After our second kill I took screenies to demonstrate the difference between Wurm and Tequatl Loot. I think the picture is self explanatory. Basic differences:
1. 2 champ bags vs 4 champ bags
2. No karma pots from wurm.
3. A lot less items from wurm “physical” chest
4. 20 item pool vs nearly 50 item pool
5. 3 rare items from both (or one mini or ascended chest if you’re lucky)

(NOTE: On the left picture the dragonite ore have stacked with my existing ore so sorry about that. Apart from that, this IS the ENTIRE loot pool you get from wurm! Thank you)

That’s some amazing loot you got there. I think it might be a little too much for the effort involved, other parts of the game might suffer if everyone is doing wurm.
I’m O.K. with this trade off. Teq may be better to farm for profit, but Wurm gives you the prestige items. Therefore giving both world bosses a unique purpose and keeping both active.

Uhmm. you didn’t take a shot of your whole loot. Just the side bar showing what popped. That stacks though so what you’re showing isn’t everything.
Kinda disappointing though. If there was a guaranteed Ascended for the Wurm, now that would be awesome. With the difficulty..it’s not like that is a bad thing. 300 players max have beaten this thing now….

2 kills 300 people total.. 2 armor chests you mentioned and 2 minis… would you like to do a probability assessment of how one is going to collect all 3 of these prestige items?
Yes we didn’t do it for the rewards but at the end of the day there should be a token system for these bosses period. All the effort that went into the kills and we don’t even have a souvenir to show for it.

You get the 2 chests that you see on right side, when you open them (and 2 champ boxes that drop inside) the end result is a 20 item pool. Not one more, not one less.

Bad balancing :/
I think if in 2 week we cant do Wurm like we do Tequatl that need some fix. (I say that cause maybe with debug and some pratice that become easiest… We will see.)
I hardly participe for first try tequatl in my own server sometime at cmd ( 4 or 5day for down him if i remember right) and the next 3week + many many many time, and never got something particular, i know it can be frustrating xD
But yes, isnt the goal. At start…
Some cmd suggest a token system in fr forum but never get any answer… Some of us do Tequatl 4 or 5 time per day the 2 first week for “teach the pug” or “help other fr server”, and at the last new we dont loot anything from him >.<
But GJ.
I hope i can down that event too soon but i’m not verry involved for now, lets hope some fix soon :P
Anyways, I’m going to kill the worm at least 3 times to get all the “head killed” achievments.
After that I guess I’ll stay with Tequatl. The “Keg-Achievment” is stupid anyways
I don’t know what you guys are expecting. 5 guaranteed rares? 2 guaranteed exotics? You start handing these out and they lose value, leaving you no better off than before.
What Anet should have done was introduce a token system for bosses like Teq/Wurm, where each completion will give you tokens that can be exchanged for unique, highly desirable rewards. This encourages subsequent completion of these bosses.
i.e. Each wurm head decapitated gives 10 tokens, while successful completion of wurm event gives an extra 50 (so maximum of 80).
A token vendor will have the following:
-Wurm-themed exotic weapons – 300 tokens each
-Wurm minipet – 250 tokens
-Wurm-themed exotic armors – 240 – 400 tokens each
-Special runes – 100 tokens
e.t.c.

and 5 tokens per wurm head decapitated and 10 for killing all heads. Acended and skins are not exotic weapons and armor. World bosses should be treated like dungeons. easier to get = less exclusive and u probably wouldn’t want them. Better question is why are all skins helm sholders and gloves. Why is there no armor skins >.>. Why doesn’t teq have armor skin >.<
All due respect but this is needed badly. I did Teq more than 200 times now perhaps on different characters and never once did I get a mini and only once an ascended chest. And I am one of the luckier ones.
A supplementary system based on tokens is being respectful of people who put a lot of time into these encounters. Anet is late as it is to implement this IMHO.

Better yet. We make the bosses like heart events. When you finally fill the heart you can just buy the stuff with karma. The devs remember karma right? The supposed universal currency that allowed players to play the way they want yet still get rewards?
Knowing ArenaNet though it would be 50 laurels, 250 ectos, and 2 million karma for a single ascended item. Want the minipet? Quadruple all that.

