Guild Wars 2

maybe now that anet has chased all of DR out of wvw with the bloodlust BS, we can get 30 or so people together to get Teq down to 90%. Ya for the updates ever!

If it can be done why ask for nerfs?
If it gets nerfed ppl won’t learn to play better and remain bad.
A suggestion from me would be to kick whoever afks for more than 2 mins while the event is active.

You cant kick anyone from the map. If he is there, he is there to stay. AFK or not. When you are in a guild or other group, you can filter your squad to perform better. In world events you cant. You are only as good as the bulk of your zerg can be. So whats the next recipe for sucessful PvE? All zerg transfer to Blackgate (and probably ruining it in the process)?

Here’s a video of the latest Blackgate attempt if anyone is interested. Music was added out of respect for people in public teamspeak.

Or do what I’m doing. Guest on Black gate, stay in Sparkfly and wait for travel

How does that work everyone stands in 1 area turrets buff them use 2 and 1 when everything else is down?

when people are down, the standing ones try to rezz them as quick as possible while the turrets keep cleansing.

Correct. That’s the strategy most servers are using to get below 70% health on him.

Finally my heal toughness guardian was useful. Keeping SY, Hallowed ground And SYG seemed to help a lot with waves.
Very organized runs, which are amazing for a pve meta.
Lets hope we can still be first and get him on the next spawn. Gogo BG

Although i like the challenge of this content, im not sure every server can be organized enough for it. Atleast not yet i guess

I’m sure its possible to do a script that checks if player is in range of the group event and if he’s not active for the past 2 mins then get him to character selection screen so someone else can enter the main area.

Use the turretttttsssss!

That’s not appropriate for open world content. Just instance the encounter then.

i can see the failure of this event in the low population server

i would rage hardcore if i were at the bg event and u got him down to 1% and then failed ._.

i believe once bg/any other sever gets teq beat once, they’re going to realize that the rewards arent worth it and the leets are gonna leave it to pugs and it wont happen again

regardless, could we get some advice from someone about the proper strategies for utilizing turrets/ the lazer, as well as protecting them?

also, in the 1% screenshot, did you see how many icebows/fiery greatswords were on the ground? possibly a hint…

unless we are handed the mini, and ascended item and 500 gold.. this event was not worth it :P

Good job blackgate! Great to see people organizing well!

Hopefully we’ll see guilds and such stepping up to help organize the masses of our other servers!

While it’s nice to have a video of how close you guys are, you might want to either remove the video or remove the link to it as it has you specifically typing in language which is prohibited both in public map channels and on the forums into map chat.

What about a script which detects who is not adjusting to the tactic and doing something wrong? In group instanced environment you can see who is standing in fire and not take him to subsequent attempts. In GW2 world bosses best thing you can do is rage on map chat. And with amount of people involved at Tequilla, you will more often than not not even see who is doing something wrong. The boss itself is fine. It’s reliance on random zerglings is not.

I am playing MMO-s way to long to understand what is the general quality of players. Lets assume I am good at the game or at least I think I am. If there is a challenging content to deal with, I can perhaps apply to a guild which does it and if I am good enough, I may have a shot at passing their trial and being accepted into the group. Now lets even assume I am the best GW2 player ever. What is my bet on doing Tequall other than being on the right server at the right day at the right hour? All I can do otherwise is rage on map chat trying to educate people and half of them wont listen anyway.

Yep, They do much more damage with, Especially stacked with the undead potions. Once you have a crap load of ppl with them+turret and aoe buffs from players it goes a bit faster. The worst part is still the initial push to 75%

That initial push last time was hindered by so many ppl being caught afk. If everyone had been there ready to go we’d have killed him.

This times a thousand. Allthough I don’t rage on map chat because I realise how futile it is. Not that many people still trying it on my server anyway. Last attempt was with about 20 people and it didn’t feel like it was downscaled all that much.

Gratz to Blackgate, you guys are going to kill it to next try.

I hope he won’t get nerfed or instancied to please the whining people that can’t juste get organized… We really need that kind of epic PvE challenge !

Can’t wait to see the horrible reward that makes you want to punch a puppy for all the time spent for 3 greens and a rare.

We got to almost 80% in an overflow. 90-85% most of the time.

Reslinal.2359:

Main force stack together while the guys on turrets focus on cleansing and giving the main force quickness. The first part is the long one, then it goes a lot quicker. We have 100 people in TS now as well:)

As with all pve questions, the answer is stacking . :\

Any news from blackgate?

Just tried on BP. We got to 90% with a very very unorganized group that would not listen. I should have screen capped it, but it was pretty much just a sea of dead afk bodies.

wtb: new server

I heard in game in Blackgate that it was killed, but i wasnt there to witness so who knows.

BEAST GATEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and down!

yes! finally

BEAST GATE DOWNED TACO!

BEASTGATE DOWNED HIM aww yea

Sounds like BG got ’er done… waiting for screen shots. In in LA at BG right now.

Expect a gigantic amount of server transfers to Blackgate. Gj

bwuki.2175:

BEAST GATEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What was in the chest!

Whoa congrats!
And with all the achievements related to Teq’s defeat, too!

Ewon.5903:

wtb: new server

It happened in WvW and now it’s happening in PvE. Hopefully the situation gets better as the content is out longer, currently it feels like you’re kitten for being on the wrong server.

WOOT! AND NOW WE ALL JOIN TOGETHER AND CHANT! WE KILLED TEQUATL! WOOT!

Please upload video

Well done Black gate

Well since BG did it… it should be possible for all servers/overflows….

Wow BG! Grats!!!

1s 61c. Lol. What was a loot?

Time to server transfer.

I can’t believe how much history I missed on my home server just now because of a game update, an overflow system and a guest system working together to make my position on the map impossible.

2 minutes left on clock when we downed it too lol

Congratulations Blackgate! Please share the secrets of your people!

Well done, BG! Congrats!

And now there will be an influx of players trying on a few servers (like Blackgate) while noone bothers attempting Tequatl on all others.

Yep, Anet just killed PvE on smaller servers entirely with this raid.
