Guild Wars 2

I do not like these world bosses being anets “answer to the raid”. A raid in my humble opinion should be a large pre and post meditated, effort to take down content that is not beatable by the equivalent amount of players who have little to no information about the fight. To put it more simply your group has to be greater than the sum of your numbers.

With that said this is the direction anet has decided to go so my question is how do we accomplish this given the intrinsic flaws with how they choose to deliver their “answer”?

The problems that I see with this are the following.

Pre Meditation
A. The typical vehicle for content such as this are guilds. The typical guild isn’t large enough to complete this content. So how are we supposed to organize if at arrival we have no idea who we are working with?

Execution
The average player is going to lag throughout these things because they are so large. If you are assigned the task of putting down a shield before a big attack comes you are going to have some difficulty due to lag.

Post Meditation
C. It could be accomplished by failing, then learning and reorganize your efforts. But how when there it is likely the team composition will be entirely different by the time of the next encounter?

Now lets discuss. I want this to succeed in a big way and would like your opinions on how to organize in whatever depth you’d like.

Tequatl

• Watch the Pax preview video on youtube. Even though the group failed, you can learn the individual tasks needed to battle Tequatl successfully.
• For individual players, focus less on precision/crit/condi dmg and more on power/survival/team support builds.
• Arrive at the event before it starts, and form up in parties/squads that will each complete specific tasks, such as guarding the turrets or rushing the dragon.
• Use voice comms (which many servers use for WvW) if available.
