GCD for bosses

[Xytreh]

Hi.

Probably been suggested already few times but I'd like to do it myself.
I'm suggesting Global Cooldown (GCD) for bosses. Same thing as for Bug Catching. That means, that bosses would reset some certain day at a specific time.

I believe it comes more handy and way easier for people to remember when they can kill certain boss than it is now.

The current system is annoying, I need to write down, every time I'm killing the boss, when it was (day, hour) to not let it slip or keep to the routine.
That would make player's daily routine clearer and way easier to do.

 

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

personally, -1

there is already a general cooldown for the 20 boss limit, if you do those bosses and follow the same routine every time, it shouldn't be a particular issue, i think that forcing individual bosses to have a cooldown just makes it a force that everyone does the same thing as everyone else, i may have misunderstood what you meant by it, so please correct me if i'm wrong. I just don't think giving individual bosses a general cooldown is a good idea

 

you can also use the ^remindme feature with reborn bot to tell you when you can do the bosses, just do ^remindme 12d [boss] and then you'll be notified when you can do the boss again

 

Also one other thing i thought of, the cooldown is 12 days, which means you can't exactly make a general cooldown because the weeks are 7 days, and 12 is not a multiple of 7, which means it would diminish over time and be a constantly changing cooldown, which could become problematic for some people. The counter to this would be to raise the boss cooldown, which i just don't think would be something that a lot of people would be fond of. 
I'll probably edit in more as i think about stuff

I feel like a Cooldown you can control when it starts is better than a fixed cooldown, i feel like it works for bcc and excavations b/c they are daily activity's that we do every day.  Bosses you usually do in the 2 weeks you get to do them until the cooldown resets.

 

-1 cooldown you can start yourself yourself is better imo

I'm a big fan of global cooldowns, but it's not needed here.

 

The 20 boss limit is already a global cooldown

Every other boss except 1 has a 12 day cooldown from fight.

This means that if you want to you can double boss 2 weeks in a row.

But if you don't want to keep track you can just write two lists of 20 bosses and alternate them. The 12 days means that you have 2 days each week(a weekend mabye) in order to not let the cycle slip. 48h is plenty to stop slippage, so just not required.

 

Tldr: -1 not required, actually a nerf for some players
