Guild Wars 2

Firstly, I am against any kind of nerf to the Teq event. I think the difficulty is perfect for a server event. Players are supposed to fail initially. They need to improve before they can win.

However I find Teq’s spawn rate way too slow. When it is so slow, players will often log off or change servers. The experiences that the players got from the the last trial didn’t get carry toward the next trial, because most players are gone.

Can we please speed it up? IMO Teq should spawn 48 times a day. That’s twice per hour. Limit the Teq rewards to once per day, so it cannot be abused. (This will also help remove the overcrowding problem in servers like TC and BG. As soon as the original players get the reward, hopefully they will leave and other new players can get to try it. This is better than waiting in overflow where failure is almost 100%.)

For example:

00:00 Teq spawns.
00:15 Event ends.
00:30 Teq spawns.
00:45 Event ends.
01:00 Teq spawns.
01:15 Event Ends.

Waiting for Teq to respawn is not fun and is not difficult. Let players try it more often until they get it right. Do not nerf the event.

He is one of the three dragon encounters in a dragon-themed game. He should be a rare and difficult fight. I am also eager to fight him more often because the new mechanics are great but I understand that he will quickly lose his appeal if he spawns too much.

Teq should respawn faster after a failure, something like 15-30 min. after players succeed the event, then the respawn reset at normal rate

I understand you guys want to keep trying, but it’s already spawning at an increased rate Vs. normal…

Good point. But just for Boss Week, I think he should spawn faster than normal, just to move the players along if nothing else.

TC and BG both have 9 hour long queues.

My prediction is that by the end of this weekend he will be killed reliably by a lot more servers.

Bump bump bump. ^^
