Guild Wars 2

Greetings everyone!

In summary I just wanted to report that I can confirm that Tequatl can still bug out if you burn him hard enough after the battery defence phase during his “Stunned phase”.

Last night my organised group got the first battery defence and first stunned burn phase done without issue. Then we hit our 2nd battery defence, did that then ran back to the beach and waited for Tequatl to get shot down by the mega laser and we hit our 2nd “Stunned burn phase” where tequatl is stunned by said mega laser and you can dps him quite hard.

The bug occurred here when we did a bit too well on our dps. We burned him past his 25% remaining HP BEFORE he came out of his stun. IF you do this currently and hit the next phase BEFORE tequatl comes out of stun Tequatl bugges out and dissapears and does not trigger the next battery defence phase. This has been reported a few months ago and it looks like the bug still exsists. His HP bar is still visable and you can still damage the hp bar with AOE on the beach but nothing else. Shortly after a bone wall triggered with tequatl still missing. For those unfamiliar with tequatl at intervals of every 25% of his hp bar Tequatl flys away and you must then defend the mega laser and its power sources in order to shoot tequatl down again.

This bug ultimately can lead to failing the event when you would otherwise have succeeded and if by some fluke you do succeed as we did on this run you end up with one less dragon chest as you missed a defence phase.

anet pls fix it, this bug has been around for way too long ¬.¬

its not easy to do less than 25% dps in 1 stun. even with commanders on TS yelling “stop dps, stop dps”, some nutters won’t stop and will trigger the bug -> gg, 1 or 2 chests gone.

…did that then ran back to the beach and waited for Tequatl to get shot down by the mega laser…

Except the megalaser doesn’t fire at Tequatl after the battery events. This is also a bug.

Ghostly teq kills are fun, and i don’t see how you could fail it. Knock his health to 75%, 1st burn phase to 50%, then you have to dps to 25% with no burn phase, just like the initial 25%, except he doesnt fight back. Then the final 25% the timer stops, so you have plenty of time to burn the final 25% just like you did for 50% → 25%. It adds spice to the dull fight that is tequatl.

When you have too many pugs… sorry… “other players” on the map it can be catastrophic, especially if it would have been an close kill in the first place without the bug or when they don´t grasp the fact that they can still dps.
Yes, something like that can acutally happen, taking them 8 minutes to get to first burnphase and then all of a sudden too much dps.
It also depends heavily on the burnphase itself, which one it is.
Plus the missing loot sucks, bad enough that the loot is already bad in comparison to the time spend.

For those interested, the bug was first encountered during the first LA event update.
Don´t really understand how they managed to brake Tequatl while adding totally unrelated content on another map and still did not managed to fix it.
