Mob Respawn Timers?

Does anyone know how fast open mobs within zones will respawn after you kill them?

Is it different for each mob?

I haven't seen any hard evidence but it appears to be relatively short assuming that no one is watching. Normally if you go around the corner and kill another group or two by the time you get back the first group will have respawned. Conversely standing around in the area where you killed a group seems to prevent a new one from spawning (i.e. kill a group then go make a sandwich, they won't respawn and kill you).

The big exception I've seen to this is the sewer entrances in some zones which do seem to spawn groups directly into combat.

Gotcha. Thanks Adeon.

The game *tries* not to spawn foes in your sight, but if it's time to spawn and the deadline is due and there's nowhere else to spawn but in your sight or on top of you.... it will.

This is more common in Peregrine where some groups have a specific neighborhood they haunt and a limited number of spawn points (it's a narrow island).

Sometimes if the server is a bit laggy, SuperSpeeders will see spawns spawning right on top of them all the time since they catch up to a spawn point before the spawn is spawned.
