Congrats to everyone catching a jaira!
The times have been random ever since the mech update. Before the update it remained in the time frame of 12-2, now its just everywhere. One commonality though is that the captures are still mostly in mapID 00. (Note: i did say CAPTURES, not most spawns.)
Two Theories on this, and it is a theory so don't be bashing me for voicing an idea:
1. Most reports are from 00 and thus most hunters hunt in 00. Thus, less people are in the higher maps.
2. Nexon implemented a "1st come 1st serve" rule. Which explains why if someone is in map00 you move to map01. If there were one person per map, all of which remained still and didnt cc, no one else would be able to get to 00. People who didn't come "1st" still have a chance at jaira but it is just less frequent in the higher maps.
Anyways, we can look at these captures as making jaira hunting easier and harder at the same time. It's easier for some because now they might find jaira within their own time and won't have to stay up all night looking for him/her. It's harder because, well, now he can spawn any time so either you're lucky or you'll have to wait for hours and hours.
Good luck to everyone!
