Guild Wars 2

SB is a joke, Jormag is a joke, The Shatter is a joke, Golem is a joke, Jungle Wurm is a joke so please, revamp all these word events.

The champions should be another challenge, but they aren’t… a small group (zerg) just crumble any champion they can find, in my opinion the champion health should vary according to the zerg size.

That…is basically why they revamped Tequatl, because the world bosses were such pushovers. They buffed the other bosses at the same time, although that was mostly simple numeric tweaks rather than major overhauls like Tequatl.

Personally, I’m expecting Shatterer and Jormag, being dragon minions, to get some major revamps sooner or later to make them more challenging, and I hope Shadow Behemoth, Jungle Wurm, and the others stay more or less as-they-are. I like the difficulty of Tequatl, but I like the low-to-mid intensity of the other world bosses as well, so I don’t think they all need to be soul-crushing nightmares.

Personally I’ve been having fun with them since even before they gave good rewards. I hope they don’t make any of the other events any ‘harder’(aka frustrating/unfun).

Please, just no. Or at least not all of them. Some of us don’t have the resources to field a guild of 100 people to do it.

I enjoy the Golem changes. People actually die now.

Fire Ele is ok, but it is kind of a bummer that there is no good job for melee now. Maybe add more/stronger flying elementals?

Everything else could use a buff to damage and maybe new attack skills.

NOT more health!

ps – Nerf Claw’s health.

I think Karka queen, Fire elemental and Mark II are in a good spot now. Shadow behemoth, Maw and some others are still too kitten , those should be made more interesting and challenging similar to Mark II (not Tequatl-level). The other dragon minions should get the Tequatl treatment imo (Shatterer, Claw and Mega destroyer).

Whatever happened to actual event dynamic scaling?

It seems like we’re given one of two possibilites currently, with world bosses: A set encounter difficulty type (Tequatl) where a predetermined amount of champions and vets and such spawn, and seemingly no scaling occurs (Aside from champion health, defiant and damage seemingly)

And events that scale very poorly, that apparently need to be manually tweaked and bug fixed over time. (Orr temples, primarily Lyssa and Grenth. They’re in a good spot now, but it took quite a lot of tweak time).

I think given the fact that these bosses have yet to get a complete overhaul, Fire Elemental, Golem MK II, Karka Queen and Jormag are in a good spot right now. The Golem MK II fight in particular was incredibly fun to learn and play out, even if I still think it has just tad bit too much health. Jormag needs further tweaking to make it more interesting, but it’s a very good start.

The Shatterer has turned into even more of a ridiculous HP loot pinata as the changes to make him more challenging have failed to do so really. Same goes for Maw’s Shaman. I can literally auto attack and AFK, as it seems to take a good ten minutes to actually kill him now.

I almost feel as though Megadestroyer has become easier as well – his long cast fire aoe rain ability kept people on his toes, which is now gone. Every time I’ve encountered the fight, it always came down to the wire though, because of the sheer amount of health he and his vet minions have.

Agree. I don’t hope they make all events just to something that nobody does anymore just because of the crying of some people. Its already unfun enough that i now have constantly to use higher population guest server just for doing Jormag later at night.

IMHO the actual dragon champions should receive the tequatl treatment (shatterer, claw of jormag… is megadestroyer an actual dragon champion or just a stronger destroyer?), but with MUCH buffer rewards (more buffed than what tequatl is right now), and the other bosses should be harder but not THAT hard. I think the golem Mk II is a good yardstick for the difficulty of all the non dragon champion bosses.

