With the new release of these symbol for demons that increase the likely hood of dropping a contract, it would be cool if there was a boss that had a similar set up, world boss style. Like mondays u have to kill it will melee, for a chance at increased droping the melee weapon or gear, the boss has stats geared to a melee encounter. Tuesday can be mage, and its stats switch to mage encounters and drops. I think this could possibly serve well in the longevity of a bosses life as it forces you to change it up so your not doing the same mechanics over and over again. try and keep the ttk around the same time so reddit dosent cry.

While I think rotating boss weaknesses is an interesting idea I think the idea of timed bosses is not well liked. It was part of the reason people didn't like wrathmaw.

It's a bit different than time restricted access but I think people will still be upset.

Would suck if i had to make sure that every monday i deafeat this boss, because thats the best weapon or the one i still need.
Thought you were about to request a boss that rotated after a specific amount of kills to make the fight less the same.
That also just sounds like designing multiple bosses in 1, which could have just been a raid then

would be interesting if the regular boss was available normally in a den or layer, then on a certain world it only spawns every hour with increased stats depending on the ammount of players in the den when it spawns

The only times based activities in this game that would work would be PvP related and even that was poorly received as people relate it to rs3 daily scape still

This is a thing in RS3 but changes weekly not Daily.
However because players dislike this, there is also a reward from combat achievements to choose a specific boss rotation. (Week 1/2/3/4)

Seeing as how this somewhat backfired in rs3, probs would not work in osrs.

Might be worth a visit if you include choosing the rotation after certain amount combat achievements completed.
Or just aswell give everyone to ability to choose from release between a couple boss scenarios/rotations.

For those interested look at vorago, araxxor, ROTS on rs3 wiki.
Copied from vorago description:
The special attack he uses lasts for one week, changing every Wednesday at 00:00 UTC.

Players who have obtained War's Blessing 4 are allowed to choose which special attack Vorago may use rather than the intended special attack.
