Five hours of fighting in Papua to get five beserkers to spawn ??

Given that in my experience, the average rate of getting a Doom arty or beserker's bardiche from a beserker that's solo'd is about one in ten, absolutely no one got a cursed doom arty or a beserker's bardiche.

...I miss the old invasion system with beserkers that was here three weeks ago

And I've been hearing rumours that Invalis' Burchette only spawns once per shard, which really takes a bit out of the incentive to hunt the non-beserker spawn. Yeeesh.

As for those who say we should hunt the spawn in order to save the towns, well, there isn't much sense of accomplishment when the town will just get overrun again in two or so days. With so few beserkers and Invalis' Burchette apparently being a no show from here on, there isn't much incentive to go to Ophidian infested areas in Felucca to get ganked by the gank squads either.

Can't they at least spawn more than FIVE beserkers at most whenever an invasion portion is cleared? Some desperation tactic. Stupid ophidians.

This is just a guess, with regard to Inavlis's Burchete. I think that when an Ophidian Bardiche spawns on the corpse of a General or Major (or even Captain, I think), there is a high chance it'll be a Power Ophidian Bardiche, a lesser chance that it'll be a Vanquishing Ophidian Bardiche, a much lesser chance that it'll be a Mystic Ophidian Bardiche, and something along the lines of a 1-in-100 chance that it'll be an Inavlis Burchete. That's how it seems from experience, at least.

What I'm wondering is, how many of these things have actually spawned but just weren't looted because they were overlooked? It's not only possible, but very likely - given the number of people that I see killing spawn without even bothering to loot.

Dead on! Except for that last number for the Burchete - we won't be sharing that, except to say it's decently high. So just to be clear: this isn't a one-per-shard rare, it's just exceptionally rare.

... I say that, and yet someone got one the first day ^_^

Wish I could get a "Draconian Decent" paycheck from work!!!

Mayhaps if you worked "draconianly hard"