I actually think they’ve ruined Tequatl. There is no feeling of achievement if you beat a big boss in a huge zerg especially one that relies so much on 6 people knowing what they’re doing in the turrets with enough good people protecting said turrets. No matter how you use your skills in the teq fight if you’re in the right place at the right time with the right people he can be done easily it’s not hard and for most in the zerg it’s just a case of doing as much damage as possible while he’s vulnerable. One of the best fights I had in the game was taking down Claw of Jormag with two friends. We had to be careful and the fight took a while, fortunately it was before the stupid timer was brought in, but it felt good to beat him with so few. Much better a fight like that than what we’ve got with Teq now. The best i’ve been able to do is get him to 51 or 52%. We weren’t doing anything wrong there just wasn’t enough of us to beat the stupid timer. I love challenging content but this is not that, We’d have taking him down if we’d had more time. The fight wasn’t exciting though it was just frustrating. If they must have a boss like this put him in an instance or make him a guild challenge and bring back the old Teq with just a few tweaks but do-able with a small party. I love GW2 and enjoy playing all 8 of my lvl 80 characters. However, if they do the same to the other bosses I will cut my losses and stop playing because the fun of taking down a tough boss with a few players will be gone. I have given up on Teq I haven’t got the time to hang around for ages hoping I get in a server with the right team to do a fight that is not fun. if nothing else bin the timers on the bosses and make failure purely to do with not being able to protect the cannon power generators, cannon itself or say 3 out of the 6 turrets. Also reduce the number of people required to between 15 and 30 with scaling upwards above that number. Leave the other bosses alone except Balthazar, the approach is really annoying and get rid of the exploding chickens introduced at Lyssa, you can’t dodge what you can’t see in a crowd.

Just look here :

Half of the servers have killed him only 1-5 times, and the numbers on Vabbi came just from guilds that used that server for guesting.

Yeah .. really time to ruin Jormag and Shatterer in the same way.

@DaveNic
Totally agree .. i also often liked to do Jormag late at night just with a few people .. the fun now is gone thanks to the stupid timers.

I think the Shaman at the Maw is broken honestly, he hasn’t spawned the whirlwinds or ice fields in like a week, all he does is the knockback now.

I’m curious, how is that data collected? My server (Sorrow’s Furnace) isn’t even listed, though I would be surprised if we had killed him even once. I think most people gave up and started guesting or joining other guilds less than a week in.

Yeah go ahead… make all of these Deserted events too… might as well.

Let’s get this over with and kill off Dynamic Events entirely so this incredibly neglected forum can just be taken down finally.

I hate having a lot of players during any of these events…It’s extremely frustrating how some of them barely do any damage but at the same time scale the event higher.

For example Maw…With only 6 players we killed it in less than 5 minutes. Another time, with 60 players it took us almost 10.

And Mark II is even more annoying. People don’t want to understand the extremely simple mechanic, and range on the boxes…instead of hitting both hit boxes of the boss, they simply throw little rocks at it. One time it took a zerg 13 minutes to kill it.

But at least Mark II is more dangerous. Maw, Wurm and Shadow are far from being dangerous.

So,

After last night random error message on tequatl with 2 minutes left yo kill him and him at 1% health and all turrets running, I failed because of Arena Net and this unstable event. And because to many people cried about getting rewarded for failing, I dont get rewards. Its not like I wanted Arena Net to boot me.

Clearly 1% health, it would have died.

No other mmo I have ever played doesnt solve the problem for borked mechanics, often, a gm would come and spawn the loot boxes, seeing it was their mistake.

This wasnt the first time this exact thing has happened to me, its the third time.

Fuethermore, I have 95% of the runs ran a turret and gotten no loot boxes.

Even this day, sometimes on a turret you dont get loot boxes.

I get kicked for being afk while moving my character around killing risen waiting for Tequatl.

Im sorry, I love the idea of Tequatl world boss event.

But with borked mechanics with afk booting falsely and hit or miss rewards for succeeding.

I would rather them actually revert back to old Tequatl.

Leave the hard stuff for dungeons that can be spam repeated on failure.

I truly hope Arena Net gets this message and reconsiders their position in this matter.

Because, the few people wanting it hard mode might leave, but I can almost promise that a much bigger percent will fall out to another game if they go the World Boss 2.0 on all world bosses. It would be a huge mistake.

The real problem is the raid folks arent being catered too. If you had raid dungeons, it would solve 75% of the conflict at hand.

I truly hope that you have truly more diversity in next weeks update. I know its to tackle support builds.

Also, most of the world boss enhancements basically smacks melee people in the face.

Melee people just arent welcome anymore in this game. Might as well give everyone 1200 range. And scrap melee weapons altogether.

Claw, for my server, isn’t a push-over. We come really close to failing. But others like Maw and especially SB are a piece of cake. Maw just got a health buff, but is so easy you can AFK autoattack, and still win. Some need buffs, but most are good.

Please remove the chain fear from Jorlag – it’s so annoying.

It’s not interesting, fun or challenging – just remove the chain fear.

i to do not like wasting my time with those world bosses and do not enjoy getting free rares, so i agree with this buff and think they should buff all world boss events so everybody knows to think like me.

to not waste their time with them.
