I really like the point about high level content in low level areas, because one of the ways to make an mmo seem smaller than it is is when the low level areas are just for leveling, and you never go back to them, there's all this wasted space that just seems like its not part of the game.

GW2 does have them on the mini-map and actual map, too though... lol

I think they could get pretty creative with the mode by which they inform players of rare spawns and such. Off the top of my head they could have town criers yelling to bring everyone’s attention to the imminent spawn or they can make it so all the mobs are running away from where the boss spawns. Not every encounter would work with this ambient environment notification system, but there are some it would work really well for. And I just got to the part where Asmon talks about the blood moon demon invasion thing which is effectively the same thing.

as a gw2 player, I was kinda bothered by this display. To add to it: The biggest world events, like bosses or meta events, usually are noted in the top right. also, chat will almost always call out big stuff.

I don't think these events should pop-up on the map, there are easy ways to let players know an event in their area is occurring. Screen shaking, drums beating, etc... and you could add in some kind of dialogue pop-up in the chat or on the screen...(that players could disable) some kind of extended notification through sound and animations in the direction of the event if you are in the "zone" or a set distance... yes, I do think new players need to know where to go but I think it can be done without a map marker while keeping the emersion. One example (Golbin horde is assembling to attack a nearby village). The residents send out some kind of messenger (bird or squire) asking players in the area/zone for assistance. Players could opt to talk to the messenger or just ignore it and it would just leave in 30 seconds. Players not in the zone would surely be notified through a world chat/guild chat etc.

Honestly I’ve never had a problem with GW2 notifications. They are color coded and different based on type of event, look at the color on your map and go in that direction, there are even vocal ques by npcs….. if you don’t want to look at your mini map…. I don’t know what to tell you.

People have to have a reason to complain on something.

Just keep in mind that even though you can see an event on your mini map it would take 30-45 mins to get to it. So more localized events will have a higher participation rate than running to an event for 40 mins and it is over by the time you get there.

AB'ing in GWW(GW)(Gw1)Guild Wars 1 was a great mix of 12v12 capture the flag style pvp with NPC control points instead.

In gw2 the big important events are seen on. The minimap. Just smaller events are area locked

It was great how in Nazjatar whenever a rare boss spawned you got a notification right on your screen so you didn’t have to keep looking at your map every 10 seconds to see if there was a new skull icon. You just went about your business, saw the notification and then opened your map and flew over to it, perfect IMO

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the MMO Rift at all. I thought it had very progressive and organic ways of introducing world events. In fact, the entire game was developed around these Rifts, and it worked pretty well. Would be nice to see some of that DNA infused into Ashes.

I am getting tired of companies putting graphics and lighting affects over proper gameplay mechanics and diverse gameplay loops.

Pso2 has “emergency quests” they are world bosses that spawn every 2 hrs and 15 to 45 min there’s an actual banner on screen to let everyone know. It works well

World bosses in guild wars 2 have a random loot table. Which makes every world boss as good as any world boss.

One of my favourite things about classic wow is how Elite quests were actually hard and required a party to beat Now imagine if they made the elite enemy higher level than the player (like they did back in vanilla), but on top of that if it's killed by a player that is higher level than it, the quest doesn't count. so basically you can't get help from a high level player, instead you have to party up with another player the same level as you

Yikes. I was literally watching this while doing meta events in a random vanilla map in GW2. I was farming alone for some fangs when a boss spawns out of nowhere. No one was around me but I gave it a go since I was on raid dps build anyways. After I danced with the boss for 10 seconds I see arrows firing from behind me, I turn the camera around and I see 5 other players coming in for the boss. I had no clue that remote vanilla area would still have enough players for a small boss event in the corner of the map to be killed.

Here's a interesting idea. No events world bosses will show any form of notification timer or on map. The only thing you will see is changes in the environment or a giant monster ect. But after you beat it 1 time, full timers and map markers etas will be displayed for you in game. That way it encourages you to explore and communicate.

@@waltwhite8126 But they will do anyways. So best way to prevent that is not base them on a timer, but an ingame event. Like a Quest series being finished (with Cooldown). FFXIV has this in large part for hunt monsters, though they lack meaningful rewards to hunt the more eluding Targets. But point is, you cant track them this way. A similiar but "easier" way of Doing this, would be like in Warhammer online: Mark spots on map where Publig Events happen and name the conditions in Stages. Kill 30 of the sorrounding Mobs to continue to next harder Stage and despawn previous enemies and replace them with more difficult ones. Continue until you get to an actual Bossfight and rewards depending on participation depending on Region adn Difficulty of the Public Quest. If the Rewards are right this makes the World feel more alive, especially if MMO's start to detch themselves more and more from this arbitrary Level System to increase your Health and move further into Terretory where YOur Stats dont increase, but your abilities while Enemies only somewhat variy in Strength from lvl 1 aside some meaner Tricks down the line but compensate it with your own Skill and enemy knowledge.

The real flaw with rifts in Rift were exposed once the population died. Once that happened every new player was faced with each zone having 50 rifts up. Then the game wasn't an MMORPG you were just stuck in a grind fest game playing alone and it got irritating and boring fast.

They could just make the world quests and such mostly easy to find and track and have some rare ones that are more difficult to find and have more rare rewards and such they can have a blend.

almost 300 hours into Lost Ark and have 3 characters, and still haven't got onto the infamous Tooki Island successfully....

Every help resource you can find online should be in the game. The times of mirage are over. For dead content: Best possible MMO would be one that organically scales with the size of the playerbase, this might be achievable in AoC with the node system, if it behaves anything like a guild. The game would economically encourage joining a small node instead of starting a new one, and discourage joining a node that's too big or already complete, eg. a sweetspot. The end result would be that active nodes would almost always end up having optimal number of players, and playerbase size would only affect total number of active nodes, which wouldn't matter that much for an individual. If the world gets "full" then a new server is spawned.

One thing about this game that I think could really hurt it. If your server dies ... there'll be no way to do anything.
