Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I have done some testing with my guild and so far it looks like this event’s chest got updated along with several other world events. Somehow it got overlooked by the mass player base. Maybe that is due to everyone (including myself) thinking that the Megadestroyer event would be the one to be updated in Mt Maelstrom, but idk.

Anywho, If anyone reading would care to possible further test this event…that would be great.
This is the event: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_Inquest%27s_Golem_Mark_II
The pre is this one: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Disable_the_containers_before_they_release_their_toxins

It takes place in Whitland Flats (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Whitland_Flats) south east of the Infinite Coil Reactor.

If we can 100%confirm it, it might be worth replacing the timer for the Megadestroyer event (who’s loot didn’t get upgraded) with a timer for this one.

I know I for one would enjoy the variety.

Have done four tests today on FA one finishing at 11:05 est and second finishing at 12:45 est both granted rares for everyone involved. Third try finished at 1:45 est…. same results…..4th 2:40 est same result

I think the pre window starts around 45mins after chest spawns.

Tried it and got the same loot as other improved chests (2 rares, 2 greens, 1 blue). Was pretty easy to solo.

Took about 10 minutes to reset after completing the failure condition (collect kelp). The NPC calls out a 3 minute warning when the event is about to start.

Resetting back to the toxic containers once the boss was killed took just under 1 hour (~50 minutes).

Megadestroyer still gives the old loot.

Two people just got Nitro from the Inquest Resources chest at the same time Golem Mark II was taken down. Seems like it’s one of the possible exotic drops from that chest, but I’m not sure if it’s also obtainable from other chests.

Looks like it’ll be added to the site on Monday…..good stuff!

I convinced some guildies and a few randoms to do this event earlier today.

we can confirm that this gives dragon level loot :P

I think that the reason people seem to be under the impression that megadestroyer is the zone event is that megadestroyer has a meta event, but the golem doesn’t

Seems like word is getting around on my server. Last night I went to go check it out and nobody was doing it, though part of that was probably due to the timer on the website showing as like 492345 events out of date, which probably turned people off of that event. Tonight it seemed to go down pretty regularly and pretty fast. I’m really glad that people are starting to know about this event. It’s a lot more interesting than the dragons

I remember back when it was an event hardly touched and I’d solo it still nice to see others enjoying it even if it’s mostly for the loot :P one of the better open world boss battles I’d have to admit.

The timer on the web site looks to keep resetting every hour, but really I think it should be every 2hr. Anet must of decided it was too frequent cause I remember it coming up much more often then it did last night for myself.

The 50mins on the timer is just the time from end of the Golem event to the pre-event window. The pre-event can be failed, which spawns a secondary event that’ll reset the primary pre-event.

Thus 50mins 20min window=70min
50min20min window+failed event+secondary kelp gather= a lot more than 70mins
