It feels like just yesterday when the Manibus Scenario was in full swing and I received reports of the gigantic creature emerging from the skies well ahead of schedule. It turns out that — apparently by accident — the Manibus was spawning too early.
Well, it may have happened again. I wrote an article on where to find the Snowsprite Deviation and, spoiler alert, the best way to find one is by taking down a Chaosweaver. Now that the article is out there for all to see, including a few of the Chaosweaver spawn locations, this gigantic entity has mysteriously vanished from the game.
Now it’s up to players and journalists alike to speculate on whether the Chaosweaver has indeed been removed until Phase 2, or whether the spawn time on these beasts is just extraordinarily long.
Judging from in-game chatter, the Way of Winter scenario has been met with a mostly warm reception (get it?). Players seem to be satisfied with the new experience, despite early frustration on learning to deal with the temperature system (it got really cold, really fast).
One of the main complaints currently seems to be the lack of good looting spots for tier-three materials, but with new crops, animals, locations, enemies, and bosses, this is a rather small compromise to make in my humble opinion.
For now, the question remains whether the Chaosweaver spawns will return before Phase Two, which starts on Thursday, 24 October for the first set of Way of Winter servers. The Way of Winter is set to last for 35 days, after which no one is quite sure what’s next on the cards for Once Human.
Though more speculation here is that we’ll receive hard servers on which to repeat the Way of Winter a second time for boosted rewards, given that it took the developers four months to release a new scenario after the start of the first, this is a likely case.
Only time will tell.
