Guild Wars 2

Add a optional window feature to track World Bosses. With box click options to pick which Bosses to track (like daily options). Shatterer, Tequatl, Jormag, Jungle Worm, Maw, Fire Elemental, and MegaDestoyer. Orr Temples are easily indicated by map, no need for them to be included.

Getting tired of mistaken timer resets and/or an potential enemy server player intentionally resetting them at the wrong time.

An optional on/off in options or some other presented method, for a window (that can be minimized, like the latest, excellent UI options) which i feel would possibly be better than a World Map view with Icons per Moss @ location with mouse-over Timer pop up. window or map feature would be fine. I just think a window would be less draining on map actions and possible potential for lag than a map icon with a mouse-over pop up window. but I leave that decision for the professionals.

Please. Thank you. Thank you for considering it.

[repeated line, to Ted and Elaine]
Rumack: I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

the fact is that we are not supposed to track world event all day, we will be punished for our greediness. they did with all the event that were overfarmed/failed on purpose to farm

Reward Updates
Fixed a bug on certain world boss chests that was causing them to drop fewer rewards than intended. These chests can now only be looted once per day, to encourage players to fight multiple bosses and spread out across the world.

An in-game, optional window would allow for more easy use of time to spend doing other aspects of in game content, when world bosses don’t have their spawn window open. When all your alts are rank 80 and motivation is Precursors & nothing else (until next big content addition)….
Not to mention, the potential less chat in /map “when is the boss?” to tax server cpu ability.

+edit: I suspect mutli Mesmer quickness bubbles is causing some lag during world boss fights. sooo many calculations, among aoes, buffs, etc. That’s a more severe issue, the lag. Seen a few boss fights with Mesmer Illusion/Phantom/Clone attacking the boss in mid-air attacking the boss head. 0o Zergs at bosses are getting messy. Had Legendary weapons still only been cosmetic option, perhaps more people would be doing other content, but with Legendary weapons being the top available weapon (best available stats) over the life of the game, it is now a more desirable item to get.

Or they could just make a system similar to the heralds in nearby areas and major cities. This would add a little character to the world and we wouldn’t have to clutter up the UI.

Herald is an option to consider, but for me, I don’t see the UI being cluttered at all. They did a good job with options to minimize windows of text without using backgounds (solid colors) in each window when they are open. The check boxes was a great idea, and the resulting screen’s upper-right text is a good option to use or not use.

My suggestion is an use or not use option. If they were to implement the option, I suspect it’d not be a window like the TP. It’d be a option like tracking Daily progress by checking boxes to choose which boss to track, or not check a box and it’d not be on screen at all.

If in Hero window, among the achievements (including Daily; they made all achievements with check boxes to track if you choose to), is a world bosses listing, that when clicked, opened a list. Check the boss that you want to track, and you get the upper-right text with timer info. A countdown timer till the next window of potential spawn. (like the dragontimer site does without potential of mistakes by users) Once the boss is defeated, the timer restarts.

another theory of world boss lag: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Solution-to-the-dragon-event-guesting/first#post1558725

Well… We are not suppose to know when the dragons are coming anyway, that’s why its called a dynamic event, not a static one

apply a brick to the head? is that the reply? (See nothing. Hear nothing. Say nothing.) where is the… can you provide a link to this position that may have been expressed in the past by Anet? or have they hired unofficial spokespersons to ignore the organic elements of the internet relate to to GW2?

When they changed Legendary weapons from Cosmetic to highest stat possible weapons at the unspecific point in time they decide to increase stats of a Legendary weapons? Past postures and statements are…. ? 0o subject to change? …which leads one to suggest stuff potentially prompted by changes that may or may not lead to change. One example of change that I feel compelled to mention, when anyone says the equivalent of, “in the past, it was said that _ _ _.” Which is not intended to drive a wedge, but merely to express elements that may or may not be shared through replies that are seemingly short. Are the events I suggest a timer for and Dragon Timer website has a timer for, not based on timers? Which begin the chance to start the meta event? (some with pre-events some without)

I’m remembering that a LFG "window"* may be added to the game to end the usefullness of GW2LFG site…. 0o

Before the break with immersion card is played, the idea I suggest is not different from existing Achievements. Check Box, see relative information in upper-right corner of screen, or not check box, see nothing on screen.

PS: FYI, I’m preparing bookmarks of images from Ren & Stimpy that may express myself visually at some point in the future.

*window-a new window or integrated into an existing window. including and not limited to the Hero window. AKA: Panel. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hero_panel http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Contacts_panel http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_panel

PS: Can an account that guests onto other servers be examined for the singular purpose of farming World Boss Event Chests for causing overflow and/or lag? Perhaps a restriction upon guests per World Boss Loot from Chest may be explored in order to prevent Lag and/or overflow creation? (It’s not like World Bosses need more players to participate to succeed; i f they do…. perhaps it’s time to consider a sever merger or migration from an ending a server?)
