Bosses Despawn or Not Spawn at all

[Gandalf]

i think about it later.
atm, i cannot connect via ssh at all thought the server port is open. i had this before, have to wait. my provider maybe.

[Gandalf]

ssh worked again and i added these monsters:

no special drops added yet. first, i wait, till all spawns are good, then i will add some special spawns too.

please give feedback!

[rearrow]

will check them out and report if they fail.
but youl need special drops or high drop rates to make a boss usefull especially if he only spawns once an hour. noone is gonne turn up for a boss who only drops an item once a week. and you removed 2 boss dragons fwo had 70%+30% drop rates. and replaced them with a lower xp skelleton doing just that.
but if your aim is to test if bosses work ok first i can understand this. after all if u give them high lvl drop rates with rare gear and they misbehave. you might accidently flood the game with the items.
so lets test these bosses, fine tune them and then increase some drop rated and add some rare drops.
(150 bow, hint)

[Gandalf]

yes, first i want good places for them. otherwise, clans say "law abuses! they favorite clan xyz"

[rearrow]

well they can be a mixed blessing.
2 black devils spawn very close to raw castle on top middle map.

low level builders died almost instantly (including one of my alts).
If they start dropping good stuff maybe i be happy instead with the spawnpoint.

but random place seems fairer.
and maybe one dark devil and one dragon.
not too many can kill a dark devil.

btw i been on all clanmaps and they seem to spawn on time , every time.

[Gandalf]

ok, you asked for minimum boss dragon
if we use random place, it will not always be possible to catch them. if it is static, you learn it (the hard way, if needed) and can avoid that position

[rearrow]

well imnot complaining. its close to my castle abd I can kill it

[Gandalf]

new feature: chance:200 means 20% chance (it is calculated by 200/1000).

I think all bosses should have fixed positions. Random works badly. I tried and missed 4 ghost dwarves in a row - they spawned for a moment in faraway places and disappeared...

I disagree I remember when the position was fixed when we first started them there were always controlled by the strongest person. Random is best it gives the underdog and opportunity to kill too
