So prior to this patch this place used to be the best place to get your NV stacks up before porting to other areas to kill champ packs.
Basically you port to the Northern Highlands and kill the champ pack that sometimes spawns near the waypoint or on the way, heading northwest to the Watch Tower(a two level dungeon which may or may not spawn)
What made this great is that the first level of this dungeon was really small and the second level had anywhere from 3-5 champ packs + a resplendent chest. So you you could quickly and efficiently get your stacks up before heading to other areas to kill more packs.
Since the servers have come back up, ive gone there 5 times out of which thrice I've got no champ packs at all and twice I've got just one. The resplendent chest still spawns there every time though.
So am i being really unlucky or have they nerfed this area?
Yea i usually start my farm runs in this place and on my last run just prior to the servers going down, i got 4 packs and would always get a minimum of at least 3 since i started doing these about 10 days ago.
Don't really see why they would nerf it though. I can understand not wanting us to farm bosses and chests/urns but now they have a problem with us farming champ packs? LOL
I've gotten this place to spawn quite afew times with no champion packs in there. In fact the first 2 times I had it spawn (both on normal mode), neither time did it have elites in there. I kept wondering what the point of that place was. It seems to have a very wide spawn rate (0-6 elite packs on that second level). Which is weird and very random.
The lyceum is the same way. I've had that place spawn with 1 elite pack, 4 elite packs, 2, etc. It's quite random as well.
I see. Guess i was really lucky the past few days then, cause i always got at least 3 every time it spawned as every time i ported back to town i had 5 stacks (1-2 from overworld packs + 3-5 from the dungeon)
Yep, I saw 6 packs on the second floor once. I was just amazed because two sets of them pulled in groups of two, which is unusual (elite groups usually don't spawn that close to each other, but it happens sometimes - just not usually twice in a row).
Teleported over to the ledge with the resplendent chest and got jumped by three elite groups at once (I had already killed two groups on level two as well before this as well).
Why do some players think that if a dungeon or event doesn't spawn, or a video shows X groups spawning then it MUST be nerf'd? RANDOM IS RANDOM..figure it out.
OMG that goblin only dropped whites!! NERF!!!!! /facepalm

I still hope i'am just being unlucky.

Oh well i guess it's back to semi act clears then
Thanks for the Info.
and these are all single player runs? this had nothing to do with how many people were in the game?
Usually, I find 2-3, but I've found as low as 1.
Edit: Single player game.
Anywhere between 1 and 5 stacks from the second level.
Teleported over to the ledge with the resplendent chest and got jumped by three elite groups at once (I had already killed two groups on level two as well before this as well).
As you can probably imagine, I died.
I had three packs in it last time I hit it. I think random is random.
These threads are getting seriously old.
(I had a ZERO elite/champ Watch Tower pre patch).
