World Bosses: collated data.

Lag and related issues can be fixed by adjusting video and interface options. I use min. settings, particles off, low and show none, in interface options turn off name tags (I leave bosses name on) and set damage #s to 1.5 in size. Whenever logging on to go fight the WB it is important to check settings, sometimes they are saved, sometimes not. I have also found that WB glitches can effect your modem, I have reset modem and helped the lag problems. Your settings all depend on your system so play with settings until you find what works best for you.

Now boss sometimes drops empty boxes

Now boss sometimes drops empty boxes

Yes, this should be checked out Funcom. Hours of running around chasing a boss to get nothing.

Now boss sometimes drops empty boxes

This is a temporary error and will be fixed at least by the time the next boss is up.

Yeti Boss and general WB feedback: Fights take quite a long time. It's a fun fight for the first few times but after that it is not so much fun. Participation from players is less and less making the fight last even longer. The longer the fight last, the more people go afk, myself included. The lag is better with less people in the zone so I like that, but the fights are just SO LONG. Not worth doing more than a couple times in my opinion with the amount of time needed to kill the boss vs the chance of usable loot.

Fight design makes no one want to tank it. Aggro holder is constantly CCed to oblivion and makes it zero fun. Why bother tanking if you can just dps instead...

While too late for this year, Funcom should seriously consider not using the Yeti boss for next years circuit.
