Guild Wars 2

It will be a nice addition /change to the game if the zone bosses will move around the whole zone when they are on. Lets say thet every time their health is getting 20% lower, they will fly away in another part of the map.
Players who were fighting it will follow him in that direction, plus new players will join the fight because they didn’t even know the boss was on or they couldn’t run there too fast

In this way, the zone boss fights will actually be zone wide and many players will enjoy it.

Of course, due to different reasons, some bosses, not all, might not be able to fly / run whole map, but I see no reason why they need to stay just in one place during the whole fight. A Boss loosing health is a scared boss and it is more natural to run away then just stay there getting hit.

To make this even more exiting, the places where it will fly away are scripted, but the order in which it goes to them will be random. Also, the “checkpoints” in its life bar which trigger moving / flying to different locations can be randomized between 3 to 8, so sometimes the boss will fly three times, other times 8.

For those who remember, think of the Lost Shore event where the Ancient Kraka ran the whole map and people were following it around. This system was awesome.
Imagine if all the zone bosses will do the same from Behemot and Fire Elemental, till Shaterer and Jormag

I can see positives and negatives in this. Sure, it would be exciting, but one of the issues of not having enough people in certain zones at certain hours make this risky. Because as it stands now, if the boss is in one place, I can avoid the boss if there aren’t enough people to take it down, which is sometimes the case.

I live in Australia, so during the times I play, there are often less people around in any given zone. By keeping the bosses localized, you give people like me a chance to play the rest of the game.

It works for a well advertised event, because there are enough people for it to work for.

I do agree it would be exciting when it did work, but I think the cons may outweigh the pros.

There are loads of lesser champ bosses who should also move around from their spawn-point too.

There’s little motivation to fight a threat that stays in its cave / nook the entire time.
