[VC] World Boss Homepage Reminder

Yesterday we rolled out an update where World Bosses that are available to attack will now be displayed on your homepage and on the Boss listing page. World Boss participation has been a concern over the last while (especially on Kano Play server 2) so hopefully this change will turn some of that around.

Currently this notification will appear if you are level 11 and higher and have at least one Stamina. Additionally, if there are two World Bosses currently active the oldest one will be displayed.

You can press the red X in the top right of the notification which will hide this reminder for the remainder of the World Boss's current life.

 

great update! i only have one problem...when a boss is on its last day, it only gives you the option to hit it with a 5 stam attack when a bigger stam attack is available...cost me 4 attacks on the zs world boss...not the end of the world but maybe they could fix that?

 

Noted. We ran into a space issue there so we might have to redesign the buttons for this to accommodate the sliders.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

no problem...or you could put a reminder there letting us know its the last day of battle instead of the power attack option...that might be an easier fix

 

Well there is the countdown clock there But I hear ya. We could make it more obvious that the boss is in the final hours.

 

or you could replace the 1 Stamina attack button, as I doubt that anyone will use it

 

yeah yeah, i noticed that right after i made that post but the most notable things are the attack links...i didnt look to see how much time was left, i just saw a new feature and used it lol...instead of it showing the older boss, make it show the most recent...either way its a reminder to check on the other

 

thanks for this update,
and now both of the world bosses are displayed alternatively and they can be attacked without scrolling through all the bosses, I can say this update become really useful

 

You are welcome! The Stamina slider will now show for the Power Attack in the final hours of the boss as well.

 

great update but its been a bit glitchy....there have been at least 2 or 3 diff occasions where the boss reminder didnt appear even though both world bosses were available for attack by me...besides that, i love it

 

Could be you are out of Stamina or you don't have enough health to perform the attack.

 

didnt pay attention to that at the time but i have noticed afterwards that when im not healed it wont pop up so that was probably it

 

Could that be changed? Even if im in hospital i see the pop up? This would make ppl heal constantly, and remind everyone that there is a World boss up there...

 

thats actually a good idea kevin...how bout it smackster?

 

My aprehension with making this change is that one of the purposes of this reminder is to engage players who are not familiar with the World Bosses. It is not desireable for their first action to be a Failed message due to low health.

I'll give it some more thought though.

 

well you could add the heal link in between the health and the boss timer

 

This may give the UI designer nightmares I'll mull some options over.

 

My guess is, that you just should remove checking the health to show the reminder, and the boss will give you the healing option anyway.

 

See my previous comment about engaging new players. We don't want their first interaction with a World Boss to be a Failed/Thwarted/etc response. However after giving this some thought we could look to ignore the health req for players above a certain level. Or possibly if they have already attacked this instance of the world boss.

Stay tuned.

 

thats actually a good idea, it could be after level 300 or 100, either way they wont be new players anymore
