Guild Wars 2

Spawn windows are the worst thing for this game ever. Makes u sit around waiting for a boss to spawn only to have a large amount of lag because everyone is doing the same thing and what do u do when he spawns? well if u really are bored u hit him once and afk, but other times u are just sitting there auto attacking waiting for your loot.

I honestly can’t remember the last time that the mobs in the teq fight actually had an influence on the fight, or those crystals that spawn for the shatterer, did u actually hit them?

Anet should make the bosses more frequent, and have a shorter spawning window to spread players out over the day for killing the bosses which reduces lag. I also doubt this would inpact the economy very much as bots are still running around doing their business.

Since loot is a 1 time thing per day, this wouldn’t be such a bad thing, other than karma farms and maybe the xp farms would skyrocket

You know it isn’t a tough fight when you can salvage junk in your inventory, check what you sold on the TP, and people are having conversations in /say about what they had for breakfast.

If you don’t want so many people during these events because of lag DON’T do them RIGHT AFTER reset since they are only worth doing once per day per character and I have never stepped away during an event just auto attacking with skill 1, I make full use of all my skills, as for Shatterer and the crystals, I got my achievement for it, took a while but it is done. I see nothing wrong with the way they are, Claw of Jormag is the only exception to me.

You seriously don’t see what is wrong with it? Maybe you use all ur skills, and i do sometimes, but i can just as easily hit the dragon and do something else till it is dead is my argument. No challenge at all for these things. Heck my favorite world boss in this game is the one is kessek hills because he is actually a challenge. You don’t even need to stick around for the chest but if u hit him once and afk u are def going to die.

It is really hard to make content challenging if you have a high volume of players fighting a boss all at once. I would much rather fight something where i don’t just auto attack

Since big monsters are up there with armor sets in time to program, the intended changes to world events are going to take time. Maybe they’ll even be worth the wait.

I think they should spawn less frequently, maybe just a couple times a day with a completely random timer. We are seeing these events much too often that they don’t feel grand at all. We should be excited to see them.

Most of them need an Overhaul. And much better Scaling.
Jormag’s about the only one that’s close to being decent.
And that’s b/c you actually have to keep the Turrets clear and knock down his walls and get the Golems through. …Stuff that takes slightly more coordination than standing off to the side with all range mode on.

Even Balthazar doesn’t scale enough anymore. The hardest part about that fight is just getting enough people to stand where the Nobles spawn so the whole pact doesn’t get Vaporized by their Shadowsteps 300ft out the door from Rally point. Once they actually arrive and Balth Priest spawns, ppl can just turn their brains back off b/c he just doesn’t scale up HP wise for some reason. (The stupid Abom should absorb 75% of the damage for him till it’s dead, that’d make it more interesting.)

If they make them spawn randomly then they would really need to adjust the loot drops elsewhere. I don’t know about y’all but that’s my main source for rares and thus for ectos. Removing all the daily ectos that are generated by these events would significantly effect the ecto supply imo.

I said that since people starting to “farm” those events and now A.Net made it even easier to farm them via a timeschedule.

World bosses don’t really feel like bosses but rather a large annoying lag turret that targets your fps. World bosses are supposed to move around at least in that area anyway and try to track you down and kill you and everyone else in the zone, least the minions anyway. They’re supposed to be exciting fights that have variety to them.

Ree Soesbee is right, “As a structure, the MMO has lost the ability to make the player feel like a hero. Everybody around you is doing the same thing you are doing. The boss you just killed respawns ten minutes later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.” the last two sentences are actually true though.

The Cave Troll doesn’t really care that I’m there, all he wants to do is camp cows and kill chickens outside of Claypool. He doesn’t care that the whole town is hostile, if he did then he would go there and to other settlements and smash things until he cools down about his stone being stolen.

Quite a few of the world bosses are for lower level areas. Although there are level 80’s farming them, these bosses are “epic” for the first time player.
Not everyone farms the bosses, and arena net has restricted the farming to once a day to try to reduce the lag. But there really is no reason to alter the dragons spawn times, if you want more of a challenge you can go during non peak times, or you can take off your gear, or use weapons you are not traited for to make yourself more vulnerable to the dragon.

This. I dunno why anyone would waste time sitting around in an area waiting on a timer window when gw2stuff.com (site or overlay) will tell you exactly when to go.

Didn’t even know about this website, so thx to the person who pointed it out. I think the point is Anet has to recognise that these bosses are not as grand as they seem and something should be done.

God if the bosses started to destroy the freaking whole map (as ssomeone mentioned) that would be so epic, almost like when ur completely down in WvW and you get a bunch of ppl to go get that first tower and fight back for the BL. That concept would be awesome for a world boss, but again it wouldn’t work because ppl would be farming them for loot

I agree entirely with the OP. The “window” is garbage. It basically makes me choose between playing the game, and doing the dragon. I despise just standing there… waiting… it’s ridiculous. just have the dragon appear and start doing its thing. The pres are plenty enough warning that it is coming.

I get what they were trying to do, but I really REALLY hate how it came out.
