Curge Surges have been hotfixed and now spawn every 30 minutes. Curse Surges Guide
Since its release in Patch 12.1, many players have criticized Curse Surges for their spawning cadence and the immense amount of time that would have been needed to complete the Cursebreaker achievement. Originally requiring 300 Curse Surges, and with a Curse Surge spawning every 45 minutes, this would have taken over 100 hours to complete normally. This was eventually reduced to 150 Curse Surges in a hotfix, but that would still take over 50 hours. With Curse Surges only spawning every 45 minutes, this also meant that the weekly quests Turn Back the Surge would take at least 90 minutes to complete.
Another hotfix has been pushed to live servers, which makes Curse Surges spawn every 30 minutes (down from 45 minutes). This makes Curse Surges occur 33% more frequently, which is nice, but having any cooldown time is likely still going to frustrate players. When compared to the Vaults of Atal'Utek where there is always something to do, Curse Surges have a lot of downtime.
Attaining Cursebreaker will now be even faster, but it's still a long grind for achievement hunters.
