NOTE: I’m completely happy with the content, I really enjoy the challenges that have been presented in the last few content updates now, this is only meant for a food for thought process nothing more, nothing less

I’ve got to thinking about it, and I came up with a sad realization. Given the amount of people required to coordinate this fight, the amounts of dps needed to kill him within 15mins, and the current success rate, will this event become a dead in the water update to Tequatl when the vast majority of players in the PvE world go and explore the next 2-weeks living story content? Given the current situation, and noting how many casual gamers that are on GW2, will it be possible to complete this event given that a lot of interest may in fact be lost by that time if the fight stays as is? I’m not saying it’s too hard infact as mentioned I love challenges, I’ve spent the last 2 weeks farming Tribulation mode, but I only speak for myself, and as everyone knows, there are a lot of softcore players in this game who even by now, may have given up on the event.

It’s not like Tribulation mode or even the Gauntlet where it’s entirely dependent upon a single player, this is an intense group oriented content of which the survival rate will immensely depend on how much interest there is. This is a very obvious problem given how many current Group events for some map bosses are left never completed because the vast majority of players have no interest, or simply don’t see the time and effort put in will net them anything in return.

Not only this, but the reward system is limited to only a few guarantees, namely being the achievement points, but it’s still very unclear what the chest rewards are for actually beating him.

As stated, I’m absolutely excited about the content so please don’t sit and troll this post.

Any thoughts?

I like the idea that the dragon events fail most of the time. Isn’t that how dragons work? They show up and terrorize an area and then leave… until a group of adventurers brave and powerful enough to take them on show up and slay them.

I see it as an improvement, to be honest.

Teq is on a 1-2 hour timer. Don’t worry.

Tequatl in 2 weeks will be like the Karka Queen fight.
Deserted and forgotten…

I do, as well, but that doesn’t invalidate the fact that this event will be rarely, if ever, attended, never mind completed, after the initial novelty wears off – especially after everyone completes their “9 attempts” achievement. At best, you’ll see an occasional turnout as a large guild tries to motivate a coordinated group of guildies, along with a minority of PUGgers, but I doubt it’ll be an event that’s completed by such a group on a regular basis.

Exactly. Southsun Cove is a frustrating waste of time if you’re a solo player. Groups fare better, but because it’s largely optional content, there’s no reason to return there except when ANet holds an event. I can’t remember the last time I did the Karka Queen fight, personally, and I can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone from my prior or current guild try to round up a group for it.

I think once the lfg tool begins to work properly, you are going to see more people organize themselves to do the karka queen event.

I thought about this, but it’s anyone’s guess as to when it will be fully implemented.

In two weeks, one’s living story is over, they’ll nerf him and nerf him a lot.

Either way, the rewards are absolute garbage. So people will stop doing him for that reason as well.
