Which region of space are you flying in? I have chased them for about 10 hours in Derelik without finding any. There was a combat site in the first system in Devoid.
“Hisec trash sites” means “Sansha Hideaway”, “Sansha Den”, and other cosmic anomalies not from this event. Sleeper Forge sites are the sites that I’m chasing because I just want to finish up my event rewards.
Move out of Derelik. There are even double spaws in systems outside Derelik, even in much higher traffic systems then I was looking at in Derelik. I submitted a ticket about this.
Kor-Azor and Devoid in Amarr space, at least has normal spawns. By the empress, I asked two days ago if it was my region or a general problem and I was told they were being farmed more heavily, but they were out there.
Also keep in mind that a change involving “actual more spawns” (which we don’t have) would distribute more sites throughout space.
“Reduced spawn time” means sites will appear, get cleared and reappear somewhere else more quickly. The usual result of this after a few hours is that better-travelled regions get swept clear of sites, and the sites tend to pile up in the odd corners and untravelled pockets of that region. (At least until someone heads to those pockets and clears them out.)
You may see more spawns in the hour or two after downtime, and then need to go looking farther away to find them as the day goes on.
There’s a difference between changes in spawns and spawns missing entirely, I have not found a site in Derelik for about 4 days, spent well over 10 hours looking with more than one character. I moved quickly after DT, nothing either. But there is a lot of Rifts there.
It’s not outside the realm of statistical impossibility, but there are at least two threads complaining about this, and everyone reporting experiencing it is in Derelik.
It was a respawn time reduction, so if nobody is running the sites in that area then they aren’t respawning, this is not the same as the timer for them spawning without being triggered as a respawn from a completed site
No sh*t. Nobody is doing the sites in Derelik, because they stopped spawning without any notice and it took people days to find out, as people outside Derelik claimed they are just contested, etc. Please visit Derelik and try for yourself.
