    Title: Almost no ores spawning in Elysium Mines patch 840
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Yes, can't get ore
    Details:

    Scoff and I have tested this three times now with "fresh" instances on different characters
    Upon zoning into Ely on patch 839, ores were present as normal
    In 840, zoning in, there are NO ores in first cluster, and had to run to the fourth ore spot to find a SINGLE node.
    Standing in the scene a while, not seeing any thing pop in.
    Spawn rate has slowed to about 5% of normal
    Ran ENTIRE ore circuit (every cluster) and saw a total of FOUR ores and zero gems.
    This is very bad.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Go into the mine, witness that all the ores are gone.

    A guildmate reports this same phenomenon in spectral mines

    Monster spawns in both scenes seem unaffected

    Same phenomenon confirmed in Etceter Crag Mines -
    broke down several walls, killed monsters, ore chambers are EMPTY except for 1 lonely node on the second floor.

    Same thing Graff gem mines.

    Same thing in road encounter....

    All the ores are depleted!!!

    This problem is also occurring in tier 3 encounters. No ore, no trees, no plants. Well I did find 2 cotton plants in 4 or 5 encounters, but absolutely zero of everything else. This really needs fixed fast.

    Edit: Found a maple tree in Upper Fortus woohoo!
    Edit: Level 4 adventuring areas. I found *a* cotton plant. Nothing else.

    In Spectral Mines right now..thought it might have been intended but doesn't sound like it was, cause there's maybe a quarter of ore that was in here last night then there is right now and that made me super frustrated.

    Yeah I had the same issue seeing only 5 nodes on a full trial circuit. Interesting observation though.

    A friend of mine came into the mine and was looking around too. Once I teleported out after my circuit (I did not pull nodes during the circuit), nodes started to appear. No ore nodes were touched by my friend ever, just some gems.

    It feels like the spawn is broken?

    Yes, this is new as of 840. Brightbone Pass is very empty of harvestable nodes at the moment.

    Observation of a full run out at Wynton's Folly. The zone appears to start empty and node self destruct appears to be higher. Nodes at first appeared to instantiate one at a time, later, I was able to find groups of nodes to harvest. It is almost as if you need to enter a zone and wait for a period of time before starting to harvest now.
