Guild Wars 2

sigh

Veteran Abominations still spawn around the Megalaser. They still target it and charge it nuking its health from %100 to %10 in 2 seconds.

I spend alot of time trying to organize Tequatl kills on my server (Desolation) on an almost daily basis and sometimes multiple times per day.

I have a pre-made chat-macro I use to /w a Warrior on the map to guard the Megalaser from abomination spawns. “Please stand here {I show the warrior where the Aboms] spawn, and watch for Veteran Risen Abominations. Kill them as fast as possible or they will charge and kill the Megalaser during the Defence Phase of the event.”

Sometimes (as in tonight) this doesn’t work as the warrior either DC’s, forgets, misses the abomination or gets caught up fighting something else. It is sad I even have to make this ‘task’ an official part of my kill setup these days.

Yes, this is a rage/frustration filled bug-report.

I don’t believe this is a bug – the A-bombs are a spawn that are part of the event, but random, like the Champ Grubs.

On SBI, we plan for this and have a dedicated team of 5 people whose job it is during the fight to patrol the MegaLazer area and clear any spawns, including A-Bombs and Bloated Creepers. Since we began this, we have a pretty much 100% success rate.

If not a bug then it is certainly an event balance issue. I accept the Champion Grub because players have time to see it, call it out and focus it down before it becomes a real problem. The A-Bombs though just need to spawn, target and charge the laser once and its gameover. Also bear in mind they can spawn during the stun/burn phase when %98 of players on the map are standing at Tequatl. Even if you ask 3-4 people on the map to specifically watch the area, chances are they will just go burn Teq anyway and A-Bombs will be free to wreak havoc as soon as Teq phases to the Defence Stage.

I like that you guys call them “A-Bombs” its a fitting term for them:D Because they literally ‘nuke’ the laser. I’ll start using it on my server.
