Murkmire - Boss Max

DeathStalker_X

This idea of a max of 12 players getting loot from bosses is just plain STUPID. Who the heck came up with this???!

This "event" is seriously a waste. Epic FAIL.

It's been like that for years & years. Seems like the kind of thing introduced at some point to block bots/farmers/etc. It wasn't designed around situations where 30+ people would be attacking a boss

And yeah, we've been running into this issue in zone events for years & years as well, long before there were tickets. (I remember large crowds in Hew's Bane, camping the delve bosses to get motifs.)

You don't need to kill a WB to get the drop. Why compete with huge crowds when you can just find a quiet corner with some hoarvors or crocodiles?

I'm surprised bot stacks don't show up at Elsweyr dragons to get in their one hit, die (probably), rez, and collect piles of loot.

I got disconnected at WB due to the size of the crowd, so I just start hunting mobs around that area and got my ticket and box from them. Much easier.
Also, delve has a lower player cap so it will be easier to farm there if you must fight a boss. However the respawn time is like 5 mins for boss in delve

Killed a Troll, got goldbox + 3 tickets, done.

Waited in a delve for the delveboss to respawn every five minutes, deconstructed the gear he dropped, got some hackwing plumage you can sell for 2000-4000 gold each.

It is as simple as that, no need to join the crowds gathering at worldbosses.

Yea I had to turn my graphics settings down but didn't d/c which is surprising since I'm playing on one red bar. Nice to see a zone that populated again though.

And never likely to be that populated once the event end, which is why there’s almost no point in ZOS altering the 12 player looting thing.

It’s exactly like the bosses at dolmens in Alik’r. Only the top 12 players can loot the boss. Everyone gets to loot the chest and gets credit for taking down the dolmen as long as they’ve put in a shot. Dragons are the dolmens, so looting them is like looting the dolmen’s chest.

Everyone doing Murkmire world bosses is likely doing a daily, so they will at least get two rewards per boss.

As far as event tickets go, you’re better off killing mobs.
