Once a week is kinda ..., very unfriendly to ppl at different time zone, and when it starts in midnight.

So I recommend that player could buy something which could summon the world boss(which should be somewhat expensive), when it summons like there is a 5min delay or something so ppl can join. Maybe there could be a thing that can instant summon the boss and tp everyone in the same party?

Also question, How will the boss be, in a spreate server or in a wc?, if it's in wc it's gonna be full like in 1 sec.

A solution might be another server for the world boss, which can be join through pf. And when it summon, it shout to all the wc, so ppl can know.

You are making an assumtion that it will be the exact same time the exact same day every week

yeah i see the concern, i kinda feel it too. if its at a time where i cant show up at the immediate, do i have to wait an entire week for it to appear again? i feel like if there was a range of time for when the event happens itd be a lot friendlier to players unconditionally

#

to be fair, i dont know anything about the event as a whole and am mostly making an assumption off of this, so im not really gonna care about it for now, but it would suck if it only was doable in a blip of a second

adding a start at any time ability would kinda mess up some of the point of the event and balance of the rewards I think

#

we dont want it to just be an event that favors only like people who can play between 4 and 9 pm EST, its a tricky thing to balance '

I think if the times are done right it can work out

i have a shit idea before
world boss open for 3 days.
it will have absurd hp like 10b but unattackable.
To decrease the hp u fight it's mini version with a team(raid-like but straight to the boss). 1 attemp per day and drop loot.
if the global boss hp drop to 0 it grants extra loot to everyone who participated.

#

cuz also if its always on a saturday it will effect people who work weekends

dusk fern
#

and u need to consider about the boss stats

crimson wedge
#

like we need to ballance it out so the most people can play the most events

dusk fern
#

ppl can 6 con hq snipe, and what prevent ppl 1 shotign the boss

#

with consumables (4 use each month not a lot)

crimson wedge
#

idk that really messes up the point

#

that its 1 boss that u fight and kill

#

not some unattackable thing u need to do something to attack with global boss hp

#

also the hp of the boss in the events rn scales as we said, so technicly u CAN fight and kill it at level 30 it will just be hard but its not at like 2 mil hp for level 30

dusk fern
#

also is it decied how the loot will be shared

crimson wedge
#

salted is being vague about the loot on purpose, I believe the goal is to tease it over time

#

I dont wanan open up about how it works if that is the goal

dusk fern
crimson wedge
#

not sure if thats a good way to discribe it

dusk fern
#

what happens when 3 lvl 30 player + 1 max lvl player join, average lvl ?

crimson wedge
#

really its bad to do that tbh

#

the level 30s will kinda just get fucked and the max level with have a harder fight

#

thoe it would be insanse to get a full max level party, have everyone but 1 /kill so that 1 personc an solo max boss stats

If you set irregular times, like making it spawn every like, 64.5h so it hardly ever spawns at the exact hour
But still people might have a bit of hard time to get precisely in time
No solution will be perfect though, so I recommend just listening to the community with it

#

Like, with what you've said, you need to address one extra thing

#

World hopping

crimson wedge
#

that would not be an issue

crude copper
#

Just like, test it well in beta, encourage people to do so
Because it's likely that you will miss something gamebreaking

dusk fern
#

u should make the boss in hero beta spawn more often (temporally) so ppl ahbve mor etime to test on it. (rememebr to switch back when it end)

crude copper
#

(It will)

Also, maybe give like 30 min warmup time where you could just join early to participate or something

or at least a large time

#

only thing im a bit worried about is uhhh
it happens once a week right
so if you die
you have to wait another week to attempt it again?

#

@crimson wedge How about have it happen a couple of times over a span of 24 hours but give every player a limit of 1 run

#

Or will the multiple times thing like, mess with the “uniqueness” of the event

crude copper
#

hmm middle ground between og and what I and aprdon proposed

#

youll need to wait for beta to get an idea of how it works

#

is there any eta on beta or still unknown?

#

idea: run it two or three times a week at different times favoring different regions, but make a player unable to get rewards for the next 1 or 2 that happen after one they loot

#

lets people do it at a reasonable time, without allowing more rewards for ppl that are willing to stay up for all of them

crude copper
#

also there should be a limit to prevent time zone abuse as well (like you can participate once per week)

#

I see the peroids where an any player could easily do one in 8 am, second one afternoon at 4 pm and last one at midnight

#

they would still show up within reasonable times (not 3 am)

Why are people giving feedback on something they havent tested?

#

i didnt realize the world events were so rare

#

i was assuming theyd be like, multiple times a day or something

fickle token
#

they are

#

its just the world boss is rare

#

I mean
considering past few additions to the game, I have rights to presume like that

#

yeah i do appreciate your concern for the balance of the game, i really do hope we dont let anything gamebreaking through, but its also slightly frustrating seeing you cast dispersions based on info you're assuming that is either A) not relevant at all because the system is different from what you think it is, or B) has already been considered months ago

release hero beta 😎

#

then they will not change and itll still have just as silly suggestions

tepid compass
#

maybe there can be different world events that change the enviorment (like an actual changing canyon for canyon of the lost) and these world events make certain boses stronger but give better loot

tepid compass
#

I’m just suggesting. I-I mean giving constructive feedback on world events. Yup, very constructive and feedbacky

#

a good way to fix this would be to have the world boss be on a timer for 164 hours, resetting every 12 cycles

#

this would mean that it’s 4 hours earlier every week

#

probably starting at 00:00GMT

#

on a monday morning

#

then resetting on saturday morning at 04:00GMT

Plenty of games handle worldbosses in similar ways, I'm sure wynn can figure it out.

Just have the boss spawn in a big area and have it spawn every so often in the open world in the set spot with a obious show for it.

Alternatively you could even like, have everyone get auto partied and put into an instance of the area like how wars are handled.
