Well of course the Jungle Dragon lives in the Maguuma Jungle, but the Maguuma Jungle (if you will look) is on the opposite side of the continent of the Wurms. Saying that the Wurms are part of Mordie (now, we don’t even know if Mordremoth is in fact the Jungle Dragon, we just know a name but never once has ANet referred to the “Jungle Dragon” as “Mordremoth” maybe Mordremoth is the name of a Dragon Champion, maybe Mordremoth is the name of the other Tree that Malyck came from, anyway, I digress….) But saying that the Wurms are part of Mordie is like saying that every single plant life and wurm in THE ENTIRETY OF TYRIA is part of Mordie….. People, you are just grasping for every little thing, look how desperate you are for Dragons? And then calm down and look at things rationally. Please
three pronged tail of dragon in image matchs 3 wurms that where added this can’t be denighted to where it is a reasonable argument of what could be.
After failing the marionette living story event, there’s that laser that kills everyone. I was leveling in the zone far from the event and I got killed by that. I was a bit more than miffed. Please change it to only those participating in the event.
it is leaving in 1 week most likely so why are u complaining…
After finishing Cobalt escort, the commander asked people to stay back, well away from the cobalt wurm spawn point and we only ran in after the wurm popped out of the ground. The burn went RIDICULOUSLY fast and it ended up dying —> failure. All my other attempts, people usually rush in and stand around the spot where the wurm pops up and the HP has seemed to be much higher to the point where the burns barely scratch the thing.
The thing about this is, it is not 100% that it will happen in these circumstances all the time. We’ve seen the scaling go up and down several times no matter what position people took on the map. We’ve had singular groups of 60 in the immediate area around the wurms and the scaling seems to be able to go up or down on whim.
Right now we go in and try to gauge what might happen (we think there may be a correlation to the level of the mobs in the event to determine if the scaling changes) and often test damage in the burn durations to see if it will be an overburn or a bulky scale.
The ability to kill wurm is random due to his scaling. Everyone at this time are using the same strategies. And % you can dps per burn phase all depends on the bosses scaling. So currently success is a random occurrence and this equals a very poor design. Anet mentioned fixing it with the next LS patch but what about all the hours we spend trying to figure out a glitched boss when we are fighting for first win. What does it say about the difficulty Desolation had to face to get poor rewards.
We never go in expecting the downscaled version to be in our favor. We’ve determined what type of damage A.net had in mind on the wurms during the vulnerable durations and do know that it is completely do-able with their vision (and have made it to phase 2 constantly) of how the event is supposed to proceed.
Is it nice when downscales? Yes, but it’s equal blessing and a curse and something we just have to work around for now.
As for the rewards? A lot of us are split on that. I think the loot tables are nice, but a large majority agree that the rewards are poor for the time and organization required for the event.
With wurms dps control is key so to have random dps fluctuations make it very hard to bring them down to 5% for final dps phase.

