Guild Wars 2

Like most a couple servers, I’m currently bashing my head against the wall with TTS trying to kill the wurms and earn the honor of world’s first kill. However the experience has reminded me of a problem with teq.

Rewards for these type of bosses feel like all or nothing even if the content itself is fun. This struck me when watching a fellow member’s stream when we finally decapitated 3 heads (and suddenly realized there’s a phase 2) and only receiving 7 greens a 3 champ bags despite all the effort require to get to that point.

If you win Teq, you get a shot at awesome ascended loot, 3 rares, a ton of karma, good amount of gold and quite a few other items that make the trouble of killing him worth it even if champ train farming might give you a little bit more gold.

However if you Fail teq, you get a couple greens and some karma…..

Wurm rewards sound similar especially with that weekly chest added on top of the winning pile.

If Anet really wants more players to try out this boss and attempt to climb they have to tweak these rewards to make the sting of defeat hurt less. At the very least adding some dragonite and a rare to a daily single wurm decap chest will encourage casual players to add one wurm to the world boss train at the very least. And maybe one day after practicing on all 3 wurms they’ll attempt to go for whatever is in that kill chest.

One could of course question why people should get rewards at all for failing.

These bosses should have some kind of token system in any case, I’ve been killing Teq since 1st kill every single day and never got a mini and only one ascended weapon (relatively lucky compared to some other people) That kind of RNG is needless and depressing for all that effort.

When wurm goes down one random person who gets the mini will sell it for 1500g and become rich. Anet must reward dedication for bosses like this.
