Guild Wars 2

I which they didn’t make epic encounters only as temporary content. Like the ancient Karka and Marionette.

Issue is wurm will spawn tones of mobs during and absent zerg so might be very difficult to get last burn in. all 3 have to be done at same time and all 3 have different mechanic and different amount of time to set up. Sounds like a good plan though

doesn’t work all wurms need to die withing 1min of eachother

Wurms mechanisms are to stack on people they argo this means they will stack on boss if you stack on boss and if you use aoe damage it is not hitting the boss it is most likely hitting the adds.

This cause a significant present loss when fighting the boss

It also would go with Anet theme death to zerging and stacking

and point of this wasn’t dps of fgs but not stacking wurm during burn phase

Because of adds if everyone stacks on wurm during burn not of dps gets through to the boss. It might be better to range the boss during burn. Because elemental weapons do highest damage and fiery greatsword pierces to the boss having a large amount of eles in the 50% zerg will significantly increase your damage.

Most groups who actually want to kill him want overflows so yes thank you Anet for them

Jennah saved an elder dragon from being killed so of course she is evil….

No one can deny this fact

Agreed

The challenge is in the coordination, not the gameplay. If I could pick whom I did the encounter with, it would be amazing. But since I have to do it with random people who choose not to participate, it’s poor.

I would love 20-30 man instances for guilds

guild missions

considering that all the bosses are almost being defeated on the first day of release I think invalidates most of your arguments. Although it is true, when people stop doing him and TTS can fill of with its members the bosses will probably get killed more easily. I don’t see how you can question the format based on the quality of your pc especially with pc prices dropping significantly 50% recently.

Wurm is same time as teq though I hope they change that

ha it is a weekly chest so ya it is probly worth the difficulty much more then teq is

ment to be done once a week

I want to know what is in the weekly reward chest for wurm. Should be teq x7 is what I expect but probly wont get.

we killed cobolt and
crimson 75%
amber 75%

Isn’t there no green worm but a blue one? Cobolt is blue right?

considering all LS content→instances are coming back as fractals do we really need more ?

Blaeys.3102:

I think everyone is making pretty decent points.

The reality is this fight simply isn’t fun or challenging on many servers because the population of this game is weighted onto a very small number of servers – due to a lot of different factors. The smaller servers are struggling and, unfortunately, fights like this suffer for it.

There is no perfect solution – either populations are addressed, the fight is altered (and future fights take smaller numbers into account) or things are left the same and the people out of luck remain simply out of luck. Im not willing to accept the third alternative without saying something, thus the noise in this thread about it.

I want to point out they said teq is “evolving” so i expect him to get harder in the future with more phases + more rewards. It also supposedly has its own living story arch to it. Mostly speculation from the teq update though.

Considering nothing new is discussed here that hasn’t been already said. And commented on by Anet them selves is this really constructive. You are speaking as if you know every npc character in the game by the fact you are stating we had to know scarlet orgins before she strikes obviously the villain would hide here plans and motivations…

As if every person in a town knows each other and exactly what each other are thinking (i knows there are some in Alaska)

Most players probably skip 95% of the lore missing the ambient conversations although many are trying to map them.

I am not stating that we have to know her orgins and motives prior to discovering that she is a villain, merely that there has to be some form of plot build up, she can’t simply come out of nowhere without any evidence of her existance, and claim that she is responsible for everything. Also, I have stated new ideas on this thread that have not been made elsewhere, such as ways in which she could have emerged into the story prior to her reveal as the enemy. Am I saying my way is the best way to do it? By no means; I came up with it in five seconds, and I’m an enexperienced novice working on my own, compaired to a team of three hundred perfessionals working in close nit groups. Yet even so, at least I came up with something pliable.

It was pretty funny when you asked the pale tree who scarlet is and she said I don’t know though. Was fixed with an update though

update is today so soon

A good question though is why are they still using wooden ships when eles can chuck fireballs and summon elementals and set the sea on fire. The zephyrite ship especially you would think all those sales would make it very flammable(the crash to earth wouldn’t help it either). Glits remains should be sufficient for aitherblade with flying ships to strike.

So the two people in your group arn’t don swiftness and condition removal for the other 3. your squad must be lazy.

Please every server has enough people to do teq they just don’t have enough people that want to do him. There is a difference.

Overflow system allows everyone to have access to a full sever for a teq kill

To what people don’t know teq is not hard to kill his mechanisms are now well know and there is a proven strategy to kill him.

If you don’t have enough in your guild get 5 guilds together and get him done.

