Guild Wars 2

Just curious to why this meta event didn’t get a loot upgrade?

Please yes. This event has had terrible loot since launch. Always 4 items. I did a couple of runs since latest patch. 3 blues and 1 green jewel. Worse then entry level meta events. And Megadestroyer chest is a large one so one would expect more loot. This is my favorite event, so much more fun than the static dragons run up and chop their hands stuff. And considering this one requires more teamwork to get runing it seems like it sould be rewarded better.

AGREED!!!! Had my guild help me do this event last night. It was lots of fun, more fun than the dragons to be honest. Exciting battle, kill the Destroyer, loot chest for 3 blues. Hurray! While lots of fun, I don’t think too many guildies will ever come back to do this event with me again because the loot sucks so bad.

I had almost the same experience with my guild. Loved the fight. Hate the loot. Probably won’t be back unless all other events are on cool down. The blues didn’t even pay for my waypoint cost when vendored.

agreed.

The sheer fact that Froze Maw in the beginner’s area gives you better loot since last patch (at least 1 rare), I feel that Megadestroyer should give you at least more than 4 items.

In all of my megadestroyer run, I managed to pull an exotic once (Drakevenom), but that’s ONE time, and I was only there to farm me some claws

I’ll hop in on this. We do the megadestroyer all the time because it’s probably the most fun boss event in the game. We did him post patch and were a bit suprised to see his chest wasn’t updated like the other bosses.

Please fix this guy’s loot!

Didn’t they just fix his loot with a build today?

Notes say they fixed his chest to be properly lootable once per day but didn’t say anything about fixing what’s in the chest. I’ll have to check later so see if he’s handing out rares like the others now.

At work today so haven’t read/seen the patch note. Hopefully they fixed it cause its a really fun event.

Ha I’m at work as well & he is really fun to fight. I’m hopeing for better loot as well. The patch itself says:

“Fixed a bug with the chests that spawn for The Claw of Jormag, The Fire Elemental, and the Volcano Destroyer Boss. They are lootable once a day per character as intended.”

Perty much what Pope said, but I was just thinking when I read it “Why would they spend the time to make the chest one day lootable…unless?!”

Wishful thinking :P

Awww, chest was not upgraded. 3 blues and 1 green medallion.

Please fix this Anet!

Three blues and a gem. Terrible and it’s such a great fight too.

Did it last night and horrible loot. Please patch this too match the Maw drops.

Because Megadestroyer isn’t a world boss like Shadow Behemoth or the dragons.

If you’re looking for a world boss in Mount Maelstrom, go to Whitland Flats and complete the event chains to summon Golem Mark II. Bring everyone you can.

Not everyone knew about this world boss. I wonder why.

Do you or anyone else know if it’s chest received the updated loot? Once I get back ig I’ll check it out.

Did they buff his chest? Inquest Resources? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inquest_Resources
It doesnt read on wiki that it got a buff, but I’m not home to loot the chest myself.
(And maybe no one has updated wiki if it was buffed)

Id consider Megadestroyer more of a “World Boss” because of the amount of work you have to put in to get his chest. But its a great Meta-Event too.

You get rares from the Inquest Resources chest. I got Jaws of Death from it 5 days ago.

Guaranteed rares?

Update…I went and tested The Golem Mark II and it’s Inquest Reward Chest…..it looks like it DID get updated as everyone doing the event (in my instance) got at least 1 rare. Ofc further testing will help confirm w/o shadow of a doubt.

I’m very surprised this got overlooked by the mass player base…very nice call Geekfox!

Now to get the timer updated to include this event.

I just did the megadestroyer event in the hopes that the 3/8 patch fixed the chest to match the other world boss events. Sadly, they did not. Still 4 items. 2 blue 2 green.

I seriously would call the megadestroyer a world boss. He is so much harder to kill than then some of the other guys labled world bosses. This event is soo much fun too!!!

World bosses are identified by having a large portrait above its health bar. Megadestroyer only has a champion rank.

While this is true about the Megadestroyer status, other non “world bosses” have had their chests increased. The Maw shaman is only a champion, as are the Dredge Commissar and Ulgoth. The Orr temples are guarded by Legendary level mobs, and do not have the large portrait either. I don’t recall if the Eye at the end of Zho’qafa is legendary or champion. So I feel that the “it’s not technically a world boss” argument doesn’t hold in this case.

Regardless, I hope that missing Megadestroyer is considered an oversight. Especially compared to the Mk II Golem, he requires more coordination and has a longer lead-in chain of events.
