Don’t tell them that! They’ll all want to join in!

Seriously though that’s awesome. And although I’ve been (voluntarily) guesting to other serves to do this event I know you guys have been doing really well – consistently severing all 3 heads and coming really close to killing them all. (I know this because several of my guild members are there almost every time.)

I’m sure given time players will get a handle on this event and be able to beat it regularly.

It was amazing to once again get a kill. So many people, so many commanders, so many regulars, and even a number of new players. We all did so much and put so much into this fight that it’s so fulfilling to down that wurm once again.

I like to think that my declaration of giving no more speeches until we get a kill was a motivating factor to get us another kill. ;D

Congratulations on your second victory. I think most other servers just stopped trying. Let’s face it with only one server successfully completing this event after a week of release I’m quite sure Anet will downgrade its difficulty in the near future. Not that I’m asking for it to be. But I believe they overestimated the organizational capability of the general player base. Unless they are ok with 99.9% of the player base ignoring this event which I doubt. Those resources could have been allocated into something that might have benefitted the player base as a hole. With just 0.001 percent of the player base capable of completing this event I doubt they will be wasting any more resources on developing content of similar difficulty.

Simple answer wurm slayer kills (achievements) don’t register for some people even if they dps’ed the head and attended the event/fight at that area from the beginning

The “Wurmslayer” achievement under the “Triple Trouble” category. After we killed the Wurm most of us who were at the kill are still at 0/3 for this achievement despite killing our respective Wurm head.

By the way I have the title. But interestingly I remember getting the Crimson head wurmslayer achievement when I was downed at the beginning of the 2nd phase (died and barely was able to run back to it) So I doubt the damage done is the determining factor.

Dear Arenanet developers responsible for this content.

I would like to give you a MASSIVE thank you for what you produced with this update. It has been quite life-affirming for me and here is why.

I have made so many friends (d’aww) doing this content and I have not been logging in every day so much to kill the wurm but rather to join the Teamspeak and hang out with the guys and gals. You didn’t just create a content update here, you actually created a real sense of Community. I know for other servers and guilds it has been having the same effect. It has been bringing players together like never before in order to achieve a singular goal: KILL THE WURM! Even the Desolation server community at large cheers us on and roots for us on the forums and elsewhere. They love that they are part of the same group that is achieving these amazing things. Heck, even other EU servers – our bitter enemies in WvW – cheer for us can see themselves as being part of the harrowing struggle for eternal glory against our worthy foes across the pond!

However, I think its been slightly divisive among the greater community too as many feel it is too ‘hardcore’ and you guys are catering too much to the ‘hardcore’ crowd. This is likely due to the time-commitment involved in being in the right place at the right time and getting in with the right crowds to be part of something really special. Most players are saddened because they feel the content is ultimately inaccessible to them as much as they would really love to be a part of it.

I’d love to make a few suggestions here that may help with the problem.

Underflows: Merge low-population servers together. Will Vabbi-FissureOfWoe kill the wurm today?! Who knows! But they certainly have the player count to do it!

Increase the amount of people willing to put in the effort. Do this by helping those people who ARE organizing these events do it better and more efficiently. Make it fun! Make them ‘feel’ like a commander of an army. More willing commanders means more players to follow them. Expand commander tag functionality.
– Different coloured Taco’s
– Little comments written by said Commander when the tag is moused-over such as a basic information or a Teamspeak URL! (Open to abuse i know)
– Expanded /playercount functionality. User definable range i.e visible and adjustable AoE field to catch just the players the commander wants to count. Count classes individually. 5 Mesmers, 3 guardians, 200 warriors etc etc
– Absolute 0 suppression in /map for commanders. People generally don’t buy a 100g Taco to spam/troll mapchat unless really dedicated. Consistent abusers of the functionality (many player reports for example) can get lengthy gags. At least be more lenient than the current system. I can barely hammer our 2-3 sentences before I start hitting the suppression cap.
- Links in chat. At least to the wiki =/ A commanders #1 job should be to teach first, organise later. You guys need to somehow help facilitate this.
- Player controlled vote-kick system. Afkers dont contribute. 10-20 players vote-to-kick-to-Lions Arch a player and the current AFK timer is brought forward instantly until the player makes an action. I.e they get 1 minute to do something. The vote-kick would fail if the player was active within the last, say, 10 minutes. (Generous in my opinion) I could get my friends to abuse this for free ports to Lions Arch without having to go through WvW or sPvP lobby.
- Make using the squad system for commanders and players alike easy and intuitive. You could make it almost automatic. If a player is near a specific commander, they could auto-squadjoin to that commander. Or maybe just a little unobtrusive UI element like the current ‘Party Request’ pops up that a player can ignore or accept. (Automatically sent by the game and not the commander) Having an exact playercount of how many players are with him/her is extraordinarily useful for a commander and is half the battle when setting up groups.

This content’s difficulty is probably just a teeny bit too far for the moment. I wonder how the 10s Invulernability bug fix will improve things. I am of the opinion that it still wont be enough to have a greater portion of the community enjoy this fantastic content. More people should be able to experience that feeling of accomplishment after days and days of trial and error. They shouldn’t feel like they were fighting queues and back-end game systems more than they were fighting the boss.

Rewards need buffed.

tl’dr: Content amazing. I cried in frustration. Built amazing communities. I cried in joy. The 9th class needs a buff (Commanders)

I was thinking about afk check too. Give commanders an ability to make an afk check (like you’ll get notification in the middle of the screen and have 5 – 10 minutes to click on it, otherwise you’re getting kicked out to OF). Or before these huge events check afkers, give them notification and kick them to overflow.

Of course that wouldn’t matter if the event scalling was working perfectly. But I’m pretty sure it’s not easy to make events scale properly, so no rush here.

The original post there was certainly a joke, LOL.

As one of the regulars, commanders, and sole American to get the kills (oh man, did I mention speeches?) I have to say that we loved the competition.

All jokes aside (including my ego, that thing is insane) we thrive on that rush to get the first kill. To have the most kills. We’ve fought so long and so hard to try and perfect this fight, to uncover the truth, and myself and about 30+ others are constantly theorycrafting after every single encounter about what we can improve on and what can be done differently.

We want this kill. 10 second bug at the start aside, we are going for kills. Forget making excuses. Killing the wurm, just like Teq back in the day, is our main priority.

So please, no one take what someone may say too severely. We enjoy the competition and it really does make each group better. Not to mention, we share tactics from all these servers and groups and try to continue to get better.

So while the original post of this was a joke, those posting know that we enjoy the competition. We thrive on it. Keep it coming, TTS, BG, and FSP, as we can’t improve if we don’t have someone right on our heels. :P

+ 1 to mkoll – unlike instanced content (where you can choose your allies, usually a guild) the success of these open world “raids” relies on commanders and leaders that will teach and lead pugs/strangers. So anything that can be done to help commanders do that helps the game. Stuff like different colour tags, and map chat for commanders would go a long way.

Another suggestion – commander tags could be gained with guild commendation tokens , not gold. This ensures the commander had been participating/leading in groups events rather than solo gold farming.

Guesting to win an event? No thank you, This is lame. The events should be doable in every server not only in specialized servers. Great idea, bad design and worse implementation.
