To contribute with the idea and realization of the boss system being a permanent addition to the game, since solo bossing is out of the question. An attempt to mitigate it at the very least.
There are 7 days. 24 hours in a day. So i might have a workaround that favors ALL of the major regions the playerbase has. (US, EU (including UK) and Australia).
The solution: Spawn the bosses every day with a fixed timer (think dino and dragon spawns), but make them spawn in strides of roughly 3.5 hours.
The scenario would be as followed...
All Boss Spawn time:
Monday: 06:00
Tuesday: 09:30
Wednesday: 13:00
Thursday: 16:30
Friday: 20:00
Saturday: 23:30
Sunday: 03:00
If a boss is not fought before the NEXT spawn time, it will be overwritten with the new spawn time.
This could perhaps be a decent workaround to allow equal potential of participation as well as missing out, for all time zones. Perhaps the weekend times could be specifically tweaked considering people are generally more free at those days. It's but a draft/an idea.
The new boss reward should warrant an reinforcement of spawn times to give everyone an equal opportunity.
