Highly Notorious Monsters

[firepixiedarien]

Open-World HNMs with "good" items, should meet the following requirements in order to succeed and win the Internet:

1. Challenging to fight

2. Fun to fight (the HNM constantly does special moves or attacks with unique animations that are beautiful to watch. this doesn't mean make the HNM harder, for all I care make these "aesthetic" moves do 1 point of damage)

3. Drop items that are one tier below "real" instanced content

4. Allow anyone at anytime to engage and fight it

5. Allow anyone who has engaged it, and within 10 levels of the "Suggested Level" to fight it, be able to lot on its drops (so assuming it's a boss that would give the entire server of Level 50's trouble in defeating it, a Lv1-39 can assist, but cannot lot on drops)

6. 6 hour respawn timer, to allow people from all 4 different schedules of a day (morning, afternoon, evening, midnight) a crack at it
