Special mini-boss maps solely for quests

I think this is 100% doable, considering the Tier 1 HP challenge questline does just this! Been meaning to write up a suggestion for this myself.

 

A couple weeks ago I was camping Nine-Tailed Fox for ~3 hours so I could kill it for the first time and finish the quest and then ended up getting sniped by someone who teleported in, killed it before I could, and then explained "Oh, I finished the quest and also have the entire monster card set, but I just hunt this boss to scrolls" and then left lmfao

 

Boss spawn timers on discord have ruined any chance of getting cards or quests lol. I tried for a week to kill mano once for my quest when I made my bishop and never managed to complete it. Waste of time

 

There's a rather dedicated group of mutliclients that hard camp damn near every area boss day-round. Unless it's at odd-hours, or you yourself hard camp a channel, it's exceedingly unlikely for one to get any of the spawns. It rough out there.

 

Definitely agree. This feature gets out the ugliest part in people. Too much camping, sniping, ksing. If people wanna hunt for cards or rewards it should be separated from the quest boss.

 

Some of these area bosses have unique/dedicated drops like fishing pole from Faust and topwear luk 60/glowing whip from Zeno. Maybe these drops can go to other mobs? This would discourage some of the heaving muling (which i used to do when topwear luk 60s were 10m :^) )

 

Why do new players need handholding to finish their quests?

I understand your issue but would much rather see more deviation in respawn times (making it harder to snipe) and less meso value from area bosses. Rather than some custom boss thing.

 

I'm not saying one is more "right" than the other, but from a purely utilitarian perspective, the amount of EXP a new player gets from completing that quest is often times irrelevant compared to the meso value of the drops the boss can have (such as the aforementioned Topwear Luk 60). As such, you could make the argument that the new player doesn't need to do the quest, and many players would very much like to get the valuable drops, and now it becomes an argument of who deserves those drops more, a new player or someone who has a dedicated camping set up that they invested time making. Same goes for MB cards. Usually the EXP from these quests for a new player is trivial compared to doing literally anything else, but MB Rings and Mesos are both highly valuable.

 

I prefaced it with "I'm not saying one is more right than the other" as in I have no opinion in this matter, then followed it up with "you could make the argument" as in some people might see it that way. I personally have no input on the matter.

I did not suggest nerfing the bosses at all. I'm merely raising a different viewpoint from your own for the sake of discussion. Again, I have no personal opinion on the matter.

 

I dislike the hostility for new players but agree there needs to be more deviation in spawn timers to the point that discord timers aren't viable for camping it anymore. The meso being removed I don't see as a neccesary requirement since many higher level players have a better meso/hr method of farming meso, I'd argue the large majority of these farmers are lower level players incapable of better methods, or card farmers. One would think anyways

 

it can come with dojo (dat face)

 

I wonder if I could get past pianus in dojo now. Hmmm

 

Can we also put these boss mini dungeons next to the quest giving npcs? Walking to the bosses can already sometimes take longer than actually finding/killing the boss, and I don't get no serotonins by traveling.

 

dojo dont have pianus, is diferent to bpq
