Guild Wars 2

First off, hats off to Anet. They continue to work at producing content which is fun to play, but people always seem unhappy about everything; they talk and act like Anet’s employees aren’t people who work hard and have feelings. If you feel that strongly, don’t play! Helpful suggestions, sure. But I don’t understand the hate. So, thanks Anet

Is this the first raid-like content gw2 has seen? They’ve had world bosses, but this particular change has required intense teamwork from the players (and many players) Instead of casual zerging, messing up can wipe the event.

I used to be a WoW raider, so I have enjoyed the style of gw2 and gotten more casual about things. But this reminds me of raids without overdoing it, and i love it. Will there be more of this? Or is raid-like structured content (such as in WoW) unavailable due to the lack of the holy trinity?

thanks

It really needs to be instanced and people need to be allowed to form raid groups. This will only be doable if people can be relied on not to fail, and you can’t really rely on randoms not to fail.

No. You don’t do raids with AFKers, Trolls, Noobs and unknown badies.

If it’s not balanced out to becoming a more easily successful event, it will become forgotten much like the Karka Queen. At this rate, it is on it’s way which is disappointing.

don’t forget elitist kittens who think there better than they actually are, and yell at other people in map chat trying to hide the fact that they are also “bad”

If they dont nerf it, and I hope they dont, things will balance out in a few days. The first rush is over, the “badies” as you call them will move on to other things and your elite group of players can show what they are made of without overflow issues.

Karka queen is a decent example because the event can be done, if you have a group that wants to cooperate to do her. Killed her twice in the last 4 days, and if someone didnt know: since they changed champ loot you a total of 4 exotic adventurer backpacks in addition to the 2 rares and misc stuff. That#s nothing for the effort compared to the lol-champ-train of course.

Tequatl on the other hand has a list of achievements, unique skins, a mini, a title, ascended loot… pretty much everything people view as “worth attaining” in this game. People will organize and do him, just maybe not every 3 hours on the minute because he rolls over without a fight. And that’s fine with me.

This. Many of us saw this problem coming before release and people argued it wouldn’t be an issue. Oh, how optimistic people were!

this particular event takes more than 8 people foregoing their shot at epic farming to get the task done though… probably a large reason why the mobs dont drop a whole lot. Balth, Karka Queen and all the rest only need a very few paying attention, this needs at least 20 people who will follow a somewhat strict plan (and for the random others NOT to clog important mechanics like turrets). The overflow situation doesnt help anything because it enforces that nobody has any level of pre-set communication. It will just need to be done a few times by whoever is hogging all the server’s home instances and a general strat will probably set in along the way enough for the average crew of pugs, trolls etc to pull it off more often than not. my two cents on the matter…as to that plan, it’s limited, but thoughts appreciated…

Just ignore tequatle and do the infamous mega destroyer event. He gives a chest now.
