Guild Wars 2

If a group of people manage to actually kill this boss, it should autodrop an ascended chest and have a 33% chance to drop the new ascended.

33% is way too much. After few fights you would see all players running with full Tequatl weapon sets. Still, I expect at least 10 champion loot bags for this. Otherwise this event will be dead in few weeks.

No.

First server to beat it and give the info on drops..and if no one gets and ascended events dead. That’s all it will take.

I am done with it, for now.

I expected it to be hard but not 5% in 15 min hard. I thought it would at least get to 50% on a fail. I will just wait a few weeks and see what happens. Otherwise its a waste of time and silver at the moment.

In a month people will have this on farm status…. its like no one pays attention to the pattern that happens with every update.

100% is too much although i would not complain. But at least 10 to 20% would be nice. We need something that will ,,repair" damage that ascended crafting is doing to game.

Dont worry Anet will make it so that you can kill him 10000 times and never get an exotic.
Tequatl the lootless still lives!

I hope they don’t do that.

100% chance to drop a RANDOMLY stated ascended weapon chest.
33% chance after that to also drop his weapon.

Pattern? Has there ever been an open world boss update, or any open world mob adjustment where a creature went from easy to kill to, most groups hardly get him below 90%?

I can only think of them making bosses easier to date… not harder… and certainly not SIGNIFICANTLY harder.

Still a no.
Once people actually learn the encounter, and it becomes easier to do because of it, then everyone will be getting one of those weapons which will trivialize them to the ground.

I believe he is speaking of the pattern where content comes out, people complain about it and week later everyone and his grandmother has destroyed it.

the encounter as is will never be completed. but I’ll bet a 100g they’ll soon nerf him, i.e. his health to make it doable. while it’s a nice idea to expect people to coordinate, the average pve players will not be able to do that to the currently necessary extent. if they’d allow guilds to start a tequatl instance only for themselves it might be a different story.

The bigger problem to me is that we were led to believe these are exclusive ascended weapon skins. A more accurate description is exclusive colors of the only existing ascended weapon skin we already have.

Lame.

Seems like a bad analogy to me. SAB for instance wasn’t this way, it actually got retro-actively nerfed. The last guantlet boss was unbeatable for a large number of people. Neither one of those got easier, and as a result, once achievements were gotten, no one did either one again.

As far as the instances/fratals that came out that everyone complained about… Those weren’t actually hard, but people felt they were. Many of us walked into those with a group of 5 known people and no issue. But this event prevents in essence any sort of coordination with known elements because of the open world nature.

Winner winner chicken dinner.
Open world coordination will never happen outside of large guild(S) doing the meta.
Tequatl is the new grenth. book it.

I have an idea, each (won) fight = 1 tequatl token, 10 tokens at the vendor = ascended weapon.

But that would make it not RNG and we all know we can’t have that.

Anet loves RNG too much for tokens to happen in this event
