Guild Wars 2

im killing teq every single day i want that acsended weapon chest…..but it never drops…..what am i doing wrong

Playing a buy to play game.

Unless you’re a carefree, ‘play how I want’ kind of player I wouldn’t hold out hope for getting an ascended chest, chances are the stats will not match your build anyway. Using it as a skin is alright though, I guess.

The problem is you’re killing him everyday and expecting a drop.

Kill him randomly once a week or month/few months as apathetically as possible and you might get a drop. Or you can quit for a few months and let your hidden account MF build up and kill him.

Welcome to RNGWars2.

RNG is bad in gw2! very bad and we know it

im killing teq every single day i want that acsended weapon chest…..but it never drops…..what am i doing wrong

After about 10-15 I got the carrion ascended drop, but I have no toon that uses carrion so it is just sitting in my bank for now.

Bad RNG account.

You’d be better off conforming to what ANet wants and just craft one. If you need gold, go through the gemstore.
Ultimately everything revolves around that.

I simply gave up as soon as I saw that the skin could drop only and worst of all, from Tequatl, that is done in probably barely one-two servers in EU -.- Can’t be bothered to guest every day, waste about 2 hours (Since always must get there up to 1 hour before the event not to be kicked in overflow) then struggle to fight it, die 100000000 times and in the end go home with 3 rares from the best box and nothing better than that…

I killed Teq for the Achievements only. So far I haven’t had to endure 71 Tequatl kills and have crafted 3 Ascended weapons on my low gold income because I’m generally too lazy to farm. Seems like a better deal to me. It’d be nice to get a box drop to get my bow though because I don’t feel like lvling Huntsmen atm for 1 weapon. .-.

Yes, crafting them is the solution if you need a random Ascended weapon…but I guess the OP, like me, was actually after the special Sunless skin that can’t be crafted nor obtained elseway.

Would you be happier if 1 ascended weapon dropped and everyone who participated got to roll on it? That’s why RNG can feel so bad.

Personally, I think they should have gone with a limited personal and traditional loot system, because people would feel more rewarded for seeing the possibility of winning an item, rather than not knowing. In the end, it’s the same thing rewards-wise.

Aren’t they the same thing, just Green? I guess Teq has a small particle effect but doesn’t seem worth the stress.

I don’t like the skins personally so that wasn’t a problem for me~ except for the pretty Crystal Ball Scepter my Guardian uses. That was a random wvw drop tho.

I was extremely disappointed with the skins because Teq is actually my favorite of the Dragons and I was hoping for gruesome undead resident evil-like weapons. XD

Nope, the skin is dark blue with green glow and black smoke animation, but I totally agree with you that it’s not worth the stress. I would have made it if craftable, but when I saw it’s only a ridiculous RNG drop from Teq I simply said “screw it then” and went on with life.

You’re NOT doing so bad. I have killed a lot of world bosses, temple bosses, champions, elites, dungeons, and I never got a precursor dropped. You only killed Teq 71 times, I have killed him more than a hundred times, granted, not the new Teq, but still, I killed thousands of world bosses, that are supposed to drop better with their chest.

My sword is longer than your sword.

Could have had a full suit of raid gear in WoW with the amount of times you spent killing him…

More like full Raid gear and decked out in full pvp gear as well. And the encounters would have been more challenging and fun.

edit: And probably had a couple rare mounts drop, and be able to outfit alts with other drops, and made a substantial amount of gold, and got some crafting mats, and etc,etc,etc.

Em from my personal experience after 502 tequatl kill pretty much evry day since he was revorked , i got only 2 tequatl hoards the first one after 72 kills the 2nd one after 489 kills xD. Still i have like 3 mil karma only from him tooooonnnss of ecto and minipets ^.Still for who is complaining tequatl takes 20 min top to orgakittene and 6-7 min to die ^^.I suggest u join a tequatl guild less stress more fun .

P.S : TXS commander for who is wondering how that’s even possibole.

