How often is d-clone spawning now?

Last night before I went to bed, I checked all three regions and their d-clone status. This morning I woke up and checked and they were all still at the same status as they were last night.

I know it’s still very early in 2.4 but I’m wondering how often he has already spawned and how often we can expect him to spawn.

I can only speak to Americas region.

I think he spawned 2 to 4 times over the weekend.

I caught a spawn Saturday night right as I was wrapping up for bed and then signed off. I idled and got another Sunday night and had Dclone waiting on Monday morning.

I think there was a second Saturday night after I went to bed based on some of the threads but I didn’t think to idle so I missed out.

Not sure if there was anything Friday night, but there wasn’t last night (Monday night).

It makes sense that people aren’t selling off a lot of SoJ or playing at much in general on week nights though, so I’m not sure if there was an initial surge with 2.4 that had already died off, people are just waiting for the weekend to play more, or what.

People might be using up NL SoJs before ladder starts which would be cool to get more spawns.

In theory Blizz could be editing the requirements in real time in the backend without announcing it also but since it hasn’t moved off of the first stage even I suspect we’re not there yet.

I got three annis since the patch. I think there was one I missed. All on Americas. I don’t think Asia or EU spawned one yet. EU maybe?

There was about 4 or 5 spawn this weekend on america/nonladder/xpak. I don’t expect much Dclone spawns during the week. We will see next weekend but I don’t think it’s going to be better than what we had this weekend.

He actually just spawned on Asia about 15-20 minutes ago. I was able to get two kills. I gotta say, I thought he would have been tougher. One drop was a 17/20/8 which I’m very happy with. :slight_smile:

With these numbers, they will need to nerf the dclone spawn rate… I’m betting NL is just getting a short supercharge of them before ladder rolls around.

What is happening is 6 months of stock is getting used. With the soj counters separate between nl and ladder, it won’t be spawning as much on ladder.

Asia just popped. America did about 3 days ago.

Thanks to diablo2(dot)io/dclonetracker, I now have 4 bright shiny ani’s… :smiley:

Soon, they’ll be less valuable than any hellfire torch…

BTW, if u use that tracker - when the status hits “4 - Terror spreads across Sanctuary” get in the game immediately. On both occasions, status moved from 4 to 6 (Diablo walks the earth) in about 5 minutes.

Today asia sat on 4/6 for 7 hours and then moved from 5/6 to 6/6 in about 3 minutes, it was fast :grimacing:

Yeah I just barely caught that one, got a 18/20/8 outta it though :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks. I’m on central US time, so when I got up this morning, it was on 4, so I quickly got both my computers on Asia, and was in games just as DC spawned.

The movement of the Americas server on the 16th of April (~1545 central) definitely went from 3 to 6 in about 5 minutes total.

Obviously, there’s someone out there with a plan. And a ton of SOJ’s… :smiley:

According to the unreliable tracker, he already spawned on Asia. :(. And half an hour ago it was still at 4/6. :frowning:

yeah the one from last week was super fast. maybe it was a coordinated effort, people dumping their SOJs before ladder :slightly_smiling_face:

He has not appeared in one of my games yet - of course I play offline and have not yet found and SoJ let alone an extra one.

There have been four on Americas that I know of.

Make a build that specialises in mfing Nightmare Andarial. I did these runs over a space of 10 days and got myself 6 SoJ’s. Use 1 SoJ per game to spawn DClone :+1:

Aka cold sorc hah
Or what did you use? Did you find a way to make it faster than cold sorc? Or any sorc, really.

I’m Literally giving them away at this point

i imagine the first weekend would have a higher rate but maybe thats wrong. It’ll be interesting to see what happens this weekend.
