Fearstone named mob woes

I've been killing in fearstone trying to get some names to spawn, and i am having the most awful luck. I estimate that ive killed around 30 PHs, and no names, and this does not seem right to me

basically i figure either:

1) the name spawn rate is intentional
2) im killing the wrong mobs
3) i actually have to do something special to get these names to spawn
4) this is unintentional and something happened with the spawn rate

the names in question are Orcwrangler Khizalhk and the frilakh quarrymaster --- this has NOTHING to do with castle names (ive never had issues there)

please provide advice relevant to helping me get names and/or experiences with killing these names in fearstone
 
I tried to kill the king of the hill + those two and the named in the smithy on an alt a while back, spent half a day leveling in the zone and never had a single one spawn. Felt pretty shitty.

Unless there is some magic involved in spawning them I was pretty positive where they spawned from having seen them before but even then I was basically killing the entire zone.
 
yeah that is pretty much the experience i have had before, too, when i slaughtered stuff with Rykke and then on another alt

this is the third time around i mean efffff
 
When i was leveling poison making i would just run to fearstone and murder it in one pull, i did this atleast 30+ times and only named i ever saw was the one at the top of the castle the commader guy and the MQ guy and his PH in the throne room, i had no idea there was other named heh
 
it does indeed appear to be anti-camp code, i killed a few mobs, left, came back, killed a few more, left, and boom name pop
 
That sounds like some awful serious anti-camping code that punishes people xping in the zone more than farmers. Hopefully it is all a misunderstanding from limited testing or something.

you silly, eitherway the reason I suggested that was because the one time i remember seeing spawns i am pretty sure I was playing lowbies with aytewi and we had like 4 baddies in the zone

Decided to take a look; nothing special going on, anything that spawns within a given area has a 25% chance of spawning a named in its place and depoping itself. It is done weird though, no real reason for them to be checking for an area when the areas only have 1 spawn point in them, which always has the same exact loc. Also the king of the hill's area might have the wrong numbers and so not have any spawn points in the area being checked for, hard to say. Two other ones look fine though.

So what you're saying is, one specific "ph" has to be killed, and upon its respawn there is a 25% chance of the named popping in a different location? if this is the case then a lot of people have seriously bad RNG (those rogues who have slaughtered the zone many times over and seen nothing)

also KotH was killed yesterday by a buddy of mine, still doesnt change the fact that it (like orcwrangler and quarrymaster) is bizarrely rare

I cleaned about 8 cycles of the cave/orc area (presumably where one of em spawns) with some lv 14ish toons and didn't see anything.
 
so i got orcwrangler ph/named 4 times in a row today, but then nothing at all

i also think there is something strange with a spawn by where the obese frilakh is supposed to spawn --- it is not the ph for Obese, yet sometimes it spawns and sometimes it doesnt. what gives? killing it over and over will not spawn Obese either

I just did 4 clears of the zone with Rykke, and not a single named or a PH for a named (the named does not always spawn in its location, sometimes a trash mob spawns in its place). There are 4 mobs that people rarely see (quarrymaster, Orcwrangler, Obese, KotH), and if they (or their PH) have a 25% chance of spawning, then does that mean 0 pops in 4 clears = .75^16 chance? meaning about 1% chance of occurring? If this is the case, either I (and everyone else) have horrible horrible RNG, or something is wrong

Even if i was just trying to get one named to spawn, and not just any of the four, this would still be not very good luck

EDIT: 5 clears, zero special pops: supposedly about 0.31% chance of that happening. something else I noticed was that a spawn in the big tent (mentioned in a previous post, separate from the Obese spawn) never pops, and a random trash in the bladeforger's house has a spawn time that is twice as long as all other trash, despite having no named attached to it (unless it is connected to the "special" named)
