The only problem with the Marionette is that uneven amounts of players spawn into the pods! I was fighting it just 10 mins ago, and the thing spawned us with 6 people in 4 pods, and 2 in one! And I am not the ONLY person that finds this really annoying! It completely ruins peoples chances of winning against the kitten thing! And adding an NPC in the thing, like Rox or Kasmeer, doesn’t help because the NPC’s are, in fact, useless.

like I said, I am not the only one that feels like this. People -do not- like Living World content that they cannot complete.

Instead of filling each pod up with 6 people, have it fill up to 4, or 5. That way the people are all spaced out evenly. And even though I recommend it, its not needed: Try lowering the HP of the kitten things, so that they are suitable for 3-4 people to fight them, not 5+.

Or another idea, have the Wardens power, HP, defense, and AI scale off of the number of players IN THE POD. Or maybe, when one team destroys the generator to their pod, let them help the pods next to them.

So, Anet, listen to the feedback of your players here. This content is neither fun nor engaging when the only way you can win is pure luck-of-the-draw.

I’ve had the same issue, it sucks but its only happened once. I don’t know why they split us unevenly sometimes. Hopefully that will be fixed! The event is made to draw a lot of players to be able to complete it so ill doubt they will make it scale. They just need to figure out why it does that and fix it. I’m sure they will soon.

From part one, where you say all five lanes must succeed, is not quite accurate. All five parts of Phase 2 must succeed, but if one lane fails, that part of phase 2 passes to the next lane. So lanes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 1 can succeed, 4 having failed.

Brilliant guide though, I hope lots of folks read it.

Very true! Thank you! I will be sure to add that in!

Would it work to have 5 defend the gate and 10 kill the champs I each lane, then split the rest between 2 float teams? Float 1 starts at lane 1 then shifts to 3 after their chain is severed, then on to 5, Float 2, start at 2 then 4. 2 would go back to 1 if it happens to fail and so on. So with a hard capped map aprox 125-150 players right? 15 in each lane makes 75. So two teams of 25-35ish floating. Everyone in the lane would go which would put phase 2 with 40-50 so 8-10 on each champ. Maybe making them easier to go down.

Just a thought.

That all depends on the builds/skill of the players. I’ve had 10 people in each lane in overflow, 2 people by gate, 8 buy spawn portal and we severed 3 chains. We had a hell of a time defending though.I know you said 15 people,with the extra 25 people total floating around it seems highly possible but i couldn’t say for sure.It really depends on the players.

PHASE 2- Arena style fight. It’s the more difficult of the two phases. Your lane will get the chance to enter phase two in sequential order(i.e. Lane 1 first, Lane 5 last). Once its your lanes turn a 30 second timer will begin, ones times up the gate/portal will turn green then you may enter. Mobs will despawn so ignore them. Once the timer is at 5 seconds everyone should be at gate. Don’t let any champions in while you are waiting for the timer to end,they do count against you!

Arena Explained- Your lane will be split up into 5 separate groups in a circular arena.Since your lane should have 20-25 people that allows for 4-5 people in each arena which is also highly recommended. You will have 2 minutes to complete you objective(Its starts immediately after the 30 second timer).You are to kill your champion and once it is dead destroy the power node. There are 5 different champions.Each champion has different tactics to fight which i will explain later.Each lane will fight they’re own version of the champion, if the lane fails the champion will carry over to next lane. Always communicate and inform the next lane which champion they are up against if you fail.

Champions Explained-

Twisted Marionette will do special attacks defined by the champion you are fighting.ALWAYS avoid her attacks as they do high damage. They will show AoE markers and most attacks will always be in the same spot!

Champion 1- This champion can only be damaged from behind and summons twisted reavers. There will be a marker on the floor pointing which direction it is facing. This is easy as whoever he is after to just kite/evade him while others take him down from behind. Twisted Marionette will use a stomp attack.

Champion 2- This champion is a typical kiting fight. It will do a spinning attack which will knockback and do high damage.It is invulnerable while spinning to damage and conditions.While it is spinning it will drop mines which you have to kite it into to stun him, its vulnerability will drop for approx. 7-10 seconds which then your group should DPS him like crazy! Twisted marionette will do a high kick attack.

Champion 3- This champion is a evasion fight as it will drop bombs which you have to be quick to evade, the bombs can 1 shot a player. Twisted Marionette will use a lightning attack which will add more AoE for you to dodge. Beware its stomp attack.Vigor will help!

Champion 4- This champion is a confusion fight. It will shriek which you should evade. If you get hit by shriek stop attacking ( beware auto attack) and wait for confusion to clear. Confusion will burn you down! It also shoots homing missles which should be evaded when possible, shriek is priority evade though. Twisted Marionette will use a sword attack.

Champion 5- This champion is a DPS race. It splits into two of itself when killed,it will split multiple times. It is best to ball them up and AoE them down quick. Twisted Marionette will use a scream attack.

