Guild Wars 2

I did mega boss event in caldeon forest, and wasn’t able to target the giant wurm.

There was more than 70 people there so the only thing I can think of to not target him was due to culling.

Also did meteor shower on him and had no dmg.

Pretty messed up that I have to wait another 2 hours for this, which I wont.

It’s a known issue. See: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Giant-Jungle-Worm/first#post1727965

You don’t have to wait 2 hours. Just guest to another world which either has the event active or the event is close by.

I had this happen once, but there were really heaps of people.. after that we (and other people) just write in chat that everyone PLEASE shall wait until the worm is attackable and showing its life bar. And on our world that seems to work quite fine. :-)

I don’t know what server you are on but on mine asking a group not to kill it is a sure fire way to guarantee you don’t get the credit.

It’s a german one, medium populated.
And after a huge amount of people (if not all) didn’t get the rewards, we are quite caring to do the best to prevent that.
BUT it might be that the time when I am online makes a difference, because then it is eight o’clock in the morning in Germany and usually not that many players online to kill him before he is attackable (and has a life bar).

The current wurm has three phases (not AI, but those you’re talking about).

• 1: coming out from earth, event not triggered yet, attackable by aoe
• 2: event triggered, attackable by aoe
• 3: targetable, attackable by aoe and single target skills

If you manage to kill the wurm in the first phase, noone gets anything. No boss chest, no daily chest. ANet said to fix this with the next bigger patch.
If you manage to kill the wurm in the second phase everyone who did enough damage, gets the credits for it. It’s important to deal aoe damage by either ground targeted spells (, point blank spells) or melee. We do not know, if ANet will prevent this kill, too.

ANet also said they’ll be looking at the scaling caps. Currently the starter area bosses (Wurm, FireEle, Maw and Shadow) hit the cap too soon and being outnumbered easily. We’ll have to wait this week for changes.

Do not use AoE on the wurm. Your meteorshower was the reason you and others missed the chest (well and a lot of other AoE’s).

This will very likely be fixed in the next contentupdate (as geekfox pointed out).

During his spawning animation he can ben killed by an overdose of AoE. So it looks like that with your meteorshower you made everyone around miss the reward.

For every bossfight it is important to first get a tag with a ranged skill (number one skill is the best for this imo). You got a tagwhem you see white numbers on your screen.
After you got a tag put as much damage on him as you want. but those white numbers areconfirmation you will get your reward.
