Respected to Eater influence and barely getting any totem now?

I respected to the Eater of World earlier today, and I'm barely getting any totems, or they don't show up at all. Before I respect into the Searing from Eater of World to complete the Achievement, I was getting quite a few totem per maps, but now one or two show up at the beginning of the map, and another one at the very end when there's barely any mob left.

I just had two maps without any totem spawn at all, is that intended?

Anyone else having this issue? Or did they already nerf this mechanic to the ground?


I used the /bug to fill a bug number on one of the two maps I didn't get any totem at all.

Are you using Scarabs?

Yes with and without, I hoped servers tried several map with the same result then I ran the Canyon map and more than 0~2~3 totems started to spawned.

I didn't do anything special before, I just ran maps to get the 30/30 beacon achievement and a bunch of totems spawned.

It's me who don't understand the mechanic and there's something to do to make more totem spawn?

There are only so many places "stuff" can spawn in maps.

The more "stuff" you force to spawn, the more competion over those few places is going to happen and some "stuff" will be culled as a result.
Ergo, if you want to farm altars stop juicing your maps too much.

Also dont use Elder/Shaper scarabs at all since those count as an influence and will overwrite Exarch/Eater influence, meaning you cant drop the influence items, curreny or encounter altars.

Yes, I'm aware other influence prevent the Eater/Searing influence to show up, it's not an issue with that. I didn't juice my map through the roof, I just used a rusted with the occasional polished ambush scarab here and there, and the occasional beyond craft to double Beyond the map; just like I did before respecting to Searing influence, and while farming searing influence just before repsecting to Eater again. I've ran 3 rusted scarabs with double beyond in Crimson Temple with the Searing influence and the Totems spawned everywhere. The beach map that spawned 0 totem had like 1 rusted scarab or a ambush craft, if I remember well, nothing more.

If it's an issue with the maps having a cap to how many mechanic can spawn, maybe it's time to show us when/if we capped the number of mechanic.



My client downloaded two small updates between last night after a posted here and this morning. I just ran Burial chamber with a rusted ambush scarab a polished Harbinger and beyond, and more than 1~3 totem showed up, so go figure.

This is the issue, hence why I asked about Scarabs.
They will never tell us how/when this happens.
