Spotting
To get your server and dimension, use shift + f9 and check your system tab. Try to include it in your spot to help identify different sessions of the same zone boss.
BF and SF calls should include location. Do NOT tell the spotters asking for the loc.
If you make a mistake, just correct it on the chat and apologize. It happens, don't worry about it. In the same way, if anyone makes a mistake, just tell them nicely, or get Wrong-Way or myself to find out what's going on.

Info
Each misson has a 2 hour cooldown, which you get after its killed
- When you have killed it, you should get a mission with a reward bag
- Rewards can be: bullions, pet, signet bag, eye patch, monocle or glowing green eyes
- Opening a loot bag and receiving black bullion or a clothing item only sends a message to your Loot channel, which is normally autosubscribed to General tab. If you opened a loot bag and got nothing in the inventory, you likely got Black Bullion or clothing

Please don't:
* ask for group invite or raid invite
* have pets up when fighting any of the guardians

Befriend and meet up to get to the boss instance.

Guardian Tactics
If you have aggro do NOT pull the golem outside the area, it will reset it

SD: Reflects 1-800 dmg, bombardment attack
CoSG: Persistant circle on tank and big doughnut AOE (hollow middle for melee)
FUSANG: same as CoSG but heals for 50k for each target he hit with circle (kill not needed for the achevement "The Bigger They Are")

TSW 1 Year Anniversary FAQ

You do NOT need a group, add to friends list, right click, Meet Up, go to the spawn point, and do damage on the bosses.
-Boss kills are rewarded by a side mission each with a 2hr cooldown.
-Each instance (server) can spawn a Gatekeeper individually, so one boss can be active on multiple servers at once. It's NOT helpful to call out where there are not bosses. Please don't ask, just wait for spotters to call out the fights.
-If you meet up with a person announcing a boss is up and you don't see anything when you get there, they aren't trolling you, their instance is full. They don't know. All instances/areas have a limit on how many players can join.
-Currently all bosses are active! MistNebula spotted Trans!
-You'll get a loot bag from missions which may contain a miniature pet, one for each boss (9 total). You may receive an clothing item, flares, signets, or Black Bullion.
-You will get massive lags and FPS drops in the boss fights even with high end GPUs. Please despawn pets and avoid AoE spamming to improve fps.
-Most bosses do an AoE which instakills. In the City, safest place is right behind the boss. SD boss has a leech when it afflicts you and damages when hit, bring heals.
-Do NOT ask for group invites. Instead friend people who say they're with the boss or gatekeeper and meet up. It's the only reliable way to join their fight. CF and BF calls need to include map coords.
Lore and boss locations
KM 680,700 SC 18,559 BM 631,265 SD 524,637 CoSG 760,890 BF varies often 982, 919 SF 447,555 Fangs Anywhere, mostly in the ravine near 360,950
Please mark them on your map, don't ask people to explain them to you.

TSW 1 Year Anniversary Known Issues

-I am not dealing with Fusang, we cannot coordinate it here, so don't ask me about it, please leave the channel clear for callouts.
- There is a graphic bug going on with the SF fight causing screen flicker and grayout. Seems to be an environmental filter malfunction. Fixes range from simply changing your graphic level, to entirely rebooting your computer, you'll have to try what works for you, we can't help you with it.
-Please don't ask about bugs, this is not the channel for that. We are here to coordinate efforts.
-Opening a loot bag and receiving black bullion or a clothing item only sends a message to your Loot channel, which is normally autosubscribed to General tab. If you opened a loot bag and appeared to get nothing, you likely got Black Bullion or clothing. Please talk about loot on #annitrade
-Many people are killing themselves on the SD boss. This isn't a bug. When he afflicts you, he leeches, and when hit he can do damage. Take off afflictions, please, and bring heals or leech if possible.
-Everyone's painfully aware that the extremely crowded fights are creating huge latency and lag. Please don't post your fps to channel, it helps nothing and informs noone.
-Switching to DX9, dropping video settings to Low, can help somewhat. So can turning off vicinity player nametags in the Interface Options in your Settings (F10), this can be a huge relief on your fps.
-/setoption SpellEffect_DisplayLevel 4 will turn all particle effects off and can reduce the load AOEs put on you HOWEVER they will make some effects disappear entirely. /setoption SpellEffect_DisplayLevel 0 to reverse the effect.

Type: /chat join anniversity to join the channel, remember you can click the + in the upper right corner to add it.