From the looks of it, you didn’t include the world boss chest that spawns after wurm dies. That chest definitely counts towards wurm loot. When the wurm dies, you need to take the portal that appears. It takes you to his chest by the Firthside Vigil Waypoint. That chest guarentees 50~ dragonite ore & 3~ rares/exotics among other things. I see no dragonite ore in your SS. That’s how I know.
Furthermore; we’re talking about a Tequatl mini worth about 30g versus a mini cobalt wurm head worth about 800g. So yeah. I’d say the rewards are all right. The main problem is the lack of a working & fair queue system that people can’t abuse by “ferrying” & the many bugs that plague wurm right now including but not limited to map glitching, wurm scaling, and a 10 second invulnerability on phase 2.

If you take a look at the picture you’ll see I am there having looted the chest that appears after you kill the wurm. I’ve killed it 2x now so I know. The dragonite etc have just stacked with the ones below.
And it is kinda interesting you think there is no discrepancy here between the two loot pools.

There is 164 dragonite ore in the bottom left. It could have went there.

Then you’re intentionally misrepresenting the loot that you get from the Wurm by not including the dragonite ore in your “highlighted” loot section in wurm SS but including it in your Tequatl SS. Furthermore, you neglect relative values of the things that come from each boss as well as their drop rate. From the look of things, it seems the wurm mini is 10x more likely to drop than the Tequatl mini as well as being 33x more valuable. As for ascended equipment, it seems those are also drastically more likely to drop from Wurm as well since every run seems to have at least 1 person getting them.
Is it perfect? No. Would a token system be better? Yes. Was it still worth it even though I only got 3 rares & like 20 greens? Totally.

yes, that not all drop, but … me interesting drop from BIG chest. im kill 2 kimes , and 2 times only 5×2 green item … mini and new ascended armor skin do not drop from Gold Box+DailyWurmKill Box. many who killed the worm, sat for 12 hours in the game during the week before they succeeded. Personally, I was 3 days before the first murder 16 hours before he was killed. but not even earned a simple exotic for it. ArenaNet could do to increase the ranking drop for the first murder. You remember what was the drop from Karka when it entered? people to link to the chat pile exotic , and more ppl give Precursor.

It’s a player choice for waiting that long. You don’t deserve anything special because you waited.

Anet needs to find a balance between making the items themselves rare enough to be valuable and yet still reward the players for their time and work.
It is pretty apparent(from most people that play) that the rewards in GW2 are lackluster and essentially boring.
While I agree that the Karka chest was a reward that was worth the time and effort, it was also a one time event and as such made the reward viable.
The token system is a good idea but, my feeling is that Wurms will eventually be like Tequatl and done daily. Be prepared to see the minis and items available to drop in price as people get better at doing the event.
I do feel bad for people that received greens only from the kill, I mean that is pretty bad. Perhaps a guaranteed rare or two would make the event i bit more rewarding.

I think he is referencing difficulty. that Wurm is much harder and there for should have more rewards. But with next path there is a garneted nerf on him so we really should wait and see how the difficulty changes before complaining about how current reward is worth it or not. 10sec or more will be added to phase 2

Yes, the wurm is much harder but the exclusivity of both events are widely different, hence the disparity in rewards.
Furthermore, while the wurm is difficult, I don’t think it’s as incredibly difficult that we need to be showering players with exotics. There is a long learning curve, but once you surpass that the fight becomes easy. I remember when Teq was notoriously difficult. But now we have servers finishing teq with 8-10 minutes to spare, and Teq right now is easy like clockwork for servers that are experienced in it.
The wurm, after all, is bugged right now and sometimes you have to get lucky to get past the scaling issues in the 1st phase.
you make 10g a day based on dps bosses down left and right. Wurm takes 3 days to kill. So basic math says we should get 30g from a wurm kill. if you really want to be fare and balanced. This is a simple pay me for my time fact and has nothing to do with the difficulty.
what is a 2g exotic in sight of that
If rewards where better more would do it and it would become less exclusive.
