Automated global shout on boss spawn

1
Author Content Date
Seems that people have liked the idea and has been used at events, but was wondering if it could be possible for all boss spawns, eg after a reboot, when a boss spawns randomly, there could be a global shout that it is up.

"PLUM"This should prevent a single player getting a massive haul should he last hit, and would promote the trade of these high level items.


In some games there are server wide notices when a boss spawns, eg if pamoth spawns in vod, it will say.
<<< Pamoth has appeared in the Valley of Death >>>

I probably kill more bosses than most people, so this wouldnt benefit me (infact the opposite), but the majority of people never even get to see bosses, and would give everyone a chance to see / kill these bosses and even to get a drop maybe.

Obvoiusly i dont know if its possible to implement, but thought it deserved a thread of its own.

"MR_PERFECT"Seems like a good idea to me, eliminates people doing 80 bow for trace etc. :]


"GHOSTLORD"Hmm, that would be nice.


"GRAVIJA"Really like the idea of bosses making them selves known. It still gives archers a primary advantage to trace that boss but also gives every other class a clue that its even online.


"OPENTHEDOOR"Making bosses "announce" themselves is a brilliant idea. It's used in WoW and on pvp servers it makes for great fun!

I also think bosses should be "random" spawn. It's the same (no life) people killing the bosses. So rather than having set hours after being killed, make it random!


"CYROX"I agree with bosses announcing themselves. I think this is a great idea.


"SHATTERSTAR"I love the idea of bosses announcing themselves.

It's a pretty nice idea, just hope people don't start whining about being pk'ed at bosses etc because it's almost 100% guaranteed to happen.

That quote is for reduced respawns and reduced loot. But I still agree with this idea.
