Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I did Tequatl on Vabbi with the TKS, 3 times. (just logged off before the last time where it worked >.<)

We get him down to <50% twice and <75% the first time, but I only got a Dragon Chest once.
I did Turrets, direct attacks and also defended the laser (and got gold for that event).
I lived most of the time (thanks to PTV) and did the best damage I could (Ranger with Piercing Shots and lots of AoE)

I really hope that is a bug, because spending 15 minutes on Tequatl doing the best I can and not getting any kind of reward sucks.
It already sucks if you don’t kill him, but thats ok, he’s harder now.
But I thought we’d get at least a reward for ever 25% we get him down.
And 1 Dragon Chest (which contained a green….) as a reward is ridiculous…

push, today we killed him still only one reward, not even a dragon chest…

The chests for getting him down to 75%, 50% and 25% appear to be daily.

And people are starting to find out. Here’s a conversation I overheard (paraphrased):

“Come on guys, let’s at least try and get him to 50% for an extra chest.”
“Why bother, I already got my 50% chest today.”

Even 100 chcest would not be enough as reward, becouse they contain mostly green and some karma. It is absolutely nothing.

don’t you think being rewarded for failure is kind of weird?

I dont talk about rewards for failure. I would not mind if they would reward us only for succes but the reward should be worth. Now it is not.

Success is boring. Failure teaches. If you succeed all the time you’ll never know how to do anything. You’ll only know what you did works. You won’t have learned anything. In failure, we learn what doesn’t work. Failing is the beginning of investigation. Investigation leads to understanding. It is from understanding what we’re doing that advancement and progress can be made. Failure should always be rewarded. Success is just… success. Yea, you did it. Have a cookie.

Being rewarded for failure is weird.

On the other hand, events that take an entire day’s worth of gaming to get a single, viable run (if at all!) after long waiting times and frustrating efforts to get into the place you want to be, with the people you want to be with… that’s weird too.
