Wandering 10m HP boss in Deadlands

Today was my first time discovering Deadlands and imagine my shock when I happened upon a wandering boss; such an awesome thing to have a filthy powerful boss wandering around in Deadlands, just waiting for champions to fight him. This is the kind of overland material we need more of. I tried to fight it solo but, yeah, all I did was shield and roll dodge, not very effective so it was time to call for BACKUP!! And backup came! So much fun!

However, I was hoping that the reward would be something unique instead of regular boss drops. Something you can change perhaps?

Anywho, awesome job with these wandering bosses! Thank you ZOS for listening to us on this. :)

    Exactly, PvE not only in ESO but also in most games lacks randomness, that element of surprise: "oh my gosh, this is something new!". It is this "unknown and unpredictable element" that makes us look for new games, that makes us look for new challenges. New solutions introducing this element of surprise bring a breath of fresh air even in older content. And yes, such bosses could give something more, something that makes us feel a thrill of excitement when we meet one of them because we know we're in for an epic fight and then a great reward.

    TLDR;
    This is a really great addition! We want more with better rewards!
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    You should check out Elsweyr sometime. There are wandering bosses with even more HP there that would easily defeat wandering Deadlands bosses.

    I've never seen a single wandering boss in Elsweyr since I got the expansion at launch. Are you sure you're not mistaken?

    Pretty sure they're referring to dragons.
    PC NA, CP2500+. Character creation is the true endgame.

    Yeah and they have clearly defined landing zones, so not truly wandering

    Wandering bossess in deadlands are not truly wandering either, they have clearly defined spawn spots (4 of them, you can see them in MapPins addon) and they walk back and forth close to them.

    No idea about MapPins so I found it by accident. It was so much fun to just find it wandering around.

    Likewise, if you didn't look at maps you would assume dragons were "wandering" as well, but at much greater ranges.

    It's not really the same thing since you can't attack dragons until they land. The wandering bosses are open business instantly.
