Title: Randomised Spawn
Post by Deval on 03/05/03 at 04:23:52

Yes I'm a member of TR, and yes I'll admit we monopolise most of the bosses in the game, it's quite pleasant, BUT, just to give the average fair dinkum little battler a chance, I suggest this.

Randomise boss spawn times, so that it may spawn and not be owned by the most powerful clan who got it last, and the 692837465987 times before that. Thus clans will not be able to judge when it is going to spawn, and increase the chances for other folks to grab an item here and there, and this will also help to alleviate the fairness factor people complain bout relating to timezones, cus its gonna spawn in your timezone at SOME stage.

NOTE: Spawns SHOULD still spawn within a 24 hour time bracket.

this has been mentioned many times, and is in the works.

i've heard boss spawns were supposed to be randomized a very long time ago. i can't think of why they haven't been, maybe it's not a high priority. i dunno.

Even though the time would be random now, I bet TR will still kill the bosses. Alot.

Post by JLH on 03/06/03 at 02:19:21

no, stuff is added on the bottom of the list, however things are picked off the list depending on what i feel like doing next, and depending on what pandilex thinks should be in soon.

Be thankful it's not like MY To Do list. I write down what work HAS to be done before the next day... and usually none of it gets done anyway.

shouldn't it be something what players think that should be done next is done next? because i think this is an important thing for the players.
