I’ve organized / coordinated boss blitz twice now (for several runs each) entirely with pugs, so these flaws stood out a lot more than others for me.
Message Suppressed
This being the only medium to get my instructions and information out during the event, you sure try to make it as hard as possible for me by suppressing my messages all the time.
I need on a constant basis explain in map chat what we all need to do. Along with doing headcounts, saying the current progress on a current boss’s health and so on. So many of these messages will sound similar to each other, triggering your anti-spam feature.
Maybe having a player with the commander tag not being able to be affected by this and only in map chat. Or severely increase the limit before the anti spam thing kicks in if you have a tag on. This is the only way for me to keep informing the pugs and this system needs to be improved.
Boss Health
Plain and simple. If it’s a map event you need to co-operate in. At the very least, display the health of all the bosses in the map. Having players constantly report a boss’s health periodically in map chat is just so very inconvenient. Fix it.
Gathering
There has to be a more simple way to gather players that wish to coordinate an event by ingame tools without having to rely on outside communities. You keep increasing the coordination / organization difficulty every time, yet your means to gather and organize haven’t improved at all. I had to on a constant basis keep asking in map chat if there were players with tags that could tag up for an organized boss blitz.
Along with constantly posting a LFG with ‘need more commanders for organized boss blitz’. This alone, took on an average of 1 hour and 2 hours each to gather the 6 commander tags to run this as smoothly as possible by using your in game tools.
That’s simply not acceptable and ridiculous. Your events are open world, not instanced. So you clearly intended them to be able to be completed by pugs. The events are getting harder and harder to coordinate, yet you’re doing nothing to improve your ingame tools to keep up with the increased difficulty. That simply just won’t work.
