Guild Wars 2

With the current world boss timer system but respective event chains still active, a part of the gameplay became really messy: you have to open a browser page with a schedule each time you want to do a world boss, then find a time, then convert to your timezone while taking account of DST. Or you may waste time on doing a pre-event chain for abysmal reward which ends with nothing simply because you didn’t know that bosses were changed.

I’m pretty sure at some point someone will rewrite gw2stuff.com to display active world bosses, but playing a XXI century game with a clock and a paper is not really fun.

That said, I would like to suggest a way to display active and upcoming world bosses in game. Possible options are:

• Event Tracker on the right side of the screen which can be clicked to display a complete schedule in your time zone and current/upcoming bosses.
• Asura News Stone inventory item which basicaly does the same.
• Event Fairy/Event Golem – a summonable NPC which can tell you what’s happening in the world.

In the meanwhile, I would appreciate it we at least had an official AJAX webpage with live schedule.

This way people who’re not used to digging up forums will at least be able to plan and organise – just like you wanted them to when you were talking about the megaserver system.

P.S. I’m opposed to the new fixed world boss schedule as a whole as it leads to zerging and lack of choice, but since it’s not going to be changed, I’m looking for ways to make it less frustrating.

P.P.S. I hope this topic deserves a separate thread, but if doesn’t – well, so be it.

I’d like an event fairy.
One that shouts “Hey! Listen!” every time a World boss is going to come up.

Maaan! I remember from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, you could have a Fairie Familiar who would say there’s something “funny about this wall” (or something) whenever you were close to a secret passage hidden by a breakable wall.

+1 for the Fairy!

I love it. Another suggestion I could give since we already have achievement tabs for most bosses. Put their timers/activation in there with the option to add it to our watchlist.

I don’t see much point :/ People that enjoy these new zergevents will have memorised the 2-3 bosses that match their play time in matter of days. And temple events are not trackeable since the megaserver doesn’t know in which ‘shard’ you will end up.
