hours for a 7% chance at a toy item these days, and now that I lost his ToD, I haven't seen Khimaira in over a month. I'm that tired of the huge respawn timer that I just wanna roll on the floor and kick and scream like a child from how frustrating it is.

I wouldn't go so far to say absurdly unreasonable but would say unnecessary these days. Back in the day when camping world kings was the norm, it was necessary to have such high respawns for these monsters. There were so many people/groups hunting them that it gave those different hunters a chance to claim them.

However, times have changed and the game isn't what it was some years back. And though for a time these once great beasts were prized hunts, now they are just solo challenges with very little risk. I agree they need to re-think the respawn times for these monsters now, but I would leave them between 12-16hrs at the lowest and no more than 24hrs.

I will say, I worked for this particular king for nearly 4months before even getting a chance to lot at the sword. Helped an LS camp it with a mule at the camp zone 24/7. And though this is a bit much for one person to do, it too was the norm for all the HNM shells of the time to do. At today's player base, I don't see such mules or play times necessary. For your stress' sake, I do hope they rethink their spawn times. Happy Hunting, Anjou.
