Guild Wars 2

They should rename this.

Turning up at an overflow is a guaranteed fail. People will soon realise this and as soon as they spawn in, will go ‘thanks anet, screwed again’ and start to port out.

The only reason most are even turning up is to do the daily- if it wasn’t for that it would be pretty quiet already.

The only other reason anyone might want to carry on fighting as a disorganised 40+ people is that they are too thick to realise no amount of shouting and trying to organise people (many of which don’t read/understand English) is going to work, and you are basically wasting 15 minutes of your leisure time.

Sooner or later without tweaks or proper scaling this will become about as popular as Karka Queen.

I like the cannons, I even don’t mind the wave (if you can see it given lag etc) but the red circles under the water are just plain stupid.

Also trying to get warriors and guardians to protect the cannons instead of having them press 1 against Teq’s leg is an uphill struggle for a lot of servers…

+1 rename it now!

Just out of curiosity which do you find less fun, SAB world 2 or Teq?

Teq hands down.

Nah, it would be fun only if people read instructions / get on a server VOIP and get their kittens awesomely organised like Blackgate. That video looked fun!
The only issue is that unfortunately, you can’t get rid of the AFKers and other people of low motivation and due to low player caps, some good ppl end up in Overflows.

SAB ofc. Its an April Fools minigame. Tequatl is a piece of the real game / story.

On the one hand, i genuinely admire your word play and got a laugh out of ‘Teq the funless.’

On the other hand, assuming people are only doing teq for the daily is silly. And complaining that people are unorganized and don’t understand the fight one day after it has been released is pretty premature. Give it time and people will learn the fight, and ts will become less necessary.

I do agree about the red circles. I hate not knowing the source of the dmg i’m taking.

While I don’t necessarily agree that Tequatl isn’t fun (I actually like it, it’s friggin hard man, haven’t beaten him yet but I’m gonna keep at it), the rename is pretty darn clever and you got a laugh out of me.

I think the biggest problem is that Teq is currently a bit too much of a good thing. Teq + Mobs? Great! Teq + Fingers? Great! Teq + Timer? Great? Teq + Timer + Mobs + Fingers + Contested Waypoint? Not so great.

This is just from my experiences last night. Show up around 8 PM, Divinity’s Reach. I get there just in time to watch Teq fly off, but figure I can wait around until the next one. I go and do some nearby quests and events, get in some mining. 9 rolls around… No Teq. Well, ok. Find some teeth. 9:30 rolls around… Still no Teq. Finally, around 9:48, Teq appears! He gets an awesome swoop by, lands, the guns open fire. I’m gonna fight a dragon!

Er, hold that thought. Sorry, Teq, I know you’re the main attraction and all but you’re just going to have to settle for staring at the turrets shooting at you, since these runty little undead asurans and those krait want to play pinball, and apparently I’m the ball. At least, I THINK it was the asurans and krait. Honestly couldn’t see what I was bouncing off of, I just know I would randomly go flinging around the screen while my control failed to do anything. Then I die, go to the WP, and lose a minute and half dodging brutes and slavers while I try to get back to the fight.

I stab a krait, shoot a brute, kill a couple of Fingers and hey! I got the wave jumping achievement! Er, not really sure how, I only actually saw one or two waves, but I’ll take it. I pop a couple of shots at Teq, then get pulled into another game of pinball. Dead once more, its back to the waypoint.

Another minute and a half gone as I run back. Dodge the poison clouds, dodge the krait, shoot the dragon aaaaand its another game of pinball, this one dumping me back in a poison cloud. Back to the WP.

I have now spent nearly a third of event running back and forth between the WP and the fighting, but I charge back in. Get slammed around by a couple more invisible waves and things, but whatever. Shoot the dragon, shoot the mobs, shoot the mobs again, get poisoned again, nearly bite it a fourth time…

Then Teq gets up and flies off. I can’t really blame him, I mean its HIS show and everyone is ignoring him as they fight off evil sticks, midget zombies, and cowboy snakes. Sure, he’s taken a few lumps but c’mon! He’s a frickin’ undead dragon and now one is paying any attention to him! I’d have flown off too! Meanwhile, I’m out the ten or so silver its going to take for armor repairs and WP costs and have no desire to wait around for another two hours to waste it again.

Teq doesn’t need to be nerfed. Teq is fine. The timer needs to be extended, and the waypoint needs to be removed from contested, but other than that I would be willing to do it again.

NSP does the karka queen every night after the temples… Some servers actually organize events. It’s nice to see more of these events that require a good bit of organization and effort.

Actually that probably is a good name for it now.

This made me LOL great post and very true im sure of a lot of players thoughts

Teq the Funless—-ha, I was already calling him this myself.

AND THIS:

>I think the biggest problem is that Teq is currently a bit too much of a good thing. Teq + Mobs? Great! Teq + Fingers? Great! Teq + Timer? Great? Teq + Timer + Mobs + Fingers + Contested Waypoint? Not so great.

Is exactly how I feel. At LEAST open up the Splintered Coast WP because when I get 1 shot and die and have to take forever to get back I am definitely NOT having fun.

And, I’m at level 80 with decent armor and a clue, so I shouldn’t get one shot like EVER. I never have in other MMOs I played and it isn’t fun to be one shot when you then have to come back from a far waypoint. Especially from those STUPID mines that you can’t even see…..

I approve of this suggestion. Suits the nature of this change quite nicely, as this sort of content is not my idea of fun.
