we need to have alternative way to obtain proof of valor's!

  • its very hard to get proof of valor's for elites when people farm those bosses and wont take people who needs elites in count. my recommendation would be that remove any loot that would be beneficial for endgame content from Wodjin and maybe reduce the spawning time as well so people could farm that boss for elites. OR make alternative way to obtain proof of valor

  • "it's an MMO" is not a valid answer, if you look how guild wars 2 or other big mmo's handle they'r games its totally different. Its always different people who kill these, so the only way is realistically to afk at the boss or wait for maintenance and see when it spawns and ask for help. last time my guild mate told me he kill blind hackman in 3am, i had to go work in the morning so cant be up late at night. today i got 1 proof of valor because it was server maintenance and i knew world bosses are up, first i went to mandara but sadly the one who killed it ignored me and just looted all then i went to wodjin and this time i got 1. now i need to wait for next maintenance or afk 24hours witch is not really good practice for a game, even if its mmo. we know how unpopular timegated stuff is in games and it would be only beneficial for game developers if there would be real reason behind it, in this case its unnecessary. lets face it, it is an issue and should be worked somehow. i would be totally ok if they would make proof of valor an itemshop item as well.

  • Try contacting the people who farm these bosses. If there are no world shouts, maybe they help you if you ask because in the end, it's an MMO.

    Sure " it's an MMO " is not a valid answer for a lot of reasons :


    I am a " good family's father " so I work every day to earn my family's living. I am not one of these eternal student, unemployed or annuitant who can spend all their days and nights camping world bosses...


    Those who camp are not friendly for greed is their motivation and respawn time is kept as a secret treasure... So as soon as the boss appear it is killed and there is no welcome for helping those they call noobs.


    It's been going on for years preventing players to achieve their quests and gain their elit skills...


    A very small group of players monopolize the game and the proofs of myths (POM). It leads to the organization of POM reward based events that make us for a week hamsters in their golden wheel... It also leads to inflation and unfair trade for those who collect all server POM each day became insolently rich.


    I propose years ago another way for POM. POM are only collected on furious boss. So boss should not be in furious mode when it respawn. There should be items (similar at Krolin's shear) that will made it furious. These items should be rare and could be find while farming by everyone. So those who pretend monopolise world boss should trade with those who find these items. And no one will have interest in killing world boss except to do his quest, to complete his elite or, if he has got the precious item, to collect POM...


    In this way it could be an MMO and not a greed game with greed people.


    And I am not naive, those who will claim that this idea is not good have an interest in the current situation persisting.

    "En vérité la Présence était Rose et en forme de Licorne. Mais si puissante était-Elle, que je ne pus la contempler. Aussi, la nommons-nous la Licorne Invisible Rose ; sa présence est trop incommensurable pour que nos faibles yeux la voient et nos faibles esprits la conçoivent. C'est par notre foi que nous savons qu'Elle est Rose, et qu'Elle est une Licorne. Et vraiment ceux qui disent le contraire sont des hérétiques et des infidèles !"

  • I agree with most points being made here. Having the elite skills tied to the world bosses is really dumb. It's like when the old peak quest required you to do the latest 3 hardmodes 100 times just to continue leveling lol.
    This has always been a bit of a problem but in the last year or 2 a lot of us have gotten insanely geared and can solo these furious world bosses even without alts now making this problem even worse.

    PoM wise though what were you guys doing during that last event? Haunted house gave out more poms than any event ever has before on top of free hardmode gear, I got so many killing a worldboss right now seems like a waste of time haha

    They fixed peak system relatively fast and as people have discussed about that they keep polishing it for the future so fixing this should be possible as well.

  • I have to agree with the original poster. the lack of PoM's is very noticable on the server these days

    He's not talking about PoMs, he's talking about the item for the 60 elite quest.


    Elite skills being tied to the world bosses imo is fine, they already adjusted it in the past that normal mode bosses work for them as well. Many wb zones are being restarted daily however which is allowing the bosses to be camped as soon as they spawn giving no chance for players to do the quests or get elites. But generally if you know who is farming the wb they should be happy to let you hold a boss sometime. At least that's how it worked when i was soloing wb in the past. Also worth looking into tergothen bay bosses as they are usually up the most.

    They never fixed it, still broken as shit xD

    The world boss situation is stupid, no denying that. The whole proof currency itself is also stupid from the start and i wish they'd just let it die out. Proof events arent the solution to the problem regarding proofs, despite everyone thinking so. World bosses should've always just dropped stats directly rather then a currency to go buy extra items imo. The currency itself just lets people horde and control them which doesn't help the stat market grow. Players on proof events are better off selling the proofs to rich desperate people then try and pull for themself, This shouldn't be the case imo.


    I actually like the idea of using items on them to make it furious similiar to Krolin, but seems unlikely after 6 years that these bosses would be changed.


    PoM wise though what were you guys doing during that last event? Haunted house gave out more poms than any event ever has before on top of free hardmode gear, I got so many killing a worldboss right now seems like a waste of time haha

    Events aren't really the solution though. Killing the world bosses are not hard as you said, even without alts. *removed by Jinsoyun* But it's force of habit, not much to do ingame, When i quit the other wb farmer had over 30k proofs at least, and im sure since then he's gone on to keep farming to almost 40k+.

  • OR make alternative way to obtain proof of valor

    An easy quick fix would be to add them to the peak vendor. Essences cost 12 fragments, Proof of Valor should probably cost quite a bit less considering that most peak quests send you to a high level instance not suited for level 60 chars.
