vinchon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Alright so isn't a Queen supposed to spawn out of a Tier 3 Den only? I just saw one pop right out of a Tier 1 Den, and the Den is still there after she pop out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ora Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 This has happened to me as well. I've wondered about it, but never posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furin Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think it only looks like a lvl 1 den, meaning she was already a queen when you got there. Because when the queen "hides" she looks like a lvl 1 nest. I did see a lvl 3 nest convert into a queen, like in the promo video, and last but not least I saw a queen revert back into a real lvl 1 nest.

vinchon Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 So she was "hiding"? Then is she suppose to leave behind a Tier 1 nest after popping out? If so that means they are going to keep multiplying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furin Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Well as far as I know, she can sit down and look like a lvl1 nest, just like the treeguard can look like a tree when not aggro, but she is still the queen then. But once I left behind a queen, came back the next day and she had become a "real" lvl1 nest, so perhaps that is her lifecycle? I am not too experienced with the spider queen but those are my observations so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the exact Tier 1 Den that she just pops out of each time I load it. So I reloaded it and went in quick this time and attacked the Den, and guess what it was a Tier 1 Den and not a Queen in hiding. So what is going on?

furin Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hmm, no idea then, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speerman84 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've seen this too. Not too sure what's going on, because when I return to the same area a few days later there is only one nest instead of what I assumed would be two. To be on the safe side, I've destroyed all spiders (except for the nests in the swamp) in my world. Took some serious time, but I think it was worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamawari Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Spider dens now have a complete life cycle. Lvl 3 dens/queens will migrate and turn into lvl 1 dens, like how large trees cycle to smaller trees eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lvl 1 den is turning into a Queen, and there is still a lvl 1 den where the Queen just transformed from. So basically that's 2 dens from 1.

w00tyd00d Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) We all know that, but that isn't the issue here. A lvl 1 den is turning into a Queen, and there is still a lvl 1 den where the Queen just transformed from. So basically that's 2 dens from 1.I had a queen (my only encounter so far) pop up out of a tier-3 den, but when she emerged there was a tier-1 den in her place, do you think it's a way of multiplying the eggs? Meaning it's PURPOSELY there? Because if you think about it, if only 1 egg drops from the spider queen (when you kill her) and from a tier-3 den, wouldn't they eventually become extinct if you keep killing the Queen and not-replanting her eggs? I'm thinking the tier-1 nest where she was originally located is supposed to be there and it's awesome that it is because now they spread like a plague. Not to mention one of the things Kevin mentioned for this update was "an increasing monster threat over time."EDIT: "Not to mention one of the things Kevin mentioned..." Yeah I know I caught it after I typed it...... Edited December 23, 2012 by w00tyd00d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinchon Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 If it was on purpose then it's kind of weirdly done. I would understand if she lays a den down or something. But the animation is her popping her limbs and head out of the den and roaming around, yet the den is still right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