Why ? he spwns evry 2 h.01 example 17.40 the organization start’s , he spwns 18.01 , we got the serv we got the ppl GG.

Nevertheless, the OP is somewhat right when he claims that RNG account bound boxes are a bad mechanic. Even if it’s RNG the boxes should at least be sellable, so people like timidobserver can sell theirs and the OP can buy one if he gives up hoping for that lucky drop. On my server people quit tequatl really fast as soon as they learned how low the droprates for these boxes are.

I’m in TTS, they assemble an hour before spawning, map gets full usually 45 mins before spawning.

TXS here we organize in 10-20 min top xD.Dunno how u guys do it but we tend to kill teq on Fast and furious mode xD. Plus we are only 3 guild , i guess is easier for us to do that ^^.

This is spot on. Time spent within GW2 isn’t rewarding, when considering the atrocious drop rates and the extreme grind. The skins aren’t that amazing.

I always have something to do in WoW. Always. Here in GW2, I log on, linger in Lion’s Arch for 15 minutes and then just log off. Nothing is interesting or challenging enough.

The dailies absolutely killed the game for me.

I thought Tequatl only dropped Rabid’s weapons (Precision, toughness, condition damage)?

It’s just a basic design difference in the f2p/b2p model versus the pay to play model. For some it’s worth it to not have to pay the sub fee.

You’re not ’’forced’’ to kill Tequatle expecting a reward.

Your play experience isn’t gated by mandatory grind. Any grind is optional…I still do not understand this complaint.

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Time spent within GW2 isn’t rewarding, when considering the atrocious drop rates and the extreme grind.

This is the core problem with GW2 in general. The much hated champ trains are a symptom of this problem.

I set out from the start when Ascended weapons were released to get one of my crafting to 500 so I could just make the things. The drop rate on chests is about as slim as precursors, and then there’s the chance that you won’t even be able to use the weapon you get from it.

It really does seem like that Arenanet places it’s greed before anything else in the game, including the players.

GW2 open world PvE problem is that if you play game right way you don’t really get kitten. Let’s imagine. You run around in some map doing your PvE stuff like game should be played and then you see scary champ and you are like “Wohooo it’s frigging champ!!! That monster probably have some ancient treasure in his belly”. Then you write in map chat that you need help because it’s frigging champ (nobody solo champs). You get lot’s of players help you (like 2) because everybody like to get ancient treasure. You spam auto attack 5 min “well that wasn’t hard. Maybe i just have so pro spec” and champ drop some bag and there is couple crappy green items inside. You start to rage in map chat and some dude paste 5 stacks of champ bags in map chat and tell you that he kill +100 champs/day + whine that you messed their champ train.

Someone earlier today managed to get an ascended armor chest from teq. It was a zintl’s armor chest and while I don’t use those kind of stats, I wouldn’t mind getting an armor chest for certain light armor art.

As for me, I got the usual “superior rune of I’m never going to use this ever” and many others got themselves an exotic “what does this trinket have anything to do with my build?”

To be honest, I don’t think it’s really worth it at all considering the low chances.

Loot overall in this game is dismal. It’s the ONE thing that makes me really dislike it. Believe me, there are many things I love about it. But the bad loot/RNG is SO SO horrible it is killing my desire to try to get anywhere. Need 250 T6 mats, or say, 2,000 (like for a legendary you need 8 × 250)?? Well, good luck pal. Maybe you might get it with “regular” play in about 2 years. If you’re not farming, you might as well just forget about getting anything good. And the farming is killing me too. Just boring as all get out.

TL; DR. Sorry, I think I’m almost at my breaking point with GW2. Didn’t mean to hijack and whine. Carry on.

It’s like that Swingers convo where the main character’s friend is trying to explain to him why the ex gf won’t call him back until the moment he genuinely forgets about her. You can’t act like you’ve forgotten either, she will undoubtedly know you are faking it.

You have to truly get all notions of a reward completely out of your mind.

And that’s when it will drop.

