Guild Wars 2

Well my experience was much different. I did it 4 times tonight; 2x on OF and 2x on TC.

The first OF we understood to evenly split up and got all 3 knights AND won the Scarlet fight as well. Finally, loot! The second fight in the OF too many people had gone to bed and we couldn’t get the green knight down in time.

Last two times were on TC and again, we got all 3 knights (and Scarlet as well ) since we had enough time since the event didn’t start prematurely). Our second time I think we only had a few seconds left on the clock for the knights. I had done this event 12 times previously and had not beat Scarlet once before tonight, so that is good.

Loot is MUCH better for knights (I mean, we get some!), 6 Deluxe Gear boxes and a core. Scarlet loot was plentiful (although nothing too fancy, but shards and a rare or two etc etc is good).

Once people understand the new mechanics, I think this will work better. If people get a knight done early, they can run over and help the remaining knights if they have slots left (that is what happened on all 3 winning attempts I was part of).

I do wish we could have a few boxes and cores sent to those that participated again and again and got nothing before this patch, but thank you, Anet!

Well…THAT would be OK, LOL

6 deluxe gear boxes is great plus a core, and you get them whether or not you do 1 or 3 knights, so this all works much better now.

For first time, my OF also got Scarlet.

Loving this event now; thank you Devs!!!!

Yesterday I didn’t have much time to play; but I did do the event once right when it was released and got loot from 3 knights including 1 core. After work and after the patch tried it 2 more times (6 knights) and no loot.

Today after the reset I’ve downed about 12 knights and NOT ONE PIECE OF LOOT. Nothing. Nada. Zero. I’ve done parties and solo, plenty of DPS, stand in the circles for the buffs, get full event credit, everything. Oh, and to add insult to injury, failed the Scarlet event 4 times. SO basically a HUGE amount of time spent with NOTHING to show for it.

If this is as the event is intended, I’m sadly done with it; I loved the escape from lion arch event and really wanted to fully complete this one as well, and I really wanted to craft that backpiece.

If this is a bug, please let us know ANet and please let us know when there might be a possible fix.

Thank you; I rarely post on the Forums but I’m just so disappointed and frustrated by this.

Well, for me, I used to go to WvW on GoM and try it….AND could never find many people to play with. Hard to learn that way. So I’d stay for a little while and then log off.

I thought about transferring to another server before the league began, but I really like the GoM community, so I decided to be loyal even if looked like WvW wasn’t going to be a big thing on GoM. Wow—was I and lots of other people ever wrong.

SO…for me, I can now log on and play with lots of people and finally learn WvW. It’s fun and I like it and I hope GoM can keep up the enthusiasm!

GoM actually took him down last night—I was stuck on overflow (my eternal condition). We tried on 2nd attempt and we got to 2nd laser phase.

We had some great commanders show up and many on TS BUT not enough DPS the second time

I would like an invite too!

Teq the Funless—-ha, I was already calling him this myself.

AND THIS:

>I think the biggest problem is that Teq is currently a bit too much of a good thing. Teq + Mobs? Great! Teq + Fingers? Great! Teq + Timer? Great? Teq + Timer + Mobs + Fingers + Contested Waypoint? Not so great.

Is exactly how I feel. At LEAST open up the Splintered Coast WP because when I get 1 shot and die and have to take forever to get back I am definitely NOT having fun.

And, I’m at level 80 with decent armor and a clue, so I shouldn’t get one shot like EVER. I never have in other MMOs I played and it isn’t fun to be one shot when you then have to come back from a far waypoint. Especially from those STUPID mines that you can’t even see…..

Well for me for getting all my armor damaged and not quitting like many others, I’d like some karma please. Or SOMETHING to make it worth my while to try knocking my head against the very annoying wall that is now Teq again and again.

Without this, I fear most of my extremely wonderful but not hardcore server will just give up and I’ll never have a chance to kill him.

And yes, I DO think the OP’s original loot increase idea is over the top, but I understand the frustration that makes the suggestion. However for me since I’ve tried Teq 6 times without my server getting him to 75% (although we were really close once) any increase in even 75% loot is hypothetical and not really going to encourage peeps on my server to keep trying when its so expensive and there are so many more rewarding things to do for PVE folk.

You know what happened on my server this morning? NO one was taking the turrets!! Too much pressure or ignorance, I don’t know but after watching one sit idle for like 15 seconds I grabbed it myself and trust me, I can’t hit the side of a barn and I’m the last person you want on a turret.

Good thing I had read the forums and knew what to do though; not that it helped because I didn’t have any defenders so within a minute I died and my turret went down.

Sigh.

You know what it needs? Good rewards for sticking with the darn fight for 15 minutes! My server was way worse than yesterday this morning, and I can’t blame them. I stuck with it for 15 minutes (many people DID NOT so our turrets kept going down) although I could see we weren’t even going to get to 75% and what did I get for my troubles? ALL my armor damaged and absolutely NO REWARD. This is terrible as designed.

Put rewards (even just a good amount of karma would help) in for just DOING the darn event to completion, and THEN we’ll see people not giving up out of frustration. I’ve done this event 6 times now, and I’m close to giving up myself. Very frustrated.

Good idea, Essence Snow! That would certainly help us learn the fight without having to sit around all day for 15 minute increments of fighting.

1 green and 2500 karma and that’s it???? Not terribly encouraging.

So, I’ve done this on my server (Gate of Madness) 3 times.

We’ve gotten better each time but still haven’t cracked 75% HP.

The timer is WAY too short—I think at least 20 minutes, preferably 30 minutes would help especially in the first few weeks.

It is very disappointing to have done this 3 time and not gotten any loot at all.

I’m mostly an open world PVE player, I don’t mind a bit of difficulty or a long fight, but the 15 minute timer on this one especially after waiting for 1.5 hours to try/practice again is extremely frustrating.

i hate jumping puzzles too. Sigh.

Noooo!!!! Please make the super shiny bauble boxes come back. I really enjoyed them…and I sort of need them so I can buy some bombs and continues and the like in the SAB.

And I literally watched them blink off the map this morning….hope it is just a glitch and they come back.

>They were there one minute and gone the next, like someone pulled the plug on them.

Yes, this…I was literally looking at the map when they ALL disappeared at the same time.

Which is very upsetting; I was really enjoying getting extra baubles while out in the open world; I really need them to supplement my terrible 8 bit jumping/playing! Hope these come back.
