Guild Wars 2

I keep on hearing Anet say that GW2 is a “living world”.

I didn’t think it would be so much like the REAL living world wherein I have to log in at specific times each day in order to kill certain bosses – the same way I have to go to work at certain times each day in order to pay my mortgage!

Posted on a different thread, but it looks like it fits here too…

If you absolutely need to put the bosses on a schedule, have each boss spawn, in rotation, evey 5 minutes:
Teq = 1:00am
SB = 1:05am
Maw = 1:10am
Dwayna = 1:15am
Next = 1:20am
Etc.

Heck, you could do a 7 minute rotation to make it more random… and even more random by randomizing the spawn order every daily reset!

I know multiple bosses can pop at the same time. It used to happen all the time.

Millions of people all over the world play at all different times. A schedule like that would give variety, randomness in relation to when people log in, and with the megaserver thing, their should always be people on to do the event.

Really… who thought up this, “same time every day” schedule?!?! Have they never heard of the old drinking saying, “It’s always after work somewhere.”?

A game that lets me fight 20-24 world bosses a week as opposed to 2-4 a week because dragons\wurms\wizards\shaman\beasts\etc. don’t typically walk into the office, punch a timecard and say, “O.K. world, I’m in the office! come and kill me!”

… You know, kind of like it was a couple of weeks ago.
