Bosses

[Mesmerize]

Yesterday I was turned into Ghost for supposedly revealing a player at a boss. I just want it known that it was not me who revealed and i would appreciate it if facts would be straight before tying to get me in trouble. If i did something i would say so. I like to kill these bosses and take others with me to experience it, but with all this hassle lately it is not worth it.

A player presented a legitimate issue to staff. You were questioned, as was the third party involved to try and determine the facts of the issue.

You have as much right to a turn at the boss as any other player. As I have said to you, if you go to the boss location, and a hidden player (how might also have come bye to check on the spawn) does not reveal themselves to you, and the boss spawns it is yours. If they make themselves known, and then the boss pops up, it is theirs and you can have the next one.

If you suspect a player is camping, report it to staff for investigation.

Would be wonderful if turns were taken, but unfortunately they aren't.

Yes, it would be wonderful. And if it isn't happening you should be reporting that so staff can investigate. I think this is where the train is getting off the track. Rather than suspicions of camping or not taking turns being reporting for staff follow up on, players (that's plural, not just you Mes) are instead stewing about it which is only serving to foster shard hate and discontent.

I sent you a pm last night with a suggestion on this, did you get it? I was going to post it to forums under suggestions but thought i would run it by you 1st. If it is possible to be done i think it would give others more of a chance, some know the spawn times, myself, I never timed it, but Avanthar did mention some spawn , i think he said like every 3/6/12 hours? I don't want to time them, just want a fair chance to kill them and not always go and not see them there.

Yes Mes, I did receive your pm. Apologies but have been dealing with several pressing shard issues.

Regarding the timers on the bosses, none of them are set to a specific time period (like every 3 hours, or every 6 hours). They all have a spawn "window" of a couple to several hours. This means they could spawn any time within that window. One time they might spawn at the beginning of the window, the next time they might spawn a the end or anywhere in between. This was done specifically so that players could not "time" the boss's appearance. The only way to know if a boss has spawned or not is to go to the bosses location and check.
