Guild Wars 2

It would be nice to have some Tab somewhere to keep track of when World Bosses spawn and what type.

For instance, you open the TAB and it would tell you how much time is left for so and so World Boss to spawn.

ANet has been actively attempting to curb farming. A feature like this would literally have people jumping from world boss to world boss. Which they already do, but this would literally be them saying it’s ok.

…because they’re not already too much of a loot pinata?

Then nerf the loot. I just want to kill a dragon every now and then when I get a chance to play GW2 in my busy weekday.

Please?

As for farming and what not, just have the game drop nothing after X amount of excessive World Boss kills in a day.

Oh the DR people would love that response. They already are having more than enough of a fun time assuming ANet is out there only to spoil their fun.

I’d say yes to this, if only to shutup the constant spam of “ETA on dragon” in the public chat. Like I said, these guys need a huge neon signboard with a countdown timer…

Exactly.

Anyways, there’s a REDDIT post about my thread’s topic on the front page of GW2 REDDIT.

Arenanet pls.

No offense, but this is one of the worst suggestions I’ve read on here.

It’s not enough that the events repeat ad nauseum, or that the respawn times on some creatures is redicilous, but now you want the game to just hand you everything on a silver platter?

Why not suggest that the world bosses just spawn every 5 minutes. Why not just make a world where all the world bosses can be chosen via a push button?

That sucks that you don’t have a lot of time to play, but knowing when the boss will spawn will not help you, or anyone. Fighting a world boss should be an epic and special event. It should never be on a timer in the first place. It should be something that just happens and if the players are around to experience it, then that’s awesome.

Oh, and a simple solution to the world ETA spam….make world boss spawn times random. Simple as that. Put this in the patch notes:

“World boss spawn times are now set on random timers.”

The programming would be easy. Once a world boss has spawned, it must have at least a one hour cool down, but then will spawn randomly anytime between one and four hours. Wanna make it even more awesome? Make the spawn points random.

Want to make it ultimate and super amazing? Have the events that lead up to a world boss have random outcomes. Sometimes it will trigger the boos, sometimes another event.

@ Crazylegsmurphy- I couldn’t agree more.

I would honestly prefer it if the world bosses were more random, I would even like it if they moved from place to place. It doesn’t have to be by much.

As an aside- It would also be awesome if a big event could actually fail and you had a huge critter terrorizing the countryside.

Atm as it is all you see in Frostgorge Sound, Sparkfly Fen and Blazeridge Steppes is ETA Dragon??
It kills all other DE’s on the map.

What the hell are you on about? Are you confused?

I just want a little dedicated tab somewhere to keep tabs on the WORLD BOSSES that are about to spawn. That’s all. No silver platter w/e you are on about.

Fundamentally, something as an announcement to notify players when a world boss is about to spawn.

I basically want this:http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/henge-of-denravi/

Built into the game as it should be.

I understand what you want. Do you understand how that would take an already overly predictable event, and suck any last bit of excitement out of it?

Why not have the game send you a text message when the world bosses are about to show up? That way you don’t even have to wast time playing the game.

here is a boss tracker http://www.gw2es.com

Try www.gw2stuff.com

Uses the APIs provided by anet to let you track the bosses. Plus they even have a very nice overlay that works very well and unlike temple timers actually tracks all the world boars and temples. Even has a nice grid layout I’d you want to guest to an open temple

backsnap is just advertising his (?) site to dead threads. No living one would ask for such well-known things.

I’d like to see a couple of global chat channels. No need for timers of any kind.
