Guild Wars 2

This is what the battle between Tequatl and the… players looks like at Piken Square.

Full health, no one attacks, turrets destroyed…
It’s been like this for months now. I guess people lost the motivation to lose over and over
I have no idea how the activity around Tequatl is on other servers, but all I can do is to guess it’s deserted like Piken?

Judging by your clock, at midnight what do you expect to see there? Only havoc and despair ofc.

I do teq plenty. Its done quite a bit. On all servers? No.

Attempted and often killed weekly on Gunnars Hold, thanks to a select number of commanders who tirelessly organise and coordinate it all.

It does vary from server to server though. It depends largely on a very small number of dedicated people willing to get it off the ground and stick with it even after numerous fails, using tools like a server forum to get the community involved.

Improved rewards would go a long way though. They aren’t bad, but the chances for ascended or unique skins are just too low to entice enough people more regularly

I’m quite sure FSP is still doing it 1-3 times each day.

Dont come to FSP, tyvm.

It is like this all the time no matter if it day or night.

Unfortunately this is the negative effects of the newer content. Make it so that events must have a full and competent map to complete, and leave the less populated servers unable to complete them 90% of the time. Better bandwagon onto top tier servers…

Nobody does it on Underworld too.
Sometimes I guest to desolation in order to do it, but end up in overflow and fail most of the time. Its kinda sad only one server does Teq regulary.

More like due to it requiring an hundred people.
And those people won’t go there – they’ll go where they already know they can find enough people, be it desolation or other servers known to do it.

We do it everyday 1-3 times a day and also the 3heads wurm, if you want to join us stay aware of our reddit

http://www.reddit.com/r/txs

We fight Tequatl about once a week on Aurora Glade. It does require a lot of coordination to get enough players for it. I’m glad some commanders feel up to that task.

It’s the same way in Gandara at every spawn during the day. At least there was a guild (DV) that used to try it on saturday evenings, but haven’t seen them there since Wurm came out.

Sadly, joining TxS isn’t really an option for me. Just from reading posts from the recruiter on reddit, I can tell that’s not a guild I’d like to be in.

Having someone in Desolation’s Sparkly Fen main map is pretty much our best bet.

No problem on my server shrug
That’s why this system exists in the first place. The game needs more fights like tequatl, tbh. I think the wurms are a little bit to hard to kill them daily but tequatl is just about right.

15 days since anything has posted here but I hope it okay of i bump this thread anyway.

Tequatl is still pretty much abandoned and and it appears that this is the case with Triple Jungle Wurms also, abandoned, deserted, people has just given up.

Guesting to a server that play one of those does work but shouldn’t be necessary.
Living Story could also be one of the reasons no one play those bosses anymore. Living Story will never be finished as new content and events is added every two weeks.

Tequatl was redone and became a deserted event my server. Way to go ANet, we need more content that is rarely done on full servers and never on the others.

Can’t wait for more!

Weir, we have some guild in Piken. Piken Square Dragon Hunters. Check them. Write to Malfurion Windfury (their commander).

Hi, Malfurion here.

So yes, we are trying to organize a guild on Piken to kill mainly Teq, but there are ppl doing Wurm too. If you would like to join us, you can whisper me, or get hold of some other ppl with [PSDH] guild tag. We have our own TS and site, check it here: http://psdh.eu/ , with timers for the bosses.

Let’s try to make Piken a better server!

I’m already in a guild, but thanks for the offers.

One of the reasons I created this thread is to see if Anet is aware of the issue and maybe have a solution for it.

thousands of people have been trying to get Anet to acknowledge this problem since right after the LS associated with it ended or even before. It is one of my biggest issues with this game, and will continue to be so until something is done to make tequatl fun for everyone, not just the entitled few who like to server hop, or were fortunate to be on a full server.

They don’t acknowledge the problem because they don’t believe there is one. They designed it to require 80+ people (or so they claim), and have no desire to tone it down in the slightest.

What do you mean by this? Tequatl and the Great Wurm are Elite level content. It’s not meant to be successfully done by everyone. Only the hardcore, coordinated groups are regularly successful. That doesn’t mean you’re not free to try and organize a run for yourself. In fact, it’s encouraged that you try.

Working as intended.

THat’s what happened on Crystal Desert.

@chemiclord
Did someone from anet actually say that they don’t want everyone to be able to attempt tequatl from their own server, or are you just assuming that, because they haven’t responded, and that’s what you want to believe?

He was so cool back then

Here’s Josh explaining their intent with Teq and Wurm events:

Josh Foreman.8250:

Hey, thanks everyone! We spent a lot of time tweaking the balance on this, and I’m glad that so many people appreciate our efforts. We REALLY like hearing that people are making memories and cheering each other on. Those are the kinds of experiences we make MMOs for.
I’m not surprised that the Wurm is not liked by as many people. We were making that specifically for the hard core groups that are all about the organization and figuring out the strategy and tactics. It’s really cool watching the community grapple with this puzzle and innovate as they get closer and closer to finding a winning strategy.

Working as intended.

I’m not saying they should make Tequatl easier (well, increased time limit wouldn’t hurt.), but there’s no point having an elite event if lots of servers isn’t playing it.

I’m not trying to make a fight or anything, I’m just trying to get my point out and hopefully find a solution.

They could not confirm that something is wrong with the new Tequatl, because they had another raid (3 worms) in the pipeline.

Now we have two super raids, noone cares for. Can’t wait to have some more of those.

What?? So you consider players ‘entitled’ for being in guilds that can ’successfully do this event??

I hate to break your misguided notions, but 40-50 people can beat Teq. All it takes is some organisation. If you cannot be kitten d to learn the event and get 50 players from your guild, server, whatever to do this, then you do not deserve to succeed the event. Simple as that ..

I don’t understand the problem.

Several options have already been suggested, including:

• Guest to a server that already has a regular, coordinated group doing the event,
• Join a guild or other group on your server to do it with them
• Form your own group to get together and do the event.

And none of these are acceptable?

Transfer to Desolation, where the only time it fails is because of guests.

You need organization to down this dragon. Usually that’s where guilds come in.

The game needs more content that requires brains and coordination. Once the player base gets organized and learns how to play as a group in this multiplayer game, then we’ll get more interesting content.

If we ask them to dumb everything down.. well then everything will be a mindless zergfest like all the other bosses in this game… where you afk on auto-attack.
