I don't think that the great majority of modern gamers even bother checking the forums to be honest - and the amount of activity around here stands as proof for that.

Moreover, there's really no point in arguing against what I said as it was a personal in-game experience. You either consider or ignore it.

And speaking of proper announcements like in any other MMORPGs, the patcher still shows up the image for the Vein Spawn.

Literally the only thing that you could do to ensure coverage of such events and prevent confusion is update that image when the time comes. Usually, 1-2 days after an event ends, its specific picture shows up on the patcher - is that how it should work? I'm not asking you to spam the chat with lines of text that nobody reads anyway - just... update one image.

The lack of in-game notices for such events is worrisome.

If someone doesn't use Discord and doesn't check the Forums regularly, they'll end up like me, wondering what the hell is that Euro 2021 item people keep linking in chat and if it's one of those troll things again.

Say what you want, bring any arguments you want, but a brand new player trying the server will feel completely left out by things like this (and the fact that, usually, other players don't reply seriously in chat doesn't help).

Nevertheless, nice event, neat rewards!

i dont think the metin/boss part is a good idea and ill explain why. In a way, yes it will be easier to figure out the respawn time, but you forgot one aspect of this problem. Some people literally camp these bosses 24/24, for someone who is new to the game or maybe not that good geared for pvp it will be way harder to find any boss (i.e Captain Yonghan). Im telling this from my own experience, because the only way to gather keys for the aqua dragon for me is to be one of the first players that figures out the respawn time of this boss after a maintenance, or to farm at very late hours but thats a hardcore way to do things. Just a thought.

Indeed.

However, the issue wasn't figuring out when did bosses spawn. Those who wanted to know, could easily find out - either by themselves or by snooping around. This meant that lazy people who had no interest in bosses could just skip this information as well.

Now that everyone knows exactly when they spawn, gaining interest for a boss is as easy as looking at the in-game clock.

This is a double-edged sword.

Newbies have it faster knowing when this/that boss spawns and only need to spend time making scrolls.

Dart will have an easier time cycling through every single boss on every CH and KSing everybody.

Speaking of that, I was expecting like 2-3 seconds until CH change (always) and not instant. Certainly the important players won't complain about this in relation to the boss respawn time, but those people that still need to switch EQ when doing them will.
