Is anyone else watching this?………….. smh………………..

Anet. WE DO NOT WANT MORE ZERG CONTENT.

Just because you add more health doesnt make it harder! There is nothing strategic about zerging. Its just a spam fest.

At PAX, ArenaNet will be unveiling some new content at their panel. Will it just be an early preview of world 2 in Super Adventure Box or will it be something brand new? Maybe we are getting a sneak peak at the Thaumanova Reactor. We know they’re working on a new borderlands map for WvW so it might just be that. Hopefully it’s something totally unexpected though. Surprises are always a good thing.

Be sure to tune in to twitch at around 1:30 PM PST to find out.

Speculation says it might be a revamped Tequatl (plus maybe other world bosses?) which might have some of the “invasion event” elements in it.

that would be the most disappointing reveal since…….. since game was released. Why the hell would you need pax to announced something as boring? Just drop a nuke on those boring stationary bosses and build something new that has more than 1 and a half animation…

They are also adding a giant Nuka Cola Quantum world boss. As you damage the giant bottle AoE leaks start popping out of it. If you stand in the AoE for more than 2 seconds your character is permanently transformed into a mutant and will proceed to be made fun of by passing by asura.

I think dat boss would be too hardcore and its not disappointing the casual crowd anet wants! I would fight that boss tho, knowing its more powerful and rare than im.

Im watching the stream and this looks dumb as hell. Its exactly what we’ve had since game was released but this time around its more of a chore that takes even longer to spam your autos. They already talk about teq achievements as if its something that will increase your fun while auto attacking and rezing for 30 minutes.

They did say you can get special Ascended Weapons out of this as well as a Tequatl mini. So it’s not just rares possible. Plus it requires coordination beyond mindlessly hacking at a dragon’s toe.

The new fight doesn’t look much better.

Still a static sponge, still something that takes a lot of people smashing into it to kill. Even the 80+ players hitting it in the video didn’t take it to less than 50% health, not because they kept dying or were busy with something else needed to kill the boss, rather because Teq could simply take the hits.

I like the change to the system – rewards given after the event is done – and I like that losing actually changes the map – as small and meaningless as the change is, people will simply avoid that little corner of the map until Teq returns, which is what already happens anyway.

The dragon itself doesn’t look any more fun to fight. Jormag still appears to be better.

Plus it requires coordination beyond mindlessly hacking at a dragon’s toe.

Why?

The dev mentioned that the turrets aren’t really necessary to kill the dragon. If anything, they look like the Shatterer’s turrets.

It does still look like it could be outnumbered. But they definitely put in a lot of stuff to make it more annoying. All the debuffs will definitely slow everyone down despite numbers though. And slowing down doesn’t particularly make it better or more challenging, just makes people question their time spent more. :/

Curious to see how it would play out on live servers though. If the rewards are worth it (which they sound like it would be) then it will be done, otherwise it’ll be abandoned like every other “strategic” boss we have now.

Either way, it looks way more interesting to do then any of the current fights. I’ll definitely look forward to trying it.

If a world boss requires more from me than standing at 1200 range and pushing 1 I’ll just hit it enough to get credit and afk. eg, Scarlets Invasion

Point being that if it’s too low (like precursors) it will not sustain enough players. When not enough players can be motivated to go to the event, those that do will find it even more disheartening, thus they will stop going as well.

There will be an initial rush of players for the achievements and to figure out the chances. Once that surge passes unless the chances are reasonable it’ll only aid in the dwindling of the event.

We had a team working on this for a long time and its finally ready!

Did they say if they were tradable weapons? If not its just worthless junk until rng favors you and gives you a weapon you need.

That “special” ascended weapon will have a glowing orb on the handle of the weapon as on the new Eternity,,,,,, mark my words it’ll be something extremely simplistic and stupid.

Yes I am. They didn’t even bring it to less than 60% of his life and we know there’s different phases based on percentage of HP.

Even if it ends up dying easily, from what I see it’s still ten times better than what it used to be. But again, I’ll have to fight it before judging.

It’s something similar to zerging except players in that zerg can’t suck. Basically they’re trying to make large scale content challenging. Yes, Tequatl is a damage sponge but he also has abilities that will kill you if you don’t know what you’re doing.
