It did cause a large amount of griefing, and while fun they just didn't like us having fun =[ You could say the large number of rares the put in for WotlK were world bosses in a sense but they also had rares in bc and vanilla(though vanilla rares sucked) however they also had world bosses too.
It sucks =[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...us/matt/simple - My priests armory

He was talking about world bosses that require coordination and reward loot, killing Velen does not offer either. Originally Posted by Azalu

Fair point, i don't see the point of world bosses. The only people I can see wanting these back are griefers. If it's a raid boss what does it matter if it's outside a raid? Originally Posted by Edriel

Valnoth:
"There are a COUPLE of these bosses in Cataclysm, but they're not true outdoor raid bosses. They're just much harder group bosses that drop heroic dungeon level items and specialty items. Have fun!"

"A good STRONG 5 player group should be able to handle these bosses, but you certainly have the option to make a raid and give it a shot as well. Good luck."
EDIT: I suppose these will, in some way, be the new rare elites that are supposed to be rare... but at the same time goddamn hard.Last edited by overneathe; 2010-11-17 at 01:15 AM.

Standing there with a raid at level 60 in a pvp server for hours waiting for a boss to spawn, having an alliance guild showing up and wiping you multiple times, while trying to deal with scrubs running in and ruining it for people. This is not fun. Good riddence.

Because you can do a lot more with an instanced boss than you can with a world one. They also don't have to deal with bitching from a faction because the oppisite faction is camping the boss.

From a post further in the topic that I linked a couple posts earlier:
"For any wondering, Garr is located behind Sulfuron Spire, and surrounded by 8 level 86 elite adds. The adds have 801k health each, he has 25, 767k."
I suppose that is hardcore enough. It's pretty much a heroic 5man outdoor boss, considering his HP and the help of the adds. Some chaps in the beta managed to 4man the boss, but it took them 12 minutes to do so. He dropped some 81 BoP pants, ilvl300. I assume the gear that is dropped by such bosses is gonna get a significant boost when Cata goes live.
I also think the gear is still gonna remain BoP so that the bosses don't get camped for profit.Last edited by overneathe; 2010-11-17 at 01:14 AM.

I found what you wrote funny. Then it occurred me, that I have never done the factions leaders as a Horde. Now I want to try it. Originally Posted by Edriel

There are 3-4 confirmed "boss level" rare spawns... they MIGHT be 5 manned when they are Epic geared... at 25 million health these are far "tougher" than 5 man Heroics... as far as I am concerned.. they are Cataclym's answer to "World Bosses"
For scale int e following image... the smaller elementals are about the size or slightly bigger than a player... Garr is pretty big...
