Humedras world boss

[Prof. Insanity]

What's up with this boss actually,
I'm hunting him now for two months and seen him finally once after the server came back online not even seconds.
Unfortunaly he died where I joined in.
How much HP does he have? One hit?

Seriously, this has nothing to do with luck anymore, either fun hunting him.
To get him you seriously need no life and press "connect" 24/7 when the server comes back online to random times always, it's like people have nothing else to do anymore the 5 hours of planned maintence.

Gameforge know about the issue but aren't doing anything to fix it. A guild mate reported it and Support they gave her a copy-pasted reply that they couldn't give her tips about the game. It's beyond retаrded.

Regarding the maintenance hours - I personally have complained about it long ago but was told it was an approximate end time, so yeah, they basically have done nothing to improve there. It's like there kids are immature teenagers in Gameforge.

I can provide quotes later.

the main problem is that allot of world bosses have a insane ammount of respawn time, from 3 hours up to 72 hours, and due to different spawn places its impossible to actually find it before it gets killed already

My guildmate:

Hello, Just wanted to be sure if it's an bug or not, The spawn time of 'Humedras' world boss(In Ex Prima) supposed to be 3 hours, just like all other Northern Arun World bosses.
But, Me and a lot of players have waited for it almost 2 weeks, It shown that it spawn only in 1 channel and only right after maintenance, So just if you could tell me What the exact time of it's spawn? and the timer of It's Cooldown, please.

Support:

Here's a comment of mine from exactly 6 months ago.

Tuesday maintenance announcements are useless because the 'estimated' end time is always inaccurate, which makes these announcements all the more pointless as players can't plan world boss/rare mob hunting etc and no-one wants to spend over 1 hour waiting for servers to randomly come online.

Weekly maintenance: 04.10.2016 - 40 minutes early.
Weekly maintenance: 27.09.2016 - 45 minutes late.
Maintenance (Patch 47) - 20.09.2016 - 1.5 hours early.
Weekly maintenance: 13.09.2016 - 55 minutes early.
Maintenance - server merge: 06.09.2016 - 1 hour late.

Quoted from Why no maintenance tomorrow?[board.tera.gameforge.com]

As you can see, nothing has changed since. And this has been the case for years now. Yesterday's maintenance finished 45 minutes early as well, so good luck next week on Thursday. Maybe they'll stick to their timeframe for once.

They supposedly do not. Hence my guildie's report from 2 months ago. Support just couldn't care less.

my friends have been hunting for some specific ones aswell, so we all took on some bosses all 3 just 1 location and call eachother if the boss spawned, we were on the same spot listed on maps from guides just killing random monsters for a nice 10 hours without even a glimpse of the boss, and we've done this now 8 times without any luck.

on some other posts we've read that it could take from 3 hours all the way to 72 hours for a BAM to respawn, but if what nyoka said is true then how come we've never encountered any BAM after 10 hours on the specific place for it

Except for Humedras the only world boss I didn't found yet was Maivo (?), the crab boss in Scythera Fae. But seen every other boss at least twice up to five time already specific or randomly.

The point which TERA-Support pointed out that they can't give away cooldowns, is normal to me. But this "Puzzle" and "Secret" talk is little bit over rated to me already, EVERYONE knows where Humedras is, and when not, Tera-Wiki tells you in 5 seconds. And the problem that he is technically never on spot is too known.

I asked my guild mates and they were directly like, "Yea, wait after maintence" "Spawns only after maintence" & "I never seen this boss in my life, but playing this game for years".

That they bring up the servers back online a hour earlier or something is nice too, but here is a massive main problem.
Where I spammed 24/7 too yesterday where I seen him for the first time, the steam maintence post that the servers come back online came way to late, like 5 minutes.
Nothing wrong with it that they post it little bit later, it's nice they post it at all, but in this situation it's frustrating because you have to predict before they post when the server comes back online. No offensive at all at this note.

The point with making friends is useless too, you have a time radious only of seconds to find and make the first hit on Humedras after the server comes back online, I asked the guy who attacked humedras yesterday quickly if the party up with me and another a guy who was staaring at him too.
NO COMMUNICATION at all.
Next week I activate PK mode and kill simply the guy when he doesn't communicate, is this the solution Tera want? I don't think so, but the only solution in my opinion now.

Before this change, low level world bosses had a respawn time of 12 or 18 hours, while Val Oriyn ones had 3 days (= 72 hours) to reappear. Evidently, this was changed - both the number of wb's needed for achievements and their respawn time. I've taken the time to find you official info. Whether they lied on purpose or spread misinformation due to bad wording is not up to me to tell.

This said, Support must at least confirm the respawn time. It's in the bloody patch notes. It's not a secret. lmao And if there's a bug with this BAM or an error in the official information they have given us, this MUST be communicated with the players.

No, it's not. They've been doing maintenance on Tuesdays for years now. How hard can it be to say maintenance will last until 12 o'clock and resume access at 12 o'clock, not randomly before that?

What about people on PvE servers? :D
They must at least change the way kills are counted to match the daily guild BAM - you hit it even once and it counts for you, so you can advance the guild quest, respectively get the kill count for the achievement. Currently, only the party of the first person to hit the world boss gets the kill count (and crappy drops). Joining a party while the fight is in progress or arriving after the start won't do it for you. You have to be both in party AND in range (I believe that's 100 m) when the BAM is engaged and killed. So you gotta make/join a party if you're not alone and the BAM must be reset if the fight has already started.
