Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone who hasn’t beaten teq yet and is willing to follow instructions! Having beaten teq 7 times and counting I am going to give you the teq beating strategy.

1. guest over to blackgate, deso or other servers who beat teq regularly.
2. zone into sparkfly overflow.
3. ask map what the ts information is or wait for it to be spammed.
4. log into TS, move to teq channel. Go to the chat text box and ask for a main map invite.
5. side note, for the loners, shy people and rebels – you don’t ever have to speak on TS.
6. Once in a main map party zone in from maelstrom/bloodtide repeatedly until you get in. Now, this part may take a minute or it might take hours. The trick is be on TS and listen to the chat, once the event ends you will get in if you are not afk and you are actively zoning in and out. Results may vary but all my off server guildies generally get in within an hour. Be patient.
7. Once you’re in listen to commanders and do what you’re told when you’re told to do it to the best of your ability.
8. Beat teq (one hopes).

There may be other ways to beat teq, but they don’t work as well as the above method. If you’re more concerned with kittening about how Anet did the event or with doing things your own way…this method is not for you.

IOW, manipulate game mechanics and you might get lucky.

HARDCORE!

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from Rata Sum. It’s the only way to be sure.

….that’s what I meant, Science. If you’re not going to mindlessly obey, then…please wander off, this threads not for you.

yes, yes, desolation definitively needs more guesters and overflows. gtfo.

You think that sucks? Try being an organizer.

GW2…Guild Leadership: The Game

“obedient” not a good choice of wording there, yes you must be “obedient” and obey, remind me this is a game that should be fun ?

You’re pretty much listing everything that is wrong with this open world event…

Obedient is the exact word i’m looking for. This event is war, war needs a commander, you obey your commander. Fun comes when you obey commander and you beat teq along with 150 or so well organized and obedient people and you get your title and your cheevs. that’s fun or i wouldn’t have done teq 7 times now. Teq is hella fun for the obedient

ill pass thanks i rather have fun

I hope Anet reads this and realizes this list is exactly what’s wrong with the event.

There’s an alternative. Join a guild whose only specific purpose is to down this boss (and potential future ones). Listen to the guild chat or read the guild message of the day to see when attempts are being made. I’ve missed one reset kill so far(only due to the fact that I wasn’t online for a day). Never once have I been on TS. I’ve done both turret defense and been part of the dps group. Last night the guild had two kills at the same time on 2 different overflows, the attempt I was in at least one turret was empty a good portion of the entire fight. I guess you can argue that maybe this isn’t how you should “have” to do it but then maybe it’s time to look outside one’s comfort zone and use what you have at your disposal to get the enjoyment out of this event. Just my 2 cents….. Plus one added bonus has been the ability to talk to both old server mates and WvW foes directly. At least for me this event has connected me more with the whole GW2 community then it has turned me from it.

Not sure if

We needed to be “Obedient” to beat DOA also.

…which I did dozens of times… B/c we had a proper pre-existing FRAMEWORK for it.

Being obedient for this …. means letting Anet off the hook for creating that which they could not possibly support the logistics of themselves. For a metaphor: They basically dropped the bus from “Speed” into the HokeyPokey circle at an elementary school gym.
