Ok ik this has been voted on once already. And this rule has caused some issues. So i just wanna see how many would want to change it. So plz state your thoughts on this. I think 1/2 or 3/4 hp is better than lock. So plz just state if u like rule or want different rule. With what % hp left.

Half or 3/4 are a bit subjective. Lock is the only thing that you can get a real lock on, so if there is a rule, I like that one. People can say 'here' when they get there and then 'lock' when it locks, and we can review if there is any doubt.
Personally though, since a lot of people wait/camp these bosses and there are often more than enough people at each (which takes a lot of fun out of the fights), unless the person is needed to help, I would think that once it starts, that it is it, you can't dice.

Lock should be rule for every boss unless needed for quests.

I like lock. And agree that we need all who arrive to announce themselves so we know whether they got there on time or not.

The trouble with lock is that it's so subjective.
It depends on how many groups and the comparative level of what is being killed.
If all of our 180+ were solo, ungrouped, at a Spider Queen fight it could potentially not lock the entire fight, since no one person may do enough damage to lock it at their level. Meaning someone could show up when the boss had 1hp left and get to dice, since it had not locked yet.
I believe that's why the OP stated 50 or 75%, since those are more concrete values. The time when it locks can vary.

yes, it may vary, but it often early, and it is concrete and much easier to enforce.

I vote lock and if lock is not achieved by 75% then that rule applies . It should then be down to dm to decide if people made it in time so shout up as soon as u arrive if your on the borderline of 75% . The dm decision should then be respected without argument.
