[Suggestion] The Hidden Timers of Dynamic Encounters

Soarora · July 8

I know now's not a great time but I also don't trust myself to not forget, so I'm posting...

Would it be possible to add the hidden timer behind Dynamic Encounter spawns into the UI when in a zone that has a Dynamic Encounter, like what was done with Night Market? Then we can go do other things and rush to the encounter when its nearing time instead of waiting for 30 minutes staring at the map. This would also make it more like GW2's massive world boss events, though the timer for that is hosted on the wiki.

Suggested something similar in another post, but yes absolutely. Making people stand around waiting is not engaging gameplay. Hope making the encounters a little easier to find / track is something they can look into.

yes visible timers would be awesome

Yes please. I will not bother doing these unless I happen to run into them, because apparently they spawn only every half hour?

I wonder if the timer is accessible in the API somehow and creating an addon to show it would be possible.

I like them as more engaging encounters, but waiting for them is miserable yeah. Having to constantly swap around regions only to find the dynamic encounters is ending doesn't feel too great, or you have the option of waiting 10-30 minutes afk.
