what do you mean?
we know precisely when the events start.
theres no random….people use “event timers” found on the internet and teleport to where the next event will start.
The “window” period gives it a element of randominess. (It’s 1.15 window for jormag and 30 minutes for shatterer and teq, obviously shatterer is the more specific one since it has a short pre event but that’s also a lower level event).To implement a completely random timer would make it unfair for certain servers on certain days since one day you could only have 1 spawn while another server may have had 10 spawns.
dont talk about unfair here, its not much worst than rng
and over time, average will win.
the idea is “stopping the people from doing events in chain”.
as it is the whole server farmers + guests are going at the same
exact spot at the same exact time, to play in facerollable “free loot giving” event.to me, thats total failed design.
It’s not win because not everyone is farming events as an “average” thing. Some people may have time to play the game for one particular day but only to be hit with a bad ’rng" of event. Besides, another rng for events would just trigger another huge public outcry on it. So here we have many people complaining about rng and suddenly there are more suggestions of more rng. Why not make the chest account bound as I suggest? I think this is a perfect solution. Why bother touching other things that work when obviously this is a people are so concentrated on farming dragons now event.
I don’t see how this is free loot either. You spend time waiting for an event, playing for an event, and you get rewarded “once” on that character with a minimum of a rare as oppose to previously where you have to hunt it 3-5 times to get a rare.
So now we have people who complained how bad the loot is and now we have people saying it’s too easy? You just can’t please EITHER side can you. There is no middle line, it’s either too hard or too easy for people, not JUST the right amount (because this DOES NOT EXIST) If you wanna say its faceroll easy, everything in this game is faceroll easy, fotm is a joke, cof is a joke, arah is a joke, nothing is really that challenging (for me) anyways, but you dont’ see me complaining about it because this is a matter of personal skill and opinion. Other people do not share the same thought as me or are at the same skill level as me.
Final note, if these world events were so easy, why do people die in the masses a lot during these events, think about it. (even before the lag, so don’t argue with lag please)
i have no clue how they can die :/ i would have to make an effort to die.
your solution is good too.
the events would only be clogged at prime time.
i just think randomized would make it spicier; people would have to communicate more and it would remove the camping, maybe, which is boring.
and even if somebody doesnt see jorma one day, he can see another one, he ll eventually see them all if he wants to.
i just think making these bosses as “obvious farm spots” isnt that good for the game.
its boring, server demanding, and rewarding; ugh.

yup.
for a random build, game can be much harder!
imagine a guard with spirit weapon
the best solution i found is to randomize the respawn timers.
so players wont “check the timers and camp the event”.
i think that if the boss spawns on random respawn (+/- 30min) its gonna create a better mood for the fight/ event, discourage guesting, an discourage lazy farmers.
keep the rare in the chest
thank you.
the model is old school and, honestly, barely revolutionary; but it sure does make money
