Guild Wars 2

I’m all for hard content but.. waiting for Teq is so boring!

Can’t there be something to do, or at least some feedback on what conditions will summon the boss, and how close to that happening?

On overflow map, you don’t even get a notification to rest of map when boss is up, so can’t do anything but stand on one spot where the fight will be, ready for it to begin.

I was so bored I started looking up word games to play in chat. Well, lets just say I don’t log into GW2 to play word games in chat.

For people who don’t have that much game time or can’t log on and leave gw2 running whilst they go and do something interesting, this is a big part of why this event fails.

Standing around doing nothing for the off chance you might actually get in an overflow or main map that actually gets it done isn’t my idea of fun.

Maybe the devs need to survey the general pve population from non-wvw servers (most of whom never post in forums) and find out how underwhelmed they are.

What crossed my mind is that maybe teq shouldnt be on timer, but instead to be triggered somehow. So instead of zerg gathering on timer and not beeing able to do anything people could organize, gather and do him. Those that happend to be around can join and event still wouldnt be hurt by army of leechers and trolls.

Only problem i can see with this is someone heralding event in LA which could bring in bigger bunch of randoms, but i beleve it would still be less than timer zergs. Maybe even cooldown on event, something like 10 mins so it can’t ne spammed continually.

Someone worked out a Sparkly Fen champ farm run for the waiting time: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1mte3v/tequatl_intermission_champion_train/
