Guild Wars 2

So I was recently doing the world boss train, using the list provided to us by Anet over here as well as the one over on Dulfy’s site …When I noticed something interesting. There are world bosses missing from the list. on Both lists.

I know some of you might be thinking “wait there’s more? how can there be more?” but there is. As far as I can tell there are at 4 world bosses that are missing from the line up. (Not counting temples here) Just what are these 4 world bosses? The Eye of Zhaitan event in Straits of Devistation, the Ogre Wars event in Fields of Ruin, the Flame Shaman in Iron Marches, and the Dredge Commissar in Dredgehaunt Cliffs.

Was there a reason why these events were left out? Pre events to much to handle for the player base to get through? That seems unlikely as I was able to solo most of the pre events for Eye of Z. I only started calling for other players as I was running the escort event, to which only a handful of players showed up (probably just the guys in the zone at the time). It gives a reward chest, and a daily chest. Why is it left off the list?

I can understand why Ogre wars might have been left out. The cool down on that event is really long. That said so was Taidha’s before they changed it. (Now its 3 hours as apposed to ~8) So why not give the ogres some love? That event has several champions in it and the ogres in the event have the potential to drop t2 and t3 items (Such as Wool and Cotton for those tailors in the house working on Damask, Hint hint.)

And last on the list is the Flame Shaman. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone there at random hours and its been up. He is almost NEVER killed yet he is a world boss as well. Why is he forgotten so easily? All day long he just beats the snot out of that handful of charr. All by himself. No one ever goes to fight him. Yet he can potentially be soloed by anyone determined enough to bother. (I’ve soloed and duoed him on numerous occasions.)

Why is it that these 4 bosses slipped through the cracks? Why not try and figure a way of sticking them on that list? It might not be much but that is at least 4 more yellows a day if not more.

(I don’t have any pics of the Ogre Wars events as they were not up when I went there, and I didn’t feel like waiting around for most of the day. I didn’t bother killing the Flame Shaman because it takes forever to do solo.)

Thanks to Hyper Cutter for pointing out the Dredge as I simply forgot about him (To many bad memories of mapping Dredgehaunt Cliffs. I kinda try to blank out that whole area from my memory) >.> yeah.

There’s really only 4 World Bosses. All the rest are puny Meta Bosses that can spawn more frequently. That being said, would you rather ALL the meta bosses be on a timer? It would simply increase the time of the loop, meaning if you miss 1 boss, you have to wait X hours for it to show up again.

I know I’d prefer fire shaman to at least be on the list. I’m guessing it was an oversight.

Meta boss or not they are classified as World Bosses. They give a daily reward chest and a static chest.

Also considering that Anet themselves have the current world boss events separated into 3 different categories it wouldn’t do that much to the normal event chain. From the link I posted in the first paragraph:

“Hard-Core, Mega-Organized Events—(Thanks for naming this, Colin.) This classification currently includes Tequatl, the Great Jungle Wurm, and the Karka Queen. Since these events require the greatest amount of organization between players, they all occur within a three-hour window that begins approximately every eight hours. This is weighted towards regional prime times.

Standard World Events—This set of six world events is comprised of the original world event content that has been available since the launch of Guild Wars 2. One of these events will begin on the hour and half hour in a repeating rotation.

Low-Level World Events—Because players at lower levels are more restricted in their choice of content, this classification is made of a small rotation of events that occur in the level 1–15 starting zones. One of these four events begins at fifteen minutes and forty-five minutes past the start of every hour."

Fire Shaman is a quick event if you have people there. Eye of Zhaitan and Ogre Wars are slow but the potential for mob farms is on par with Modniir Shaman. There is potential here for more than just daily chests (just like Modniir Shaman.)

You also forgot the Dredge Commissar in southwest Dredgehaunt (which admittedly never really deserved world boss status). I think the boss at the end of the minidungeon in Diessa Plateau also counts as a world boss, but no one ever cared about that place or the meta-event that opens it.

I so totally forgot about the Commissar. lol So that’s 4 bosses not on the world boss list. (not counting mini dungeons as they are their own thing). I’’ll go ahead and update the original posts to add him in there.