For the most part, behemoths are gone because we can’t go to any of the biomes that the behemoths lived in. Seared Ascalon is gone, so there’s no tar for the tar behemoths. They either went extinct or migrated away to a biome more suited to their kind. The desert and Ring of Fire are off-limits, so we can’t find those behemoths either, and most of the Maguuma that had root behemoths is the part of the Maguuma that we arbitrarily can’t reach anymore.
Dragons might have gotten them. They might be in high level Dragon maps.
I assume you’re gonna post some short story about her? I mean I’m surprised you just have her suddenly pops up outta nowhere during the Living World and (kinda) knows Braham without any back story. Cool that she rides on her golemn’s shoulder (It’d be even cooler and cuter if she rode on Braham’s).
When she was younger she probably did. She probly got into trouble and she probably cause Braham to get a concussion which is why he forgot her. Norn are know for their hard headedness after all.
The main issue with the Marionette is a spawn timer with 2 hours, combined with requirements that people execute the event. If Lliadri the Concealing Dark was on a 2 hour spawn window, the amount of people who actually would have been able to complete it would have been next to none. The bosses in the rings can one shot you. You can’t learn about what can one shot you without being one shot. Not only that, but you also need teamwork in many of them. A holo-deck mode, or practice, where people could Learn on something faster than a 2 hour window would help tremendously with this.
which is why you kite the out side edge and do range dps. 3rd boss or 4th boss?
For the OFs. So if u get pushed into an of the boss will spawn the same time you tried to join or enter the map to do him. This was first implemented on Teq. For bosses needing coordination accurate account for when he starts is very important. And Difficult bosses are most frequently complete in OFs.
Primortus will come from mount maelstrom Volcanoes are already easy paths to the surface which devours use. I think he is quite happy harnessing energy from the core of the planet
One compromise could be to have the charge advancement be based on the number of platforms that succeed. Meaning that if phase 2 gets 4/5 it will barely move, but if it gets 0/5 you get the current 25% jump.
^ This a great suggestion.
4 tries is pretty decent though means 80% failed also if you are shifting any more tries would probably result in failure. power level barly ticks for mobs you let through most of weight are on champ fights
If you don’t have a lane switching strategy you are doing it wrong. If you are flooding the rng so that u got 10 in each. Champ fight are weighted more then defense.
She is much easier then teq by the way. And mechanics for champs are in the bubles under there life totals no real excuses.
There is enough proof that 90% of the player base have not been ignored over the last year. Just click on the “releases” page on the main website.
Instead of keep saying that you have already explained your statement (which you haven’t) you could try and actually answer the question. or just admit that your statement was wrong?
The sad part is the “90% of the player base is being ignored” stuff creeps up no matter what Arenanet does.
Super Adventure Box, Halloween, Liadri anyone?
isn’t having a diverse player base such a great thing for Anet when they cator to one side the rest wine about no updates. there are 20+ face roll bosses the addiction of more doesn’t mean crap as content.
For one, every server has more then 125 people and can fill a map to attempt these bosses you ignoring this means that Anet is not ignoring any of there player base because they could all attempt the content.
Although wurm had and still has a lot of glitch from launch once removed he is probably no harder then teq. The current one is that his life randomizes between 1mil and 100milion which makes it random how much damage you do in a dps phase. This occurs even after you sever the heads.
Lastly # of hard boss = 2 number of easy bosses 30+ do the math who is really being ignored here.
If you only ever building and repairing Barricades you are really doing something wrong.
It would most likely require you to stand around doing nothing at times and clearly not helping with the most crucial part of the event (the chain parts).
IF you drop the hammer you are doing something wrong<-essential item for stacking mobs and dpsing them down which is necessary for completion
Oh and according to the other thread, it seems to be a scaling bug that’s causing the issues anyway. Boss health is getting 50x what it’s supposed to be randomly at certain times and apparently a dev in teamspeak said it’s going to be fixed within a week or two.
so expect it to be a lot easier to make it to phase 2 essentially and maybe even finish phase 2 too
I think it’s a pattern. The first time that becomes vulnerable you do less damage compared to the second time. And this is repeated.
Those where 2 different runs though both first burns. IF there is a pattern it is random or probably depends on the timer which I think even Anet wouldn’t impose on us for dificulty.
apparently there is scaling problems with the boss which is why the dps fluctuates so much apparently the total hp of the boss fluctuates between 60mil and 1mil which changes the amount of damage you have to finish and why dps during burn fluctuates so much.
apparently Anet said they would fix this next patch >.> in 1.5 weeks
source? link?
This was done illegally using a dps counter to monitor the boss hp through out the fight by some one I know. Not going to cite them because the will probably be banned. Anet in TeamSpeak apparently commented about it that it would be fixed next patch or something like that. But the dps rate drastically changing is noticed by everyone during event this just seams to be the root causes. Random boss scaling just don’t know if it is intentional or not on Anets side Wurms still seam to be killable but might have to be lucky.
This is all word of mouth though and speculation to a degree.
we would go from one burn killing him to only doing 25% damage to ember with the whole map zerg on it so there is definitely something there.

good question would be should we zerg to kill the heads in the last phase for the 2 near eachother and have those two groups work together as one zerg to kill both
I tried the method that TTS is using but for both amber and crimson, our DPS was terrible! It seems like it’s poorly scaled up to a point. We hardcapped the overflow and it didn’t help.
I watched the stream from merfoga or whatever you call his name, and it seemed like you guys didn’t even have a full overflow.
Cobalt however seemed easy to DPS down.
DPS are is bad because you cant target boss when you stack on boss so do mobs which is why the dps is so low. A lot of husks spawn cause of the way we do phase 1 scales it up which makes the latter burn phases harder. Cobolt we can and do kill all mobs
Hmm, I guess that makes sense on a boss like Crimson.
So for each boss, you must have the wurm targetted to guarantee hits? You can’t just stack on him and hope for the best?
yep better to target him before you go to burn. Also pearcing attacks with flaming greatsword help here

Problem with kiting the mobs is that they don’t stick to me. I wonder how many times i have seen a larva or husk come at me, i keep firing at them, then suddenly they spin right around and go after someone else off in the distance doing something completely unrelated.
If ANet want’s me to kite, they can darn well give me a taunt mechanic to apply for that purpose. Right now what seems to work for one mob do not work for another, in the same kitten event!
IF you want to kite them drop a heal skill in their vicinity
WoW devs NEVER tell ya how to beat their bosses. The best groups do then publish videos and guides. Too much complaining, these fights are amazing.
But WoW has a beta test for those bosses. Those raid groups do the content weeks ahead of the actual release. GW2 has no beta testing. The patch goes live and in two weeks it’s gone again.
Do you have proof that GW2 has absolutely no beta testing? I’ve seen videos of people testing the new WvW map and it’s not even out yet. Also, the wurm is permanent, it’s not leaving in 2 weeks.
Okay let me rephrase…..GW2 has no open beta testing. Blizzard holds open betas for WoW and even utilizes a public test realm for new content. GW2 does nothing of the sort.
Never compare Anet to Blizzards who sued them for no reason at all almost driving the company bank-robed to remove GW2 as competition. We missed out on 5 years worth of updates because of that think about that when you complain about content and compare it to WOW.
Why do wurms even have buffs on them when you cant damage them when they end? We tried to kill glitched wurm and couldn’t…which i think shows he was already dead…
Do I do report here are there no more support tickets?
TTS got it pritty close 2 dead and one appealing zero hp which glitched the last boss preventing a next phase from occurring. Which was interesting everyone going omg.
