That's an awful idea, it turns killing the world boss from patience into a race between guilds (which sometimes it already is ie. what happened yesterday with PPK)

I think the point I (the guildie he mentioned) was getting at for this idea would be just a way to alert people that its up so that people can get there before its totally gone. The same guilds would still get it who already do, and there are already fights. Nothing would change except for the fact that people would get the chance to get there before it was killed and looted.

1 channel in Xav, i like it. Let the bots fight over dog meats. If you dont like the dailies with so many in one channel.. Well party up. I mean that is why fly shares in a party. Dont noob answer of "BUT MY TPS!!!!" cause at this point... lol.

i like the idea of the corpse of Wodjin being around for a longer time. An hour maybe too much. A world message to say he has spawned then like a 20 minute corpse cool down. This prevents the stats from being massively farmed more then they are (dont think people didnt think that would be something people wanted as a guise of something else). Yet it doesnt make it so horrid for people getting their elites.

See world message, get there in 10-40 minutes before corpse goes away. No need for more channels or more spawns per 3 days.

I think there should be sent a message across servers when a boss dies instead of when the boss spawns, people sit there waiting for when it does spawn. That message would ruin the whole idea of patience, most if not all guilds are willing to hold the bosses for everyone as is. And notifying people of when the boss spawns is bad when certain guilds cough DL cough have been known to try and steal bosses from other guilds while they're up like they did from SJ I think two times now.

I like the idea of having a NPC that appears similar to Krolin though (maybe have it stay up until a normal hippo spawns so 6~9 hours), that'd solve a lot of problems for people.

As far as stats/equipment goes, less channels makes it pretty awful, if everyone wanted the set in the 5 or so guilds on Artemis (which why wouldn't they, it's the best set) you're looking at 100+ people, 3 pieces per person, 5 Proof each..

100 x 3 x 5 = 1500 Proof, 10-15 per boss... 150 bosses or 100 bosses, these are pretty idealistic values (I suspect the number of people is a little on the low side) but with Mandara having one channel you're looking at 4 possibly 5 bosses that are doable if someone does Lagusen. Every 72 hours so ~100/4 or 100/5 = 25 or 20 then multiply that by 3 days and you get 60~75 days for the server to all be geared IF and only IF they're not pulling just for stats and they're taking the first piece of gear they get.

No guild or player owns a boss, and seeing as you cannot place a boss in your backpack, bank, house chest, or guild vault... I don't think this is possible. If you take too long to prepare, and another guild/player is faster, just give them their due congratulations at being better at RoM than you and yours, and move on

I would probably feel differently if you had to do a lot of work to get a boss to spawn in the first place, then someone else could come in and tag it after you did all of the work. As it is, the only work required is waiting... unless you mean you took the time to "bug" the boss, in which case that is an exploit so doubt anyone will feel sorry for you there.

Not sure what difference would make to have 3 instead of 1 channels everywhere. Short on servers?

When I say steal I mean SJ was fighting the boss got the boss down by quite a bit and DL taunted it away (because you know taunt puts you at the top of the aggro meter), you can reset world bosses that way and you're likely to get the people fighting the boss killed. Think that I said something about that in another topic, it's how the game mechanics work, it makes sense inside an instance but on a World Boss, not so much. You can completely prevent other guilds from being able to take the boss at all with the use of certain skills.

If it were as easy as one guild being more prepped than the others I don't think it's ever really an issue.

Anytime they hast had major game crashin issues they hast reduced us ter one channel, which really do help. Sadly, this time, me no experienced such an issue, so they may be tryin ter conserve some energy, which in turn doth equal money.

New areas means bandwidth needing to be opened. When they find some areas need less then can move them to others to give those areas more channels to support a larger load.

Course they could also just be trying to trim server usage for something like... ummm ... Tera.

Shout out to the player who used a buff on the player holding Spider Priestess preventing half of TBT from getting it when siege ended.

Ty SJ for attempting to hold it.


Problem yet?

Ok, if we need to cut down channels in some places, can we not pick zones with high value worldbosses and high-value dailies?

Like, say, Xaviera and LoM?

Cause it is causing major issues, even on a server as unpopulated as Palenque. And we don't have massive wars over worldbosses (yet).

Whoever came up with the whole "let's make this Proof of Legend gear the best side set in the game, and then let's cut the available worldbosses to 4 and then let's nerf the amount of Proofs they drop, and then let's make their corpses needed for elites skills and then let's sit back and watch the servers explode with endless QQ while we laugh our (censored before Dellenn can get here)'s off, YOU GOT TROLLED ROM MWHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" adolescent (censored again, let's say "bullcrap"), deserves to be tossed off the side of Runewaker HQ.

And as to Xaviera, my husbands entire RoM career consists of farming dogs. He doesn't like questing, he's never been in an instance past NoM, all he wants to do is farm his doggies for an hour a day, and now he can't, cause three BILLION people are there.

People leveling still need that area. Heck, I need three channels in Xaviera, cheap daily tickets and double XP to get my warmage done, can you not arrange that???

If conserving bandwidth is an issue, can we not pick crapola zones no one ever goes to? Like Limo? Or Sascillia? Logar? Elven Island? Ravenfell? Savage Lands?

Or if those already have only one channel, sheesh, can you not just shell out for the extra four channels??? THIS IS CAUSING MAJOR HEADACHES.

Yeah this was cool of SJ to do, we all actually left siege to get our proof, went back in and pulled out a win despite being ADHD squirrels. The first 15 minutes of siege was "is the boss down yet". I think it actually threw off our opponent. Got my elite, but seriously still have 2 more to go and still not happy with the situation.

Core does the same thing on osha, according to one of their guild members greenthing is the world boss boss of osha, so if he feels like stealing it they all blindly follow even after killing it on 2 other channels first

LOL Same here. When it got downed, "Someone take my merits?" "Who's staying in siege?" "Everyone meet in the castle to pass merits." "Well some people have to stay."

Then the people who decided to be heroes and stay didn't get to use their beacon.
