Guild Wars 2

Welcome to the Tequatl Server Support Group! We’re like AA, but for Teq!

Don’t give up! This is a shout out to all of us who are unable to beat Tequatl. Henge of Denravi (in my nightlies) has not been able get him past 80. At all. We usually have 20-30, though tonight we had up to (what seemed) like 100! Still, lack of respawning, no AOE, turrets not helping the zerg. Even when we were at our peak, we still were being overrun.

It’s tough.

Anyways, if your server needs help, add it in here. We can do this gals and guys, but let’s be honest with each other and say we need help.

Here’s the list:

Henge of Denravi (NA)
Drakkar-lake (EU)
Borlis Pass (NA)
Ring of Fire (EU)
Gate of Madness (NA)
Ring of Fire (EU)
Seafarer’s Rest (EU)
Gunnar’s Hold (EU)
Ruins of Surmia (EU)
Northern Shiverpeaks (NA)
Sorrow’s Furnace (NA)
Sea of Sorrows (NA)
Kaineng (NA)
Isle of Janthir (NA)

Random idea: if the server downs him everyone on the server should get the achievement.

Kaineng Q_Q

/15filthycharrs

Kaineng please.. My cousin and uncle are from kaineng and they really want to beat tequatl.. I hope my server (Blackgate) comes and help them

Drakkar See is dreadful. We can barely beat The Shatterer at peak hours since the update. Just failed on Shatterer. We had one banner…. of discipline… probably a hopeless case tbh. I would have transferred months ago if it was free (due to difficulty in finding a guild) but, well, that’s why it isn’t free.

(Now I’m starting to understand why it seems like people on this forum are so worked up and over-excited all the time. They are using completely normal words that get bleeped out! Edited to remove a “bad” word so I don’t look like I’m really upset about this.)

Sorrows Furnace could use alot of help. Seems like most people gave up or they are guesting.

Sea of Sorrows..

Is NSP still having a ton of trouble too?

That one really surprises me b/c they seem to have their stuff together when it comes to Temples. They kept completing Grenth & Balth with a smaller than normal force even when many other larger servers thought it had become impossible.

…I don’t understand it. (Then again I can’t seem to ever get in to SEE why they’re still failing it?) …I’m guessing it’s b/c all the Living Story pubbers are still crowding out all the more serious PvE players…

I’m from SF and I must say that we are getting there! We had 80 off people last night and almost had most guys on Mumble. Got Teq to 75% then failed the defence phase. But we’re getting there! Don’t give up!

We had a full map last night. We had to add a lot of folks to teams so they could get into the map because they were stuck in overflow. And it was mostly randoms and smaller guilds too. Good stuff!

Slowly but surely, the community is coming together and learning to work togther. We’ll get him for sures.

Ruins of Surmia. Got some decent organisation going, but then trolls on the turrets messed up big time.

On Gunnar’s Hold we had few decent tries, but we lack in dps. Getting to 75% could take 2 mins less as well. After first defending phase at 75%, it takes too long to get back to boss, people somehow overlook 20 caps locked messages in chat saying “leave at 20 sec left.” Also they don’t see potential of some support skills, if you are looking for time wrap order or something like that on Gunnar’s you are in wrong place

With little help, we would be fine. Also turret men are sometimes sleepy or don’t do their job very well.

yes NSP has not cleared teq yet to my knowledge. and temples are rly easy and dont require much coordination once u know mob spawns

The best I’ve seen Ring of Fire manage is around 78-79% and, as far as I am aware, we have never gotten to the second phase. Mostly because of the common reasons (AFK-ers, dead people not respawning, lack of co-ordination despite best efforts, etc).

Seafarer’s Rest beat him once and then never again.

If your struggling then I’d try and contact Black Gate, Crystal Desert, or Desolution (if EU server) based guilds. Many of them will jump at the chance to get into a server were all of them fit in and all servers are have repeatedly beaten him at peak time. Not sure what else I can recommend other than guesting.

Gate of Madness could use help. From what i’ve seen we rarely get past 75%(

I just joined a Teq killing guild (might be the best way individually to make sure you kill him), will message the leader to suggest fighting on the lower server maps to lend a hand to those people. I will keep an eye on this thread.

good luck out there.

Sea of Sorrows in a sad sad state when it comes to Teq. I’m also never on in peak hours… Literally have no idea when they are in my timezone, but from what I have seen it’s been terrible.

I tried him for the 3rd time or so yesterday on Ring of Fire and we got him to 76-78%, he was literally about to change phases but that’s the best attempt I have seen. The other 2 were horrible 90%-95% attempts. I’ve also done him on overflow a few times with similar results.

Borlis Pass could use some help, from my experience the most we have gotten him down to is about 90-95%. But then again I’m usually not on there during peak hours so if we’re lucky there is about 20-30 people there at most.

+1 for Drakkar-lake, even with all organisation, commanders and full map we couldnt even bring tequatl down to 50%, without commanders (so – almost evertime) we hanging around his 90%…

Updated Check out the list above!

Devona’s Rest. We had three relatively organized commanders on yesterday, one on each turret and one in the zerg and we just couldn’t. Didn’t have a full map, though, of course.

Ring of Fire, i’ve tried 5 or 6 times and it was ultimate fail

BP, SoS, and GoM are NA servers, and you listed SoS twice. Just saying. :P

BP hasn’t slayed Tequatl yet because I don’t think we’ve had a single organized attempt to defeat him. All of our tries have been with random people on the map with no TS, prior preparation, or anything of the sort.

GoM actually took him down last night—I was stuck on overflow (my eternal condition). We tried on 2nd attempt and we got to 2nd laser phase.

