I like how they've claimed to have solved the Smirking Stump / Yeti & Pepe respawn issue at least twice in the past, and it's still not fixed. (I also like how it's listed as two separate issues, when it's clearly one and the same, and probably applies to some other maps, too).
My guess is that the boss that spawns in the map, or its summons, are somehow not cleared from the active monster count when they die. So, when they test their "solution" by repeatedly killing Yeti&Pepe, the mobs keep respawning and all is well. But in the live servers, every time a Snowman is killed, the next Yeti&Pepe to be killed will not respawn.
Anyway. Unsurprisingly, once all the typos were dealt with and we reach the bugs that actually need looking at the code, the bug hunt slowed down considerably. Hopefully they won't abandon it.
