Exiled Lands respawn times

Game mode: Single-player
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvE
Region: North America
Mods?: No
Edition: Steam


Bug Description:

Enemy camps respawn almost immediately in the Exiled Lands, regardless of the server settings. This also affects secret chests revealed by “ghosts”.


Expected Behavior:

Recently cleared camps, caves, etc. should remain empty for a while, (according to the respawn multiplier setting) like they did before patch 2.5.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Approach enemy NPC site.
  2. Kill everyone.
  3. Move a short distance away.
  4. Wait a few seconds.
  5. Come back. Everyone has respawned, even standing right over the previous corpses.

Same thing with hidden secrets:

  1. Follow ghost.
  2. Loot chest.
  3. Move a short distance away.
  4. Wait a few seconds.
  5. Come back. Ghost and chest appear again. (Great way to instantly farm resources, but feels like a bug.)

Hey @aediin

What settings are you using in your server?
This can help our team try to reproduce the issue on our end.

Thanks in advance.

I have tested this with the “npc respawn multiplier” setting at 0.1, 1, and 10, several times, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. A few other people on Reddit have said they’ve had the same issue.
