I get that, just usually having more channels really amps up the hunt between multiple players
Also, if we are offering ideas, it can be like a Terraria thing - where you can give Pia or some other related NPC a batch of mobs ETC, like 20 snail shells from each color, or X amount of tree branches, leaves, firewood - and they will give you a summon useable that can spawn the boss.
I understand it is really really different from the game, but just thinking aloud
