The perfect Maple boss fight

Not to mention the lag this generates. Remember all the Snowballs falling from the sky at the Snowman boss? THAT was the primary cause of the insane lag that the boss was subjecting channels to. The game has to keep track of all the items on the map, and the time they appeared, and how much time they have left before they disappeared, the quantity in each stack... That's a LOT of information that has to be sent to everyone in the map. Doing that at a big boss which could easily kill you, and then putting your life on the line by making those potions be your only means of healing is just insane.

I don't doubt it was the cause of lag, but the lag can easily be lessened by lowering rate of pot drop and the quantity in each stack thing isn't a problem with pots. Lessened further by making the boss only able to be fought at a certain time of day/certain times per day/certain channels (not zakum, like 5 more channels or something)/ticket admission APQ style (every 10 hours instead of 24 though)/any combination of the aforementioned.

That would easily lower the lag, but i'm not a fan of relying on pots dropping from the sky at a deadly boss fight either, unless i can come back to the fight after a certain amount of time. I just CPQed to 40 last night on my brawler, i died a pomegranate load because i was eating pots like crazy. I'll admit it's exhilarating though when you're in a spot taking damage about to die, and the pot you need is half a map away and you're freaking out.
