Bosses fall into the following types, with increasing levels of difficulty and loot tables, requiring greater numbers of players to kill.

• Elites.
• Hunting ground bosses.
• Mini-bosses.
• Dungeon bosses.
• Raid bosses.
• Regional/world bosses.
  • Legendary world bosses.

• Boss respawns will be randomized within certain windows and over variable locations.
  • Bosses may also spawn based on predicates that can be met at any time, such as when a story arc or an event begins somewhere in the world.

Generally in my experiences, when you have a fixed respawn time, you run into the potential situations where the powerhouses of the server can keep a particular boss on lockdown; and you don't want to create that type of a situation; and so one of the ways that we can help to alleviate that is by having windows of respawn times- and we've all experienced this in the MMOs that we've played. It's not necessarily known when exactly to coordinate with your large guild who needs to be online when; and this can give a little bit of a leg up on the competitive advantage front for other guilds that might be more smaller knit, or more niche to organize quickly in response to the time window of a respawn. – Steven Sharif

• Certain bosses and creatures will have voice lines along with other audio cues.
• Some bosses and encounters will feature specific original sound tracks composed by Bear McCreary.

• Named mobs/bosses will usually have a unique character appearance.