Phase 2 Conclusion- All 5 groups must kill their champion and destroy power node to sever the chain. Assuming that not one mobs makes it through gate in phase 1 you are allowed 5 failed attempts to sever the chain. From personal experience it is typically around 3 allowed failures. If the lane before you fails you will face its champion. Keep track of which champion you are on. Once you exit phase 2 you will have a 6 minute debuff blocking you from entering another portal. Each lane takes approx. 3 minutes which means you can enter a portal that is two lanes infornt of you to help out(i.e. Land 1 can enter Lane 4). You still must defend the portal after you have exited Phase 2.

TIPS & TRICKS-
- People from 2 lanes previous can go 2 lanes forward and help with Phase 2.This way sickness will be up to enter your own lane.(i.e. Lane 4 can help Lane 1 and the debuff will be gone in time to enter their own portal)

-Elementalists Ice Bow is great for this

-Slot a revive skill to revive a downed ally in Phase 2 safely.

-High DPS build is reccomended

-Do not completly ditch survivability for DPS-

-If a mob makes it to gate in phase one you still have approx. 3-5 seconds to kill it before it enters

-Lower graphics settings to help/prevent lag

-Pay attention to chat!!

-If pre event stacking on a commander in your lane allows them to easily keep track of how many are each lane

- Dont be stubborn, go to lanes if the need people

- When assisting other lanes be sure to not abandon your own lane.No more than 5 should leave

-Before you enter Phase 2 stack might.WvW’ers should know exactly how to do this!

I will periodically update this guide.Any problems or new information please let me know.Trying to get this out quick,please inform me of any errors!!I will do my best to answer any questions!

INTRO- This guide will explain everything you need to know about the Twisted Marionette boss fight.It will explain when,where, and how in a detailed but brief explanation.In short, no more mindless people running around asking commanders what to do every two seconds!!(Crowd Roars)

Will have to split this up

WHERE- Shiverpeak Mountains in Lornar’s Pass.Closest waypoint is False River Waypoint. East of False River Waypoint theres is a half circle structure(use map) with 5 paths.Paths are numbered from south to north 1-5(clockwise)

WHEN- Every 2 hours(top of the hour) alternating with The Great Jungle Wurm.When the top of the hour hits the 5 minute countdown begins before event starts.

-Every even hour Cental Time US & Canada(UTC-06:00)

BASIC RUNDOWN- Your goal is to sever all 5 chains of the Twisted Marionette.There should be around 20-25 players in each path, a commander in each is recommended.There are 2 phases for this boss fight.Phase 1 is tower defense style fight, phase two is arena style fight.Each group will enter phase 2 sequentially.Once inside they will be split into 5 groups to fight champion mobs and destroy a power node. Must be done within set time limit or whole lane fails.Once success/failure is reached go back to phase 1. All 5 lanes must succeed to win event.

PHASE 1- This fight is a tower defense type fight. There is a red gate/portal that you will have to defend from trash,champion, and veteran mobs. Mobs that get through power the Aethercannon.(Fully powered Aethercannon=INSTANT FAIL)

Siege-There will be siege weapons placed in your lane(i.e. arrow cart, golem,barricades).USE THEM!!!! There will also be a box of repair hammers to repair your damaged/broken siege. Siege CAN be destroyed. You CANNOT use you own siege blueprints.The only siege that can be replaced once destroyed are barricades,so its recommenced to keep your siege at high health. Designating a player to repair is extremely useful to help keep your siege going.Of course protect them from mobs.
-Arrow carts are used to cripple and damage mobs
– Barricades are used to create chokepoints to AoE mobs down quick
– Golems are useful for high damage and great against harder mobs
Siege Golem HP is equal to player HP,when low on health players can exit golem, heal, and re-enter to keep golem alive. Players can also give them golem to another player with good health, which will keep the golem from being destoryed

Tactics- There should be around 4-5 people by gate defending, the rest of the group should be towards entrance to lane(Towards False River Waypoint) defending since most champions and twisted will spawn there. Twisted mobs are priority,they are the only mobs that try to enter the gate.If a twisted mob spans stop what your doing and take it out. They will go invulnerable to conditions after they begin sprinting(You can use whatever you like before that),but it will not purge their current conditions.STACK THE HELL OUT OF CHILL/CRIPPLE!!!IT WILL CARRY OVER AFTER IT GOES INVULNERABLE!!! Between using your siege, and divided groups this should be a fairly easy. Just be sure that twisted mobs are priority. Always call target on twisted champions, helps to be sure everyone is focusing on him,they are fast once they sprint towards gate. Every mob that makes it through gate powers the Aethercannon a little at a time!

-Remember fully powered Aethercannon=INSTANT FAIL-

Hi,so I’ve been playing guild wars on my laptop for about a year and have always gotten 25-30 fps.In the last month I’ve had constant fps drops , it’ll go from 25-30 to 5-7 and the back up,no matter where I am, or what I’m doing, I have the graphics on lowest and it doesn’t make a difference.Ive done everything I can think of(defrag,disk clean up, clean registry,delete browsing history,check for viruses, repair game, clear cache, update drivers, putting gw2 process on high priority) and it doesn’t make difference.I don’t have a high end cp but have always gotten a steady 25-30 fps with lowest graphics settings because I’ve honestly never cared to turn them up.This is getting annoying and it’s unplayable to drop that low so frequently.Any ideas on how to fix this? Please I’d love to play again.
