Hey, all. This announcements serves two purposes. First, there will be a short downtime of the Lost Grove here starting probably around 5 PM, but maybe a little before. I expect the downtime to last around 30-60 minutes. During this time, the Lost Grove will not be accessible. All other features of the Site will continue functioning as normal.
The reason for this downtime is that I will be implementing and testing some new Named spawn mechanics. Basically, I am adding in a dedicated spawn point for each Named (Malfarian, Oakstout, Eleane). This means that they will no longer share a spawn with the Placeholders (Crazed Druid, Ancient Ent, Nightfall Captain). Meaning... when you do trigger one of the Named, it will be in a new, standalone location and you can continue farming the two Placeholders. This should benefit players in a couple ways:
-You no longer lose out on a Placeholder spawn by triggering a Named
-If you cannot or don't want to defeat the Named, you can still keep farming the Placeholders as normal
-The Named will now spawn instantly rather than on its next respawn
All other Named/Placeholder spawn mechanics are remaining the same. So you will still have to defeat Placeholders to trigger their Named. This spawn percentage will still increase as you defeat more Placeholders inbetween Named spawns. Etc, etc. All of that is staying exactly the same.

Hey, that's pretty cool o:
I haven't been in TLG for a while, mostly 'cos of the fest, but that seems like it'll be a nice feature~ I know a number of people have been stuck with Eleane and then struggle to farm materials from just one captain, so this feature should be pretty useful.

This is extremely useful! No more having to wait hours or being forced to battle an impossible boss XD
