World Boss Issues

All Platforms!

Hello there,

I’m from the german Game Communtiy and reading through the Forums I’m often reading about some Issues about the World Bosses. Here I want to tell about them and we hope those Issues can be fixed soon.

1st Issue: At Spawn Times the World Bosses are often not shown on the Ingame Map. There is no Countdown for the Spawn and no symbol for the pure World Boss or in combination with a tree whisper. People simply don’t see the location and miss the opportunity to get a kill. An example topic for of the german Forums:

2nd issue: Seasonal Kills. For the Season Journey its a goal to kill 15 World Bosses. Lots of people tell they already killed a lot of Bosses, but only a tiny amount of those kills got a count for that goal. If that goes on, a lot of players won’t have a chance to reach that goal during Season. So pls fix that soon.

3rd Issue: Ingame Notifications for coming up World Bosses. There is almost no notification for a coming up World Boss ingame. Yes, there is a countdown, but people might only see it when finding the spawn location on map and only then, with cursor on Boss Icon, poeple can see the countdown for the spawn.

It would be great if there come more prominet notifications that are better to see, maybe on a corner of the HUD while playing. Something that doesn’t dissapear after a few seconds. Something that will also be seeable during dungeon runs. This way people will better get to know about a coming up World Boss without using external websites.

4th Issue: Lots of people in the german forums, and I’m sure also in other european countries, are complaining about the spawn time rotation of the world bosses. Currently the rotation is about 6 hours + - a few minutes. For german players the bosses will spawn at 1 am, 7 am, 1 pm and 7 pm. Those are mostly times people are at work or during night times.

This causes that lots of players almost never get to see a World Boss. This in combination with the count issue for the Season Journey reduces players chances to hit the season goal dramatically!

It would be really great if there comes a change in the spawn time rotation. All people should have a fair chance to hit the season goals and of course to encounter a world boss.

This might be doable by reducing the Spawn Time Rotation to maybe 4 or 5 hours. Bosses would appear more often and more people will have a chance to encounter.

Other solution might be a completely random spawn time for World Bosses. In this case the issue about spawn times during work- and sleep times for european players might still exist, so I recommend the previous option.

5th Issue: World Bosses often doesn’t spawn even if players are at the right location and before the countdown runs out. The Countdown simply runs out and no Boss is spawning.

Thank you for reading and lots of people hope for feedback about Blizzard working on those Issues.

I agree. Thanks a lot.

I can confirm that.
The counter on my end is at 1/15 and is not progressing.

i can confirm that the counter doesnt count the kills

I have not seen a world boss since the last patch. Something is broken. PS5. I wish they’d at least acknowledge these bugs or put a “known issues” thread up on the forum.

Hello, totally agree with the point mentioned above, if possible i’ve played the game daily since the release but due to my fixed playing hours (work+family) i’ve encountered the worldbosses in total max. 5 times! As said just rotated the pattern by each day + 1hrs so everybody can enyoy it from time to time. Thanks.

Several times does not count for me too

i can confirm that the counter doesnt count the kills

Same here for me. 3 skills, Counter 1/15
