I think the one thing they need to be careful of with a World Boss is the ability for it to be zerged. Its too easy to overcome anything in this game with pure numbers, look at the World Tours. If/When they do world bosses they need to make it so everyone who participates gets something and that it can scale to be worth fighting with any number of players, or else players will just sent the 300 out every kill and 25 will walk away with loot.

They can up the damage pretty good, or make it really spongie.
Can u image the hundreds of camps, waiting for it to spawn, each faction picking a safe distance, wipe after wipe.

Yeah I think thought needs to go into it, if it’s only rewards for 15/50 people the meta will be the highest possible DPS. No healing or tanking. Another alternative would be to have it so healing and tanking contribute to drop credit. The unfortunate thing is that, it’s really hard to balance here people will figure it the most optimal way to get drops and build accordingly.

Ideally you would just give credit to anyone participating enough to hit a threshold instead of a limited number of bags. Which is the system now.

Event boss, but still only gives a limited number of drops to players, not every player who participates gets something and if you participate solo you are more than likely not going to ever get anything. So its limited by the same rules that would hurt a true world boss fight.

:beers:

You are going to lose 10k because there is already a video showing the sandworm which I am willing to bet they saw and made this post before the video got around.

Maybe we can start #FREETHEWORM!

To see if we can break her out of the arena and into the open world.

Still think it’s too soon without getting the extra Brimstone Sands info from AGS which they will undoubtedly announce her.

Btw I told my wife all excitedly that there is a sand worm in the expansion and she was like… Uh Duh. It’s the sand level. Of course they have a sand worm lol.

Can we be insulted for criticizing lazy production in this forum? Ok I’m going just like you then, motherless dog :slight_smile:

Anyone know when the next ptr update with brimstone sands is?

Had one today so likely next week? In terms of large update maybe end of this month/early next month. It’s such a big patch that I told think ideally they would release the big stuff in a week or two, but they might hold for beginning of October.

I’d guess about 6 more updates on the PTR before it rolls out on live. Here’s what I’m hoping for:

  • Update #3 - Brimstone Sands | Alt More Revamp Leveling Bug Fixing
  • Update #4 - Bug Fixes | Alt Brimstone Sands
  • Update #5 - Bug Fixes
  • Update #6 - Ennead Expedition
  • Update #7 - Bug Fixes
  • Update #8 - Finishing Touches

I guess we will see ranking system before or with BS update. I found some ingame spreadsheets with it
