Bugged tequatl laser
I’ve seen that happen before too, but just because the laser/battery event failed it doesn’t mean that you’ve failed Teq if folks stay and DPS him down. The time I saw this happen the first group that spawned killed the laser in less than 10 seconds before we were able to get there. We all respawned and DPSed Teq down and won despite that.

Until Khani mentioned it, I forgot I’d see the laser go down like this. As I recall, there were leftover mobs + new spawns + too many people in the event-scaling radius and not enough where the mobs were. The result was a perfect storm, which made it seem as if the laser went down instantly (and instead it was just very very quick).
In our case, the map was already dispirited, with too many nattering nabobs of negativity claiming the overall event would fail and people literally started mapping out instead of trying to “win” despite our bad luck.
Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing happened in the OP’s instance. It just provides a likely alternative.
Could be that… personally i wasnt there, but everyone said it was bugged in the map chat, so i assumed it was a bug
…then the vigil megaleser went 100-0 in a second… and the whole event failed…
Elite and Champion Boomers are probably the case, since they’re the only Risen from the mob that can quickly blow a large dent on the Megalaser, especially if they spawn and run just as the phase changes. It’s usually the result of no one watching and aggroing the spawn areas during the burn phase.
Before, it was the Veteran Risen Abomination that can instant-kill the Megalaser by charging while stacking Frenzy effect. They were demoted to normal rank to fix that issue.

With enough scaling, even a normal risen abomination can put a huge dent in the megalaser if it’s not killed fast enough.
