Wilderness Boss Rework Design
Quick find code: 380-381-830-66260482
Been looking forward to this blog for a while now!
The Wilderness Boss Lairs & Escape Caves seem like a promising idea and they'll definitely increase activity within the wilderness. I like how the "Peek" option doesn't tell you the exact number of players within the lair and I hope that doesn't change. Something like that is needed within the wilderness and you should always be on your toes whatever the situation is. The various NPC's within the Escape Caves is perfect and I feel like a 10 second window to be followed is plenty of time. It's all fair game and that's how it should be. The Boss Lairs and Boss Lair Exits look amazing by the way! Kudos to the team for the beautiful artistry! The fees seem fair and reasonable and five boss kill MVP's equating to a free entry after your next death should be easily attainable. I don't know what other fee system could be implemented honestly. The one proposed seems pretty good.
The GP/HR should be somewhere between 3-4m considering the risk & reward factor. Given the low requirements to take them on, I'm sure many adventurers will try them! I like the safer alternative method as well, knowing the GP/HR is lower but it's still an option. I'm glad the mechanics will finally be changed, given how overpowered they're now. Safespots don't really make them a PvM experience and they shouldn't be a thing in the first place. Fighting them head on should be the only way! The proposed mechanics for each boss seem nice and doable for any mid-level PvMer since they're considered mid-level bosses. The tradeable unique drops from each boss seem like a cool add on but I don't think they're really needed. The wilderness weapons offered now are plenty to take them on but I guess an upgrade is an upgrade. I'm all for the Dragon Pickaxe drop changes and I'm glad KQ is finally getting some love! About time! I feel like offering it at the Volcanic Mine could be beneficial since the minigame is dead anyways. Could revive it!
Great job!
