Guild Wars 2

First laser phase reached in 8:30, almost not one single scratch on laser and batteries, killed him during second burn phase with 4:20 left and not one single turret destroyed. Just one commander, no guilds involved in that. Just megaserver awesomenes!

Cheers – long live the megaservers! (and yes, I previously failed in 4 attempts…but isn’t it way more challenging to have such events that also may fail? Thx god not another Maw, Fire Ele, Behemoth, Golem, Mega Destroyer,…

This is good to hear. We have lots of people to teach to get to the point we can complete it regularly, but we’ll get there…

I previously believed Teqautl would be a lot more difficult after the ferocity nerf, however with how ferocity scales now, players do more crit damage in lower level areas, however 80 areas are more difficult, specifically Fractals.

Edit: Can’t crit teq but can crit mobs, easier defense, also was thinking about triple wurm

You cannot crit Teq.

Ontopic, I’ve been doing Teq every day for the last week or so, always successful.
Even Worm came really close a couple of times, and almost every time I get a silver chest from it.

It was awful on our attempt yesterday. We had done it daily with no problems the last week or so, but yesterday, afk people everywhere. They were still trying to get enough people lined up for the defend spots when Teq arrived. The zerg was spread out over a large area and they promptly died at the start. I couldn’t even find the center of the zerg. Commanders telling people to melee while others were arguing that ranged was fine. Doing melee meant you died because the turrets couldn’t/didn’t protect you.

It was a mess.

^Kills teq 99.9999999999999% of the time. Also, if you’ve got more than 1 commander leading the zerg, you’ve got problems. There should only be 3, if more than 1 at all, 1 in the zerg, 1 for north hill defense, and 1 for south hill defense.

Ideally you’re going to be finding a fairly empty map, then bringing people in. Needless to say, if people are afking on the map where teq spawns or at the waypoint, you may end up failing.

Who said Teq isn’t possible with Megaservers?

Mindless zerker warriors that die all over the place and lay dead waiting for a rez?

(Grunt) Why for I die? I update all my stats with zeker runes (grunt)

Well. there is a higher chance of mega -mes… since its rather random what shard ppl land on. you can spend a lot of time trying to ferry player forth and back. you can theoreticaly end with all the servers commanders on 1 map.. you can have commander speaking in Spanish to french zerg. etc. but sure it should be possible.

My guild was able to do it with flawless defense the other day.

Glad to hear you had some good luck, but some of us get stuck in some really kittenty underpopulated rooms whenever we try so we can never complete it. It’s beyond annoying.

Unfortunately the Megaserver still runs into the same old problem that was plaguing TTS and the other mega-guilds set up to kill Teq/Wurm. You NEED to get in early, because Teq and the Wurm are still setup to require a minimum of a large amount of players to complete. If you arrive late, or just have the bad luck to get stuck in a server with people who don’t care or are uncoordinated, you will have 0 chance of killing the boss.

Then again, I’ve heard that Teq and the Wurm actually got nerfed in the Apr 15 patch so that it’s doable now by smaller groups of around 40 – 50 people. (Or 60’ish for the Wurm, with 20 – 25 people at each Wurm).

Nobody ever said that it will be impossible on Megaserver. What has been said is that it would become harder to organize. And it did. In EU Megaserver language barrier alone may mean a fail. To make it worse, even now a significant number of people are completely unaware there’s a language filter now turned on by default. Attempts where a third of the instance is not getting organized because they simply do not hear the rest are common. The succesful tries are mostly done the old way – arriving an hour earlier and making sure the instance is filled by friends and guildies.

It’s like getting a kill on an overflow before. It was known to happen. It definitely wasn’t something you could count on, or even hope for.
