The only thing that matters
If u don’t give loot of biblical proportions for doing this event, it will transform into a karka queen nobody cares about and everyone can happily live their lives without ever caring or knowing about.
Glhf with rewards….rest are details.
And doom prophets have arrived!
I got news for you, karka queen loot is really good, in fact, it is best loot one can get out of any world event. And not to mention that there are plenty of people showing up once settlements are done.
you get a chest after each 25% healthdepletion of the boss, + a bonus chest for defeating him. This would make 5 chests. + the bonus chest has the best chance to get an exclusive tequatl-themed ascended weapon and a tequatl mini. Furthermore there are quite a few achievments for this encounter which reward you with achievement points and an exclusive back-skin (Tequatl wings).

And that is precisely the problem. “Once the settlements are done”. Which translates into “once the event shows up on the various timer sites”.
BUT you need a comparatively large group of players to do the settlements.
Any other pre-event chain can be done by a single determined person. Even in Harathi Hinterlands, Dredgehaunt Cliffs or Fields of Ruin. And even though I play on a high population server I’ve more than once been that single determined person. With the zerg suddenly showing up once the timer site displays “here’s the quick freeloot everyone”.
The Karka Queen is almost never done on my home server, which, keep in mind, is a high population server.
I honestly however don’t think that will be the problem with Tequatl. If I remember correctly, he will be announced server wide like the Scarlet events. Even if not, Tequatl has no pre-events. So the trickiest part on high population server will be not to get caught in an overflow shard. Unless they manage to trigger him simultaneously in the overflow shards.
The Scarlet invasion has shown it to be possible to do something like that, so maybe we get lucky.
The other problem will be coordination of the group attempting to do the event, but that is a different issue.
Edit: Nevermind the concerns about the overflow shards. Just found the answer in a different topic. It will work like the invasion events with the event being active in any overflow triggered within the first ten minutes. YAY!

On desolation karka queen is almost always an overflow event. And it gives fine loot.

Well, arenanet not forcing players to put effort in whole process instead of just grab reward part is different topic. Pre-events should encourage players to finish them, not support “someone else will do it, i will pick up greasy loot” mentality.
