    Fix world boss spawn timer

    Since I'm on vacations I realised world bosses tend to spawn between 2am and 6am. Why so late? This explain why I barely see them when i'm not in vacation. Can't they spawn at normal time, at least based on server time??

    I think it's a factor of a 24-hour respawn based on the last completion and people are actively looking to complete these ASAP. I would imagine the timers both got started during Early access, and perhaps are reset when maintenance occurs. But the impact of that is that for people in the US, the respawn is currently in the wee small hours of the morning. The timer would need to be a 12-36 hour respawn with RND, but that averages out to a 24 hour respawn over the long run. That would prevent the rush to complete this content from continually restarting the spawn time very early in the day.

    World fates, such as Ixion, do not always spawn at the same time. From personal experience I have seen it spawn at 10am, 12pm, 7pm and 11pm. While the respawn timer is set the spawn is not. It can spawn any time within the spawn window.

    Spawn time varied based on certain factors. Some are weather, time of last defeat, and average 6-36 hours after last time it was defeated. I've encountered them at very random times that. If it's not defeated can be 2-6 hours.
