Has Blizz stopped spawning? I haven't logged in for a few days, so I figured if I went into wastelands today, a Blizz would spawn on my personal timer for sure. However, after travelling like 1/3rd of wastelands on smp8, I didn't get a single notification of any existing or new Blizz's (or turkeys or marlixes or momentuses, though I have Miniboss spawns turned off but I usually see leftover ones). Does the 3-hour timer imply that once every 3 hours, a Blizz spawns on your personal timer, regardless of where you are? E.g. if I've been in town or even offline, every 3 hours, a Blizz "spawns" (or the timer marks itself as "spawned"), meaning that if I go out anytime between the 3-hour marks, I won't find a Blizz? That would also explain why the first two days of hunting yielded a handful of Blizz's for me despite the wastelands being deserted during the short time I was out--I wasn't hunting my own Blizz's, but Blizz's on others' timers e.g. people who were in town but had their 3-hour timer activate and spawn a Blizz randomly in the wastelands...
Each server (excluding Town, so the Wild and Frontier) has a timer of 30 minutes. Each player has a personal timer of 2 hours. When the 30 minute timer is up, a player is picked at random to have a Blizz spawn near them. If that player's 2 hour timer has not finished, then that 30 minute timer will be voided. It will not go a different player, the 30 minute timer will just restart.
I didn't know what this mob did when the chat message appeared, so I looked it up in the wiki. I was at half a heart and starving, but since the wiki said it was harmless I thought I could kill it no problem. Well... :/
Last year it did no damage to the player, only armour. This year it was changed. I guess the wiki wasn't up to date.
