    Title: Troll Encounter
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No.
    Details: I'm putting this here because it needs attention. Please convert the troll encounter into a regular adventure zone! Now that daily quests are worth doing, there's always a line waiting to get into the troll encounter. It's absolutely not fun having to wait 15, 20, 30 minutes or more in order to get the troll toenails for the daily quest.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    User Specs:
    OS: Linux 5.6 64bit
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor (8) System RAM: 32101
    GPU: AMD RADV NAVI10 (LLVM 10.0.0) GPU RAM: 8192
    SotA.Linux.64.1190.Date.04.27.20
    Area: Novia
    Area Display Name: Novia
    Loc: (-61.7, 16.4, -335.5)

    Could also fix this by scrapping the forced multi player map.

    What's wrong with the "Invite to party" exploit?

    AFAIK, it was not fixed. I mean, we wait for a troll together, as a group. Once you are in an instance with the Troll Twins, everyone disbands the party. Afterwards, we all get a Troll Twins instance of our own in 1 minute. You must know this exploit?

    Pure sarcasm btw, it should not work this way, and I also would like an adventure zone for the troll twins.

    After one minute, you are sent to the overworld.

    I'd rather see them added to current scenes. Even maybe split up, so we work a little harder for that XP. Though, it does make it more annoying if you care less about the XP than the blessing. But there's already a few single trolls out there in scenes; I would imagine it wouldn't be too tough to just make them drop toenails.

    What is causing you to wait so long for the trolls? The roving encounter troll on the overworld is always spawned when Novia is reset and it respawns after 5 minutes.

    BMC ring, easy troll essences, daily quest NPC (bountry slip, prayer card, survey ticket), troll toenail quest, etc...

    Usually 2 or 3 players waiting when 20x quest exp is on.

    When a player activates the troll encounter on the overworld, the troll disappears, and doesn't respawn for five minutes. So there will often be a line of 3-4 players waiting for respawns. The troll spawns, the next player runs up to it and initiates the encounter, player disappears into encounter, and troll despawns from Novia. Wait 5 minutes, troll respawns, next player runs in. Rinse, repeat.
