Guild Wars 2

In every starter zone there’s a world boss, except the charr, this is racist!

The Charr killed their lowbie boss. Blame them.

What Ashen said.
We Charr don’t tolerate World Bosses on our front lawn.

However you can find Rhend, Foulbear, Shatterer, and Fire Shaman farther out….. That’s not so bad and I don’t think you can say the other racial territories have that many.

hahah a this justification is awesome, i rest my case

The only area that could work out in the new model would have been over with the Ogres and Anet can’t keep Ogres from bugging out it like it is their racial elite.

Would love to have a world boss in Plains of Ashford (and honestly the Charr are the only ones left out). But probably not going to happen anytime soon or at all. ANet has clearly stated that they prefer to focus on new content instead of on old content.

Plains of Ashford is the original open world PvP meta event zone, when The Shatterer flew over it and corrupted players making them to fight “normal” players, while Rytlock and Eir walked around the zone insta-killing anything that came close to them, lol. All to epic ingame music.

I miss that

They could probably turn that ghost statue fight into a world boss.

I think that’s a poor choice of placement. Better would be a world boss in the Ascalon City ruins. Who?

. . . come on, you need to ask? Someone get a list of which henchmen from Old Ascalon aren’t dead or already ghosts, then get to work

Siegemaster Lormar (from Fort Ranik) is a champion in the ruins near the wall, has a nice set of pre-events, is on a longish cooldown, and could easily be made a legendary boss and scale up to handle more people.

They get expensive peppers instead. :P

The flame Shaman used to be in the Plains of Ashford during the beta. He was in the flame legion caves north of Lake Feritas. However, because of all the upscaling of all the new and excited low level Charr he just ended up one-shotting everyone in sight non-stop.

I quit about 2 days after the game went live so I’m not sure when or why he was moved to Iron Marches but I reckon he was originally meant to be the world boss in the Plains of Ashford.

They are different events, with very different mechanics. The Ashford shaman event bugged quite often, freezing up after the tar elemental pre-event. It still exists, and can usually be run once per map reset, but was one of the ones that suffered a demotion from champion to veteran last May.