I wish I could just witness one of the Teq kills but the Teq Terror squad guild isn’t recruiting anymore and every time I go to the zone when he spawns no one is there

Is there some other undocumented arrangement for getting in Teq kills that ArenaNet has decided doesn’t need to be explained in the game and requires players to research to learn about it? Making an event like this and not putting in any thought or game systems to help players take part in the event after the initial rush is a poor design IMO

Everytime you kill Tequatl, the game should reward the player with a fragment of something, that can be used in the mystic forge to receive after 4 Tequatl Kills an ascended chest, from that ypou can receive any of those tequatl sunlless weapons free of choice-.

Tjhat way there would be a much bigger incentive of killing Tequatl, if you’d just know, that you actually progresss with each kill slowly a stept forward to your wanted weapon(s) … Stuff like the minipet can stay rng rewards, but everythign that has to do with equipment, should not be of RNG mechanics.

Equipment needs to be clear progressive, so that palyers can see, how they slowly get nearer to their goals. If you can clearly follow your progress of receiving your wanted weapons, then all of that slaying hard bosses would make also way more fun and feel lesser of a grind for like 99% nothing, but crap that is absolutely not rewarding for all of the effort.

I’m guessing that they don’t want people farming ascended. It’ll cut into potential gem sales.

The stats suck for Sunless and everyone knows it. It’s painfully obvious he’s after the unique skin. Stop giving him suggestions to things that don’t even apply to the problem. Hell, buying gems and getting gem store skins don’t even help here. Troll less people >_>

People are under the misconception that Legendaries were intended to be acquired quickly and easily.
Although there are means to make this possible, that doesn’t mean Arena Net should cater to those who won’t go down those paths.
Legendaries are supposed to be a long term goal that you worked on over the course of the years they hoped you’d be playing this game for.
In return you get a special cosmetic to show people and for you to appreciate the time you’ve spent.
It’s resources you WILL accumulate on the side, and when you get close to being ready to craft it, you make that final push.
There is some room for improvement in the precursor field though.

Be happy with those 71 kills.

Since the boss update landed I haven’t met even once a group of players that actually know what to do and get him down. Not even once.

Desolation.

The problem is NOT that it takes one hour to organize the fight and kill, the problem is that the server gets overcrowded in the area and people who arrive later are sent to OVERFLOW servers and are unable to fight the boss , hope it’s more clear now.

@comparisons to games like WoW (when people claim they could have a whole set of equivalent gear in the same time + rare mounts etc):

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=60400

heroic item droprates: from 0.6% (54 out of 8603) to 1.4% (118 out of 8603)
And you’d need enough people to do the raid with you + all the trash before. Aren’t raids once a week only?

your hyperbole is remarkable
(nah, it’s not, just tiresome)

Hyperbole huh? Nah…just facts, sorry. There is no way in hell you could talk a WoW player into running something 71 times waiting for a drop.

Even back during Vanilla I only had to run speed Strat like 10 times to get the rare mount to drop for me. And during those runs had lots lots of other drops to use, de for enchants, items for rep, and more challenge and fun in an instance than any I’ve had since playing GW2. And drop rates and ease of acquiring BiS has only gotten easier since then.

The drop rates for this game is just a way to keep players playing, and honestly, there’s nothing wrong with that in a f2p or b2p model. But don’t compare the rng here with pay to play games, that idea just doesn’t make sense.

Even rep grinds usually only take about a month or two months nowadays.

RNG – Anet relies on it FAR TOO MUCH! Its frustrating hey?

Still you can grind crafting and sink a tonne of gold into making one. Of course thats dead boring, but then so is waiting for 2+ hours for Teq to spawn…

Because drops in this game suck. Simple explanation.

This would be a great change… there should be a really good chance for it to drop, with everyone getting a chance to roll for it.

Something to be said for traditional loot systems. Across the board this would be a great change to the game. Eliminate personal loot.

That’s a different and rare type of situation. Normal progression in WoW for basic gear might be 7 times, certainly not 71 times.
