    I know some players will hate me for this suggestion, but leveling on BFs is now way too easy. In last time, we had a lot of SC, but GM's were usually killing them. But not today. One SC was about 6 hours ago and GM didnt kill any BF. Next SC was 2 hours ago and again, all BF are live and happy. It's NOT fair. I playing on 4x to have challenge but when I see when someone getting about 10 lvls by killing BF's (on lvls 13x-14x) in one day, this is too fast. I will be rude, but if u don't want kill BF's and Anegos after every SC, let them spawn every 1 hour. Than we won't have problems with finding BFs/Anegos, GM's won't have to kill them 10 times per day because of server checks, everyone will be happy. Well, at least for first month when we suddenly have a lot of 200 lvls. You wiped server because leveling was too easy, so do something now and don't let players kill BF's all day and night, because of 10 crashes per day.

    Well, here's some food for thought before you firmly decide you're against or for this.

    1. Your scenario only applies because recently server crashes were often enough that such a situation arose in the first place. I believe the staff have stated clearly that working on server stability is the highest priority so this is an unlikely issue to occur in the future.

    2. If you think about it, it can be viewed as an unintended way of compensation for the crashes?

    3. It can also serve as a way to balance out the huge population explosion that resulted from summer. Some people have requested for more channels / shorter respawn time in response to this influx, and it is indeed true that almost all most boss maps are wiped out within 1-3 hours, and popular training spots have 8/8 channels full, even skeles.

    As such, this could also be seen as another unintended stopgap solution to counterbalance the increase in population, until a proper decision has been made regarding how to handle the population increase.

    I don't believe anyone got from 13x-14x in 1 day. Too many bfers, and even if that was possible.... it would take them 30 mins-1 hr to kill 1 bigfoot. In that time frame, 20+ bigfoots just went missing.

    Do you have an example of a person? Because this isn't even a scenario. People don't level that fast on BFs. At level 156, I get about 3% per kill, and every time the server restarts, I manage to kill around 4-5 before they are all done.

    Yeah, I don't believe that at all.

    On my DrK in optimal conditions (i.e. no lag), and decent gear, I take 25 minutes to kill a BF. I get 18% with HS, and I'm level 136. DrK's are probably one of the better BF killers.

    The calculations that follow won't completely hold as the EXP curve is exponential rather than linear, but it will give an UNDER estimate. In practice it will be more.

    Let say I always get 18%, throughout my 13x levels.I need to gain 1000%. 1000/18 = 55.6, we'll round that to 56. That is 56 BF's.

    Now at 25 minutes/ kill, that works out to be 23.3 hours. That is completely impossible. A person would have to train all day, and there'd have to be constant BF's. while there were a lot of BF's yesterday, there were hours where there was none. That shrinks the available time window to much less than 24 hours, and well below the 23.3 required.

    Frankly, this invalidates the OP's entire arguement. Next time, argue with fact rather than pulling random numbers out of your head. Thank you.

    The only ones who really benefit from boss rushing after server checks are the handful of classes who do a lot of single target DPS and are at least lvl 150+.

    These are players who can down Anego in less than 10 minutes or can kill Big Foots in less than 7 minutes. Everybody else is stuck grabbing their one Anego (if that) or maybe 1 or 2 Big Foots then moving on.

    I don't really see a real suggestion being provided here.
    OP says that, because of frequent SCs, might as well down the spawn timer to 1 hour.
    But then he also says that people will get to 200 too fast and there's a possibility for a whipe.
    If you already see a negative result happening from your suggestion, why suggest it in the first place?
    Sounds like the OP is just upset at missing out on bosses. Heck, I also miss out on bosses due to my irregular play time but it's only a game, so I got over it.

    Edit: Sorry if I'm being too direct. I just thought I'd steer the discussion back to the original suggestion, rather than continuing the discussion of how fast you can down BFs.

    Sorry for my topics. I had hard time IRL last days and I was very stressed because of this. Sorry again.
