Baark0 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 I swear I've had like 10+ worm waves combined on a 600+ day world and a 2,700 day world, yet no GDW has spawned. The amount of things I've heard regarding this boss's spawn is starting to make it sound like Mew and the truck. Why is a boss with such mid loot so rare? I don't even care about the drops, I just want the bestiary entry and Winter's Feast ornament. Update: I have spent almost 200 minutes sitting in the caves waiting for GDW to spawn. I have worm waves set to max, and have gotten 3 waves total so far. I even went and killed Toadstool with my shadow maul. My sanity is slipping away by the minute. Don't send help, send the greater depths worm, please.

Anis5240 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 Yes, but you have to spend 2 consecutive hours in the caves. No going back out to surface. Damn thing is still bugged.

Bumber64 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 Have you been quitting between waves? There's a bug that can cause the chance to reset to 0% whenever you do that. You would've had to do those 10+ waves in a single game session at Default to guarantee an appearance. You pretty much need to set the frequency to Always to get one if you aren't planning to stand around the caves for hours at a time. Even at Always, the first wave from loading the game will never have the GDW, because the scheduled one gets downgraded on load.

Brotid01 Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 Spoiler "There is no Greater Depths Worm in DST" That's why I asked for balance the spawn chance based on how progress you have on the caves instead of how old the server + RNG. For newbies who are pretty much liketly to explore the caves after a few seasons keeping the spawn low is good so they can learn the basics of how to survive down there until they're ready for bigger challenges. The only downside are the tryhards, who are gonna yell no matter what, but meh "collateral damage", since they’re gonna rush caves/progress faster anyways they’re gonna start increasing the spawn chance quicker so they can have their Dark souls challenge without the new players getting in the way. On the other hand the spawn chance could be a bug, I'm quite pessimist this year about this game so meh.

SilverSpoon Posted January 1, 2025 Share Posted January 1, 2025 Considering how broken and unfair the big worm boi is right now, not spawning is not a bug, it's a balancing.

Why? Because Klei’s break isn’t just accounting for Christmas, it counts all holidays during the months of December/January. They’ll be back during the Second Week of January. Which I imagine will be when we will also be getting details about the Year of the Snake Event. (Late January or Early February) AND the much anticipated 2025 Content Roadmap.

Lovens Posted January 3, 2025 Share Posted January 3, 2025 I wonder what will they add for Year Of The Snake event. Clearly it's not a coincidence we got GDW added shortly before it. I would be surprised if they won't address his spawn rate before YOTS event.

And fixing things like that (alongside adding new things like the beta skill trees) takes time, so just give ‘em time.
