    It literally won't offset anything.
    If theres a slight window of 10-20 minutes, whats literally stopping anyone from camping the CH and periodically wiping all the CHs.

    I literally never see anyone when I decide to myself that I want to check the mini bosses.

    And if you really need something from a quest, you literally have to wait a few hours and the mini boss will respawn.
    If you're looking for higher contested bosses (HH, BF), you probably arent even in the position to be able to kill it efficiently.

    ...the timers. The timers stop them.

    Let's say you kill all 6 manos at roughly the same time. Now next time around, any of those manos could spawn 40 minutes from kill time or an hour and 20 minutes from kill time. And, it's extremely unlikely that they won't spawn in the order you killed them either.

    So now, just to be sure you have the best chances of getting those bosses again, you have to arrive 20 minutes early instead of right on the time. And while you're waiting for your first kill to respawn in one channel, another could have spawned. That is a possibility for someone else to get a boss kill on one channel while you are still camping another channel. If you want to surf the channels to make sure bosses haven't spawned in them yet, then you're giving up the channel you were at previously. It's a lot harder predict and monopolize a boss with some spawn variance, and as one continues to try to do so, the overall variance between spawns on all channels just gets wider and wider.


    You're being quite presumptuous, you know that?

    Case: Babo would hunt for a "higher contested boss". So obviously he's not in a position to kill it efficiently? Your argument makes no sense. And it's a moot point anyway because someone lower level who wants to fight a boss should have the opportunity to do so and not have to step aside for the uber high level players.

    Just wanna throw in my two cents as someone guilty of sweeping through the lower level bosses for money / chairs to say that the system totally encourages it. Both the low chair droprate and high equip drop encourages players to sweep through all of the channels. If the respawn timers are randomized, then for one if a boss hasn't been killed in a while or isn't busy you'll still be totally able to kill all the channels for good drops, but it'll help combat people sweeping through all the bosses on a timer within like 2 minutes of them spawning.

    Also there's already one boss that work differently, for the snack bar quest you are taken to a different map than the normal snack bar spawn. On the separate map, there is always a snack bar that will spawn.
