As i stopped doing quests at about level 25 cuz was fed up being a fed ex guy and delivering stuff.

 

Is there a story behind every world boss?

Defiler was a happy little jellyfish.  He liked to play jellyfish games with his friends like Red Rover, Red Rover, Zap Your Tentacles On Over and Zap the Jellyfish.  Even though jellyfish don't have brains, young Defiler was very sensitive.  He cared deeply about his friends and family.  Then one fateful morning, tragedy struck.  Defiler was out for a swim when his whole bloom of jellyfish friends were eaten alive by a sea turtle right before his eyes!  You can imagine how crazy this could make any jellyfish without a brain, as jellyfish don't actually have brains. Crazy enough to be able to breathe air and no longer live in the sea.  He has vowed to avenge his family and friends and will fight anyone to the death that cares to disturb him in Bochadaens Tomb where angry jellyfish tend to roam. Yeah, doesn't make much sense, but like I said, Defiler is looney tunes.  Legend has it when he dies, little gems in a treasure chest are secreted through his tentacles for anyone brave enough to hunt jellyfish in the land of the undead.

They have stories but as you can see in the quest, they are kinda cut off so people like Chelsea makes up crazy and amusing stories to keep us entertained.

No, a WB should have a story behind it and a purpose to defeat it right?

Still wondering why is there not a plague world boss cuz everything revolved around it in the starting levels..

Loved your story chealse 

@guthix yup... zork feel's like the pet of eldevin king, who is let to roam about in that room.

Im going to stop referring to them as world bosses and just refer to them as what they are,raid bosses.

anyways, The raid bosses dont really fit the theme of their current areas.

zorskaar-A flying dragon at the top of a a flat surface ruins that has fire floors? should be in volcano and you are fighting on the top of it or so

Defiler- a giant blob jelly fish, in a tomb of vampires and skeletons we see a jelly fish boss? Should have its own island you fight it at because i've never seen jellyfish come out of cement.

Amun- the only boss with a fitting theme

Shade- a vicious fire breathing flying dragon contained to the smallest actual fighting zone in the game for raid bosses and is also the biggest boss in terms of graphic space and such,he should be at the top of a giant tower that you have to fight your way to the top just to get to him and slay him or even his own catacombs of the dead.

Kongar- opposite from a theme you would expect from a giant monkey that puts king kong to shame,You would expect tropical surroundings with tons of awesome mechanics to make this beast appealing.

agreeing with guthix.

 

 

Zork isnt technically a flying dragon , it has 4 wings, a snake body and a dragon tail.

It's probably when shade got drunk and banged up a snake.

Not sure, but I remember something about the raid bosses (that is a better term) being designed for 50 cap, and retrofitted so we could get early.  Perhaps there will be more of a back story, or more sense to the bosses in their proper setting.

 

Until and if, I'm accepting Chelsea's story as the true origin of the Defiler.

the "world bosses" in the game atm are raid bosses not world bosses tbh. We need World bosses and to have masses to defeat them with strategy.for great prizes,this type of content is what make guilds stand out next to pvp or war strats and comps. these raid bosses atm are just that raid bosses in a chosen area for limited groups or people of groups to be rewarded,unless on a 1 time per week little quest for gold bags.

Raid bosses should have the chests with belts and possible heroic weapons like it is now,but world bosses should have chests that you get out of every hundred of kills or so to start gathering world boss gears that are either better and much much rarer or same and still a bit rarer for uniqueness.

The thing that best set is obtainable through only dungeons, sucks.

I know for one the greedy people would revolt against the idea of sets being available other wise.

But if not uniqe sets, make different sets which are equal to the other ones with the basic idea that me and guthix share.

i.e. to grind hard to get a rare chance of getting one.

This should also mean that such bosses shuold be repeatedly grindable, not just a daily quest or a weekly quest thing.

The more time you put in must  yield with greater rewards.

 

Also gold cap removal, you won't believe it but it would greatly help for free market and the non dungeon content overall.

I don't even mean to sound cocky about this but I've been to more boss kills then anyone else and I ALWAYS see a comment basically saying.. "wow this is the most 45's I've ever seen together" and that is a good thing,but it can be better. You have the potential to make that statement become better and be something more like "wow this is the most people I've ever seen working together" this could be everyone coming together to defeat a boss for great or rare prizes. 

I'm not saying wb should have superior armor over anything else as far as rewards,but some nice variety that is either equal or better and much more rarer would be great. People may say I'm biased towards other events but I can assure you this isn't true as I have 2 chars just for pvping and pvp commonly, I run dungeons and am somewhat highly ranked in that and I do world bosses every chance I can to help others. I feel this content is lacking more so then others,even pvp happens more commonly then world bosses.

You know what I would love?  To be standing at the fountain in EC, trying to fish out those last two gold coins that I need for my achievement and seeing a shadow flying overhead starting to block out the light.  The shadow of a dragonish snake hybrid to be exact.  It gets closer and closer as the shadow gets larger. Suddenly, the tiles around the fountain ignite as Zorskaar lands unleashing his furious anger at all foolish or brave enough to not run. A cry of terror from the civilians ring out as all who are present feel compelled to save humanity.  Whether it be a strong, fully geared level 45 or a gun shy level 5 player who just started twenty minutes earlier, they are able to come together as a community and fight the real world boss.  

 

Wouldn't it be fun for just a day to test out the world bosses in these types of scenarios so all can enjoy them?  (Please l3fty, I know you're reading this, lol. :P)  Little warnings such as the shadow, or the ground starting to tremor as the bosses approach...a notice in yellow at the top of everyone's server...Would be AWESOME.

There could be invasions from the vast creatures we have killed, goblins, crimsons, tarankuna or w/e those guys, the crystals guys!

Taking their revenge every few hours, were NPC[the gaurds basically] and people would be announced to join to help save the city, the city we love eldevin, nirados etc etc.!

Waves of enemies could come , and all us eldevin-ars[trying to sound classy] would stand there to defend what is ours!

And for each wave we defend we could be granted rewards, in gold or flakes or some weapons or something!

or maybe a reward after the invasion has been stopped,  15 minute fun action packed moments!

I guess all they need to do for this is to spawn a few mob waves near the gaurds, the gaurds will automatically start attacking those as they do now, and the enemies would fight them back, OBV gaurd would win and move on to other enemies, but they are so slow. enough time for us to come and help them

 

My point is , wouldn't take that much of a time to make it happen i guess.

This does sound awesome, but need some way to not kill afk players.

 

I'd hate to return after getting a quick snack, only to find I not only missed the new world boss, but still have the repair bill :)
