New Dragon BHE in /on Summit

Searched for a thread, couldnt find one...

Okies Dragon spawns after a few regular HE's, problem is that the fire on the Summit allows players to just camp there while others do the work to spawn said encounter. Oftentimes its completed before the ones that DID the work to summon it can reach it, mobs and all that. Summit BHE should be on a timer like Omu, Shoshenstar, IWD, etc....

Too many are just camping that fire waiting to jump instances that are being called out in Zone chat for the HE trains running to spawn the BHE and then just transferring to that instance...instant BHE!

You have players asking/begging for Dragon invites which further fuels the problem because people actually invite the campers to the BHE.

Cryptic Devs need to take off their Fantasy glasses and exchange them for Reality Glasses as every player in this game will step on each other if they feel it will benefit them in the long run. BHE should have been on a timer, not based on how many Ambush/Corruption encounters were completed.

Read Zone, Guild Channels, heck even LFG and Trade mention this HAMSTER! I don't make videos, I'm not Silvery, Northside, etc....I'm just a guy who has played this game since day 1 and has seen the mess it became fixed, only to be made a mess again, over and over, rinse, repeat, and the mess it now is again.

Apologize for rant:) But I can't be the only one.

    Or, an even easier solution ... simply remove the campfire at the summit. Then anyone changing instances ends up back at Knox's camp. The group that triggers it will already be at one of the corruption HE sites, so they will be the first ones there.

    Of course, this kind of sucks if you die during the Dragon fight ...

    To be fair players have been asking for ways to trigger a BHE for some time now due to anger at long waiting times for BHEs in legacy areas for example.

    But yeah a better solution is to probably give the dragon like 100million more hit points or something to make th efight last for long enough for folks to get to it in time :)

    Pretty easy solution would be to put a timer when the BHE spawns like Dragonflight in the Strongholds

    No. Simply no. BHEs on a timer are a PITA. Everyone and their mother complains about BHEs in Chult, Barovia and Icewind Dale and rightfully so. BHE timers need to be erased from the game completely!

    Currently, the only acceptable "timer" is the timer in WoD where they start hourly at x:45.

    The same or similar issues is in all mmo rpg games since old till now.

    Now it's bad when few guys do most stuffs, while other sit AFK or simply camping in safe area. And same AFK guys get in fight in very end, land few slaps and claim reward..

    But there are also ones who got disconnected. I mean here is example, you participate in big heroic encouter, do most damage like 60%, then got disconnecte,, you got back in game, and even if you manage to land few hits in very end of BHE, you don't get reaward.. That's also bad..

    If there would be some sort system who could seprate players who stay out of fight on purpose, and ones who have internet issues, then there would be already implemented.
