Game Director Letter – February 2014 Discussion

[Jaedelyia]

Today, trying to get Kyllikki... Two hours.. 16 people. Someone said: "they (T1 raiders) could have got a full set of t1 by now doing portents".
This is going really wrong.
Updated: 2h:20m now. I give up...

Well, raiding during WB's week is harder, but frankly, 16 folks to raid Kylli's ass is fine. You could have began and smash your way through at least the DT Boss and continue looking after new people to join your raid

Yeah the loot it gives is silly, and being able to farm it 24/7 is even more silly.

Amazing...Not a single day goes by on these forums, without some people trying to force their will on others.

Talk about entitlement issues...

After succeeding in killing a World Boss the 2-minutes counter buff that we receive should turn into a 12-hours or more buff that wouldn't allow that character to get any bonus or reward for killing another World Boss.

It would prevent the scenario provided by Maark (screenshot) and give more time to those who missed entering the instance in time, since those who did it, would have to log another character to roll for the next World Boss instance.

This solves nothing. If people are locked out from loot, no one will bother to kill it. This just creates less people to kill it, especially on pvp server, or people in late US time.

I farmed a lot of world bosses for all the events. Since Funcom reduced the spawn time, the chance of being locked out of a wb fight is a lot lower (i.e. than the dragon one). The last couple of days on the DS boss was only an issue because the bosses were killed at different kill times such that all the spawns got clumped together at once (which made it more likely that you could get into a kill just by watching global) and then we had 'cooldown' waits til the respawns all happened at once.

No cooldown please. I have seen more guildies online doing the DS boss during that week and a lot of activity in global asking for sixmans and raids. If someone would rather chase around a WB than go to another kylikki then that's their choice. They will have 3 weeks to finish up their characters with t1/t2 raids. I know that I'll have my ranger/guard in some t2s to finish up gear.

I would bet though that most players do not want a cooldown. Most players do not post on the forums so you are going to be seeing a few vocalizations that may or may not reflect the in game thoughts.

why no resub offers lately funcom? might be a good idea with eso around the corner

[Mysticblood]

Not to mention AoC community is way too tiny to lock people out of farming world bosses, it's from those farming WBs that make it possible at all too do the cape quest, for guys like me who can only get on once or twice a week. If everyone had a cooldown the WB zones would be dead zones... period.

Yeah, good suggestion !

There should be some really special offer running all the time considering the state of the game tbh.
