If it is sellable it will be 1000 gold. You will have to do teq 100000 times to get a .001 chance of getting it. Save your gold!

Gamblers Fallacy, you could do Tequatl 10000000000 times, doesnt mean your chance is getting any better, the drop rate is individual…..

yes and no, yeah your chances of getting it don’t increase, but it is very unlikely that you wouldn’t get it after a while.

IE: if you flip a coin your chance of not getting tails once in a row is 50%, twice in a row is 25%, three times in a row is 12.5%, ect. however your chance of getting either tails or heads individually is always 50%.

so yeah, his chances of getting it don’t improve, but it is statistically unlikely he won’t after that many tries.

As far as I have heard it will be one of every weapon including Greatsword.

You guys do realize there are 4 classes that use Greatsword, and it is the most used weapon in the game? That is the reason there are more GS skins.

May be everything but gs, to put everything on par with twilight and sunrise. Just my thought.

Get some more 80s. Farm them on each toon!

But no, the amount hasn’t decreased.

In the update coming the 17th we get Tequatl Rising which gives us a reworked Tequatl fight, world bosses got stronger, the looking for group tool and some new stuff to wvwvw. A great update with needed changes and additions!

Now when there’s 4 teams working on one update each they have 8 weeks (2 months) to work on content to be released. I think the content in this update is a little bit weak, could have been more. Maybe there’s a reason for this or am i overestimating ArenaNet?

Taco the Sauceless!

Joke aside, nice post. I found his name impossible to pronounce until I heard his name instead of reading it. ^^

Hell, WoW has a fantastic LFG system and has done for years
(and yes that is the only thing I genuinely like about WoW)

And it only happened at the end of the 2nd expansion. I quit wow because of what the lfg did to the community, but thankfully gw2s isn’t an auto group finder / teleport into dungeons.

1) They have done a lot to fix performance issues with changes on graphical effects and culling.

2) Any new content is going to get jumped on by players. Anything short of an instance will cause this.

3) I get 16 fps standing alone in an empty field, on minimum graphics settings, and 3 fps in zerged events. I don’t complain. I still have fun. Try playing on my computer, then go back to yours and see that you are really making this more of an issue than it is. I’d love to have a minimum of 10-15 fps like you do. Quit complaining!

Anyone remember Lost Shores? lol.

There seems to be a serious disconnect between the content that Arenanet is releasing and the capabilities of the machines the average player is using to play GuildWars 2.

First of all, Gw2 is already a pretty demanding game. I have upgraded a few times and I still am only getting above average results while playing solo (35-60 fps). During large world events my computer sloooooows waaaaaay dooooown (10-15 fps). So if my computer is struggling I know this must be a pretty big problem for other people.

So this brings me to my big question…why on earth does anet keep releasing content that they know the average computer is going to struggle, sputter, and fumble through? So far there has been the zergs in the queens gauntlet, the zone raids of scarlett, and now the 80 man raid on Tequatl.

Is this supposed to be Anets answer to the raid? Because if it is I am rather uninterested. I may sound like a downer right now, but I am legitimately happy with them reworking this fight. But its not so much THIS fight that I have a problem with as much as the pattern as of late. It seems like Anet is making these zergy laggy world events the main bulk of content to experience and I am not that type of gamer. What do you guys think?

It’s not a bad idea, but I think a more practical idea would be for Anet to push the squad mechanic a lot harder than they have. Make the squads able to be larger than 30 people and add more functionality and people will eventually pick up on it.

It’s rare. You’ll also have to fly to the next pax in order to get one. :P

It seems to me dungeon tokens for exotics will be useless when Ascended Armor comes out (unless this is intended). Alternately, some of the dungeon skins are nice looking – so a way for players to upgrade existing dungeon exotics to ascended might be good (just theorycrafting).

it may be news to you, but the event fails if he isn’t killed in 15min. People will adapt

Yeah and you could fail the Clockwork Invasion if you didn’t kill Scarlet’s waves in 40-45 minutes but that didn’t stop folks from failing just as often as winning till the very end.

The problem with the Clockwork Invasion that caused so many failures was that people eventually stopped caring about killing Scarlet and just wanted to farm champions. Once the aetherblade waves spawned you could get 6-7 Champions easily each aetherblade spot. This meant that huge zergs formed on a couple events rather than several small groups going after events separately.

If Tequatl is the only real objective then hopefully people will contribute. If it’s only 15 minutes or less then certainly that’s not too much for people?

Currently the only way to get credit for Teq is to actually attack teq. Killing minions, bone walls and defending the cannons does not get you credit for the event, thus why everyone spams on teq and ignores the rest of the event.

If this is still the case after the changes then the event will never succeed because no one is going to do a job that gets them 0 credit.

will we get equal credit for killing minions as we do for damaging teq in this update or is it going to stay as spam teq or no rewards for you?

TY Anet for finally making something epic and cool.Queen Festiwal was meh.Im norn i dont care about Human princess birthday.

Keep making cool content!

The poster is great – looks like those classic posters for monster movies.

Extra bonus info: The highest chance of having a rare chance ascended weapon for you is on Tequatl’s daily bonus chest if you defeat him: game on.

1.Teq will be done on large servers. There isn’t a 4 pre-event requirement like for kakra, so people will all know when to show up.

2. Rewards are not rewarded upon winning, they are rewarded for every 25% successfully taken off of teq’s hp. Therefore you won’t have to win to get rewards so people will still do event.

3. There will be a bonus reward for succeeding the event, with a chance at unique skins and the mini. Seeing as it’s the first dragon mini people will do the event until they are blue in the face to get it.

-It will be on a dragon time not every hour.
- rewards aren’t given till the event is successfully done, that includes the monster drops.
- the devs cheated becuase they had 20-30 people doing a 80 persion mission.
if the rewards are as epic as they seem, people will come come to the events, and it means the commanders will have to actually live upto there titles now or they’ll get loads of agro.

I highly doubt it. They are probably just refined to be properly scaled and new mechanics. Nobody has time for all the bosses in the world if they take 15 minutes to complete.

One of the greatest posts on the forums

Are there that many timid souls afraid of losing 2s to repair their armor that they’d skip the event? “Risk of failure?”

Fractal dredges soon whine that they have too many ascended weapons and www players doing 300 ranks without getting anything. Basic gw2 stuff.

DPS comes in many forms. I have seen Necros with Rabid gear kill a host of mobs in the same time that it takes a Zerker warrior kill 1.

I am hoping that the TQ is going to be more like a raid situation in which it will be NECESSARY to have other builds in order to take him down. Somebody has to protect all these zerker single target killers while the dragon DoTs them to death.

I think coordination and tactics will win out in the end, not specific builds.
