Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if people had any hints for not getting stuck on the overflow map for Tequatl- I’ve gotten it several times in a row and with only a small group of people it’s impossible- the event doesn’t scale. I’ve tried showing up early, stationing a character out there, etc. It’s a waste of time since the event is every 4 hours.

Try using the LFG system at tequatl time there usually are maps with commanders taxiing people in to get those maps full.
Besides that the only way is to map in and out and hope you get into a differen tmaps with some people on it.

As a side note, there are no overflow maps for a year now since the megaservers system was implemented, just different instances.

Thanks, the LFG worked. On my server people advertised many groups as “Teq taxi” to let people zone into the larger group instance- very helpful.

What do you mean by an “overflow map” for Tequatl? I’ve never seen one, unless you show up 2 minutes before the scheduled start time (or after it starts). Heck, I’ve managed to get into a successful map even then a time or two (although that’s unusual).

I find showing up 30-40 minutes early tends to attract people who really want to organize (although there are inevitably people who leave a turret or defense team due to RL or whatever). Even 20 minutes before sometimes gets some …let’s say over-achievement-oriented folk giving instructions in gory detail.

tl;dr show up 20-40 minutes early if you seem to be getting in unsuccessful instances. LFG is also a good suggestion.

Even 15 minutes beforehand is sufficient. However it’s not a bad idea to be someone who starts up one of the defense groups as it’s possible that some won’t fill without someone being proactive (South hills especially for some reason).
