For the last few days, Elites and Named have not been spawning correctly. It takes up to 24 hours instead of 6 for Elites to respawn, and when I spawn a Named by defeating Elites ("you have drawn the attention of a great power to the wherever") they do not actually spawn until around 8 hours have passed. This is really messing up doing my daily tasks for the fest. I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem, what could be going on?

Are you using the Exit Zone button a lot? Using it will add respawn timer penalties. I think if you use it in a barrage, the penalty can stack up to like 24 hours of penalty time.

I was wondering if that was it. I do use Exit Zone as a shortcut to quickly return to the Barracks sometimes. However, nowhere does it say that there is a penalty (except for "spawns will reset if you do not return within 30 minutes), and I've been using it for months without this issue. It would be nice if there was text somewhere detailing exactly how the penalties work so people like me know to take it more seriously.

Yea. I believe that 30 minute penalty can stack up to 24 hours? Ish. Something like that.

Thanks for letting me know. I will stop using that button except in emergencies.
