Elite Mob Text

Sweetpatch

There seems to be an issue or just something that would be a nice quality of life change that could be done to the elite mob text. It occurs when the elite mob spawns and the text of the elite mob summoning appears and is killed before this text is allowed to dissipate. This leads to the text which should follow, notifying whether the map is "grim" or "dark", to not appear. One easy trick is to wait until the original text disappears before killing the elite mob, but recently a problem has come up. The most recent patch introduced the zombie elites which are much weaker than regular elite mobs. Because over half of the higher level training maps are filled with botters, they instantly kill the zombie mobs and cause this issue to occur. Hopefully there is a relatively simple fix where the post-text can somehow override the original one and allow the grim/dark text to appear. Another solution could be to introduce a similar invincibility time period that elite bosses have so they can not die before the original text disappears.

But botters don't look at the messages, so who cares if they can't be seen?

Unless, of course, you're elite-hunting in botters' maps, in which case I have zero sympathy for you.

I like to hunt each channel until and elite spawns and check for the "dark" maps but most of them are taken by botters.
