Guild Wars 2

DESO DID IT AGAIN!

We’re getting wurm to farmable phase. xd

We don’t need no bug fixes.

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.

Oh boy that was really fun!

Great job everyone! Special thanks to Mkkoll for amazing organisation job! ^^

btw… When I joined in portal with arrow I didnt get a big chest, I did it too late or what?

Go ambar! wurmhead achievement bugged, killed 2 different ones now, no achieve , please fix anet. Loot sucked :p

loot-wise how does it look?

Kinda crap. You get 3 rares from daily chest and some blues and greens. Tequatl actually gives more loot when you kill it.

Least i was there for second one…gj all!

Glad to be there for the 2nd kill too.
Thanks for the commanders.

Loot wise:
1 rare
3 greens

+ daily chest (3 gold)

Thanks to all that came and finally helped me get my kill! Special thanks to Cobolt Condition team-lead Liah for keeping his Condi-party in check

FSP, Desolation is coming for you…

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.

thanks to everyone that was in my Cobalt stack for this one! and for the past week :P

Mouse ^^

Oops thought it was marionette

Me thinks EU server Wurms have less HP. /kidding

Congrats on the kill again. TTS is still battling bugs. At least we have a Dev that runs with us, so we don’t have to report anything.

we pretty much got this on farm status

I wouldn’t say that being on both kills, considering the number of tries we have to go through. And we have a tons of new people incoming everyday… We will get there though after the 10 second bug is fixed next tuesday esp.

was there as well gj guys. this time the 2min timer worked for the heads. was at amber now for 2 days. head killed —> no achievement progress…please fix. would have had title

In his current state, this event will never be on farm status.

Congrats Desolation! Sheesh, the wurms in their current state just seems to be too much for other servers >.>

’Twas a joke

Taisia, can you post a link to the recorded stream so we can study it?

I love you ShoeGuy

That was an awesome and epic fight we had there!

Thank you everyone for the great and successfull (again) event!

Here is something for you :P

Boo! Missed the kill again :’(

Gratz to all who were there though! And a hearty well done to all those who couldn’t make it; it really has been a server wide effort with everyone trying to help all the newcomers learn the tactics etc….

Hey guys. I was wondering if you could provide a little more information here. What achievement didn’t progress for you? What achievement were you expecting to complete? What were you doing to get progress? This will help us investigate.

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.

I had amber wurmhead killed before completion and it was 1/3.
This time I was at crimson and after Triple Trouble event was completed, it still was 1/3 even though people claiming they got 3/3 out of one completion.

Amber wurmhead did not count for me as well. Had 0/3 before, we smashed the head but still 0/3.

I can confirm that plenty of people didnt get the achievement after killing the Amber wurm, me personaly I didnt get achievement even after killing the amber head twice

Ohh. so you are blaming it on bugs now. LoL Deso has done it twice now without any blaming failures on bugs. I thought you guys were the ’elite" of all “hardcore” ’elite" players. No excuses then. LoL

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.

We have a Dev that runs it with us nightly. Everything he sees, he reports to Crystal, thus the work on the bug fix behind the scenes. Mind you that the bugs don’t happen all the time. We joke with him that we’re Beta testing the Wurm.

Mkkoll +1

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.

Twice in one entire week.

Also, don’t put words in anyone’s mouth. No one in TTS has claimed that we’re the elite, hardcore or better than other players.

Don’t get worked up about this really, we love that we are competing against TTS, BG, FSP and others.. That’s what makes it fun I guess some people like to pick a fight for no reason.

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

Right. I guess I should stop assuming things so quickly.
Had a somewhat tiresome day, I apologize if I acted rash.

Really want to see someone get the rifle.

+ 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.
