1. I cannot beat this World Boss several hours after it was released, therefore, it is impossible

2. I died several times to a boss I used to spam 11111111 in, therefore, it is overpowered

No. lesson of the day is: guild/raid content has no place in open world.
Also: A pug zerg is a pug zerg, and no amount of L2P shouting is going to change that.

Actions, not words.

To be fair though it seems almost impossible on some servers. I like difficulty but scaling or timers need to be adjusted. I am sure it is awesome for the Blackgates of the world.

hum…. The sarcasm is strong in you! I like it! xD

I came from the time we had lives in videogames, no cheats and we took months to end it. Now players want everything handed with no effort at all!

Old days:
- With a decent amount of effort you’ll have your rewards!
Nowadays:
- With a decent amount of QQ, you’ll have your rewards!

We should always take the past as a lesson to work in a better future. This applies to the videogames as well!

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

The only thing Anet got wrong is bumping up the rewards before upping the challenge, so pugs who spam 1 all day thought they were being rewarded for their effort. If Anet ramped up the challenge before the rewards, then there would be less whining imho

My beef is more over things that are minor, and with some tweaking would turn what’s nearly impossible into something that’s enjoyable.

(Note, I’ve no problem with any boss other than Teq – I think the dev’s did a fabulous job with the rest of them.)

-Teq’s timer should be longer – nearly double, I’d say, based on what my server has been able to put out.

-The AoE in the water (poison) needs to be more clearly visible – the red circles are nearly invisible when they’re in the water. Surprise insta-death areas are no fun. Give me an actual chance to dodge them, and I’m game.

-The blue wave – it’s damage/knockback doesn’t match it’s animation – makes it impossible to jump over, and even dodging is questionable. Get that synced up right, so that the damage/knockback matches the leading edge of it.

-The closest WP needs to be uncontested. Losing a minute just running back, out of a 15 minute fight – that’s just bad design.

-Adjust the loot to reflect the fact that the difficulty is that of playing dark souls with one hand, while soloing arah with the other. It’s an insanely hard fight – it should have an insane reward. A token for making a soulbound dragonbone weapon, maybe? (One token, one weapon, make the token account bound, the weapon soulbound on aquire.)

With those tweaks, I’d say Teq could be the most epic fun thing in the game.

Not sure if op is troll or not. Many overflows didn’t even do 10% damage to taco with 100+ people. Imo the thing is this form of event is too hard for so many random people put together. If this was an insatance your point would be good.. but this way I don’t know maybe increase timer time to 30min.

With those tweaks, I’d say Teq could be the most epic fun thing in the game.

1. Timer: Maybe a bit longer, but nobody knows how to run the event in the first day or so. Give it a week, and people will be having much less trouble. If they increase the timer at all, maybe to 20 minutes, would be more than enough once we all get “good” at it.

2. Water poison issues are valid. It’s hard to counter if you can’t see it coming. Listening to the NPC chatter helps.

3.The wave does need a bit of tweaking. I was lucky with it, but others were not so much.

4.No…don’t “uncontest” the waypoint. All it would do is give people the opportunity to say “WP and run is faster than rez.” Rezzing is part of it of a coordinated team. I, for one, wouldn’t want that change.

5. They give loot? I’ll have to check my bags, because I didn’t care. It was a blast even though we failed…this time…

A bit longer timer would help 20 – 25 mins especially servers having an issue. I admit my first 2 encounters with Tea Kettle we barely made 10% dmg (Overflow), people raged about Lupicus at first(I know its not the same)