We had some great commanders show up and many on TS BUT not enough DPS the second time

What about Overflow? Why is it not listed among the servers? Who cares what server needs help, if I cannot get into my home servers map…?

NSP hit about 40% remaining late last night.

This is the reason why I say most gave up. We used to be able to get him down to 50%(back on Wednesday/Thursday) but now we are doin worse because people who were interested back then have stopped showing up. So yes SF needs help. Just because one or two hours of the event at night have overflow doesn’t excuse the event been dead for most of the day.

People have not given up. A lot of those who participated in the Wednesday and Thursday attempt are avid WvWers and have been in WvW non-stop since Friday’s reset (we have a very tough week in WvW this week). They’re still interested and invested, but have been preoccupied.

Most people I’ve chatted with in mumble who are heavily invested (including guild leaders and commanders) seem content with where we’re at and are fine with puzzling it out for ourselves at our own pace. This content isn’t meant to be done all day every day. And doing it non-stop all day will burn people out, and we certainly don’t want that to happen.

Not to mention we had some BG visitors earlier in the day who dropped by to help and reportedly, a lot of SFers weren’t terribly keen on them being there and gave them pushback in /map. Not exactly a proud moment for SF. Even if the help is not welcomed and someone disagree with them guesting to our server, we should always be polite to those guesting. But it does further illustrate that SFers do want to puzzle it out for themselves.

Despite not successfully completing the first battery event, yesterday’s attempt was actually a good, solid attempt. We had some new experiences, which gave us the opportunity to learn what to do and not do. The whole thing gave random people who had not yet experienced the content an opportunity to learn the mechanics with a positive group of people and zero bickering so they too can become interested and invested. We had lots of new faces in our community mumble trying it out for the first time. And we had a representative from one of our Latino guilds with us in mumble for the first time translating to his guild in TS (which is totally awesome and essential for a server with a high Latino population).

Despite the fail, not doing as well as Wednesday/Thursday, and death by tidal wave, it was a positive experience for all involved. And it was certainly good step in the right direction from a community building perspective. It may take SF a bit longer than some of the other servers, but we’re doing okay.

Thanks for adding Northern Shiverpeaks to the list.

one more epic failed attempt on Ring of Fire

Yeah im a WvW myself, the last 3 match ups have been terrible for us. Not a lot of hope for our server, especially if they are being rude to other players.

Isle of Janthir could use some help. Haven’t gotten past 80% and I’ve been on peak hours a couple times.

Updated, thanks for all the feedback

Thanks for adding Northern Shiverpeaks to the list.

NSP has organized. I believe an attempt was made on Saturday that got Teq to 40% (so I was told — got bumped to overflow). Another attempt will be made today.

The SF attempts I’ve been at have been incredibly positive. But it did sound like some feathers were a little ruffled earlier in the day when folks found out there were guests. The Teq regulars greatly discouraged everyone from giving those guests a hard time.

We have lots of folks who are itching to bring this guy down and I’m still confident that there’s plenty of hope for our server. We’ve maintained a positive attitude and have been making great strides at community building on the PvE side of things. We’ll get him!

NSP is coordinating for the next run in about an hour.

You can add Devona’s Rest (NA) to that list as well.

Not a server but the oceanic time zone needs help. I don’t think teq has been killed in australian prime time (lets say 8 pm QLD time) yet and it makes me sad…

I really like the fight but it seems impossible to find an organised group this time of the day.

While this is a friggin sweet idea, I must say I reccommend making yet another Guild for the purpose of killing Tequatl. On main servers it’s hard to do because
- You get loads of random people
- Many are AFK while waiting for Tequatl and just scales the event for most of the duration

With a coordinated Guild you could find a somewhat empty overflow and fill it. Then coordinate over Teamspeak or the like. It works wonders.

Ruins of Surmia is going for a big push tonight, 8pm GMT. If you’re familiar with Teq strategy, willing to participate in an organised run, and listen to commanders, you’re welcome.

I think I heard before that we managed to get to the second phase on one of the first days. Still, the 10+ attempts I was on were all terrible, so yes, Ring of Fire certainly needs help.

So glad I went to guest on Gandara to see a proper run and get my title.

I will let my guildies know. Thanks.

I encourage you to accept that you are powerless over Teq, that, by design, your gaming life, here, is unmanageable. Once I admitted powerlessness, I realized that I could just say no to Teq.

After several days attempting the encounter on Ring of Fire (Never saw him under 80%) I guested Gandara as well

I think the biggest problem Ring of Fire suffers from, is that no one is actually taking charge of the encounter. There is not a guild taking charge like there is on Gandara.

At the same time, the server is listed with “high population”, and the last time I attempted the encounter on Ring of Fire, there were plenty of people.
I doubt it will become the target realm for organized guilds. Getting the kill becomes a lot harder if you guest a server where there are plenty of unorganized people and not room for your own players.

Ring of Fire definitely needs help, maybe with organizing more than anything else.

EDIT:
@Seraph, Ring of Fire(EU) is listed twice

Aurora glade. Terrible performance in this event too

Whiteside ridge

I have no idea if there’s any good guild on that server capable of clearing him. I’ve been there quite some times and all I see is the same results (95%, out of time, end)

Anvil Rock (NA)

Maguuma has never had a kill yet as far as I know.
At off-peak times it tends to be emptier than most overflows, so you guys should have no problems getting in.

I have work at these off-peak times, but I really want to see this done on my own server at least once, even if I’m not there to experience it.

If nothing else I’m hoping it might bring back some of the serious players from our own server from guesting 24/7 for Teq kills. =/
