Tequatl reward
the same people who thought this would be fun with random people
for a 15 minute combat I find it enough with the chance to loot an ascended weapon
Time + Effort = Reward
Anet has decided that the time determines the guaranteed gold reward and the effort determines the possible drops.

However the effort for this as opposed to a dungeoun run…you use far more effort in fighting the dragon, thus it should be worth SEVERAL dungeoun runs worth of raw cash/gear.
If no changes, this event will be dead as soon as most players will get the achievements.
Remember karka queen.
I’m not even trying for the achievements – it’s just absurd. I know they’ll tone it down some in the coming months, I’ll get it then.
Rewards are definitely not worth it.

True. Without better awards, people will abandon it as soon as a lot of people get their achievements. Evidence: Karka Queen – which is muuuuuch easier.

You have a chance to loot an ascended weapon from any place that drops ascended mats. That means all champion boxes, jp chests, dungeons and world bosses. Even if the teq box drop chance is 10x greater, it still doesn’t offset the difficulty (also, most likely you will fail anyway and get exactly 0 chance for ascended drop).

The effort for completing a dungeon is completely subjective. IMO all dungeon runs are way too easy for the amount of reward they give with the exception of TA F/U and maybe Arah 4. Tequatl has it beat because of amount of health and a countdown. Dungeons do not have a timer so difficulty is null.
I believe the amount of time we have to defeat Tequatl is unrealistic for the majority of GW2 players.
GW players are just not that good in skill IMO. Some of them are just the kind of “I’m just happy to be here” type.
Scarlet’s Minions Invade! Is so far my favorite event I wish it was every hour. I have not attempted this event yet but from what I read this sounds like it’s going to be more aggravation then it’s worth.
-FSP-
15 mins of combat = 1g if you win, plus the 5 chests
Also, I think right now at least the challenge and fun of it can’t be discounted as a reward. <gasp> doing something cuz it’s fun and challenging?!??!?!?
Not to mention bragging rights.

There is no “however”. Time is 15 minutes max, so they put 1 gold reward. If it was longer, then maybe they’d put more gold reward. Effort is much higher, so they gave chance for unique items and highest chance at sought after items. Time still equals set gold reward, while effort equals possible loot.
One day they’ll finally swap them and put more RNG on time and more definite drops on effort.
i think the reward is enough

Time will tell.
not worth the effort. I tried it 2 times and the server cant even get it to 90%, one time they make it to the first cannon, battery phase (75% i think?) and later i saw the BG video and the rewards are garbage, honestly other than unlocking the achievement there is really no point to do Tequilla, i already stopped trying.
It’s a suitable reward. Not sure what you’re expecting.

You spend far more than 15 minutes on this fight. You are not even counting the time it takes to organize, explain fights, etc. This is essentially a raid… pick up groups won’t do it as the overflow shows.

CoF p1
I expected 1h of hard work and preparation + convincing 130 ppl that it’s worth loging into TS, and coordinating them, to be worth more then 3 CoF p1 runs.
As i said in a previous post and in a post prior to the release of Teq. If u don’t give good enough rewards why bother? It’s like having 2 options to getting a car. Work in a job that pays for 2000$/month or working in a job that offers 5$/month..keeping in mind the 2000$ one is even easier then the 5$/month and u want the same car. Which do u choose?
I personally don’t have the time to lose for hours and hours just to get a few greens maybe 2-3 yellows or best case scenario an ascended weapon. And that if i am lucky and get on the main server. If not just afk on a map. I will just make triple what u make doing 5 minute content in this game, and watch while ppl QQ about “1 gold drops” or get an ascended weapon after wasting hours waiting for main server, waiting for a good enough group, waiting for coordination and beating random drops from chests. Just gonna buy it

Chance of bad pugs getting on the turrets should be considered when it comes to reward….

Sea of Sorrows, a server never before so appropriately named.
First of all, this is not QQ post. Im just shocked what I saw.
I saw Blackgate killing Taco yesterday. Congrats and everything. But…
Have you seen the rewards ? It’s same as other bosses: bonus chest + couple of greens, ascended mats, and 1 gold. ONE GOLD. UNO ORO. EIN GOLD.Just to remind you, for completing dungeon you get 1 g to 3. And that’s 5 man group.
In teq fight, with about 100 people you get only 1g.Umm, could someone tell me who was thinking that this reward is enough ?
HAHAHAHAAHA. I knew the rewards would be crap. Said so in a few different posts here and on reddit. How typical.

Aren’t the skins unique to Tequatl only? I think that adds quite a bit to it there.
I don’t know what it would take for people to say the ‘rewards’ aren’t crap.
It’s the best chest currently in the game, and you can get it basically by Akitteng in the right place at the right time. (And as people get more experienced and/or they adjust the encounter, it will get easier and more right times will manifest themselves)
This is just the nature of zerg/world events in every game. The tradeoff is if they make the rewards better they’d have to up the respawn time and I don’t think we want the situation of camping for world events all the time to happen….
Guaranteed rewards like normal raids do. For extremely difficult content that u need a ton of ppl to do u need guaranteed not random rewards. That’s the main reason ppl do raids in games like wow…they know that, even with the effort and time wasted they invested, at the end they 101% get items that make the fight worth the time even if it’s or it’s not for your character (wow). This also encourages guild team work because a guild can come together to fight just to get players X Y Z in their guild the items they need.