TTS is the culmination of over 1k guilds every member is probly from a different guild who all truely want to kill him so if you arn’t even going to try to gather a zerg or put effort to get him >.> well don’t expect the same level or % of success. TTS kills him 4+ times a day usually

Not to mention in game events section of forum servers list days they are going to try to kill teq. Blackgate probably hates me for saying this but it is a guaranteed full Overflow of people trying to do teq. Just cause you got a full map though doesn’t mean you can do him simply because randoms don’t listen to commander and go afk on turrets this will always be an issue without a completely controlled of. Teq is currently being killed only using 50% of the time given. He isn’t a boss you can just join to do there is a difference between being skilled as a player. being skilled as a squad. And being skilled as a Zerg.

And bosses should require diffident skill sets at these levels/currently they are all the same stack and kill. Teq is the first introduction to some variety.

Every server has the capability they just don’t have the motivation which is something you got to fix your self. Every server has a different distribution of players and you chose the server you play in so that needs to be taken into consideration too. If you want rakings of best pve servers they kinda fallow wvw rankings to an extent if you in top 50% you probly have no problems but if you are in botten 50% you might find content hard to complete.

But there is absolutely no reason you cant make and ingame event and complete it on your server. I’m sure alot of people would guest to your server to get it done.

Well put right there. Every server has the man power to do it, it’s just the willingness of that manpower that counts.

When Teq first launched you had servers fighting to be #1. People were up in arms that there were Overflows and people guesting. Now that the strategy is out there though, the battle is only being fought by people who really want to fight it.

For example, I’m on Fort Aspenwood, a fairly high pop server. Are there people who do Teq daily though? Nope. I’ve shown up to many Teq battles where the area was dead and Teq just destroys the place. I joined TTS and it’s a whole new world. (don’t do it!) I completed Teq 4 times over the weekend with TTS and it was so fast and efficient it wasn’t even funny.

So.. long story short.. Get people to do these type of events and it’s not hard and can be fun. If people choose not to though, what is there to do?

I personally think it’s amazing that guilds devote themselves just to one boss encounter.

I still think it is possible to gather multiple servers though and do it on a particular day and time though outside of TTS using the forums and announcing an event. Issue it think people are making that they shouldn’t spend the time gathering people inorder to do teq. That he should be doable with one squad of 5. Which i think for some bosses shouldn’t be the case. I also think that if you are going to scale all bosses then the rewards u get should scale with the bosses.

Please every server has enough people to do teq they just don’t have enough people that want to do him. There is a difference.

Artillery from a distance. Large targets no reason to stack. Why not approach it from the air seems to have no anti air defenses.

How to use modern warfare in a fantasy environment

If they scale the rewards with the boss scaling too then I wouldn’t care if they did that. It would help you get your achievements and we won’t complaints of high rewards for easy difficulty. But point is to be not to lower the bar so all can succeed. Not all world boss should have the same difficulty. They should range from the easy to the impossible for certain size groups. Considering we have 20+ easy bosses small groups can do and only have 1 hard boss a few of the newer bosses should also be hard to balance this out.

If you bring fire elemental powders to the fight you are helping significantly to the success of the boss if you don’t you are just a pug coming along for completion. Teq fight has nothing to do with individual skills. And for the last time you do a champ train while u are waiting for teq so no time wasted and extra rewards.

Watchknights, killing 10000 humans for every 1 human it protects. Great success!

That’s why Queen Jeenah should abdicate her throne. Her “gift to humanity” failed big time. She cannot run this nation.

She may have better luck as a mesmer fighting for the Pact.

An evil psycho maniac stealing your creation doesn’t make YOU a bad ruler… You seem to be implying that had someone else been ruling then they would have been able to stop Scarlet, but that isn’t likely to be the case.

Her gift to humanity did not fail, she has created a really effective protector, it’s just unfortunately been hijacked – but that doesn’t mean that once Scarlet has been dealt with the Watchknights can’t be put to their planned use.

And in fact her actions and the actions of those she keeps around her in RESPONSE to Scarlets actions prove that she is a more than capable leader.

It would be funny if the crowned pavilion comes back permently after scarlet is dead. That should be one reason we want to kill her

All you need is for everyone in zerg to have elemental powders and have 4 squads 2 on each turrets anymore then 3 they are undefendable from champ spawns. That is the only requirement to defeat teq.

So the only reasone teq fails is because:
Idots stack on turrets waypoint right next to one turret group
people don’t know when to use what turret skill
low %elemental powder
zerg doesn’t fallow commander
people don’t know how to defend batteries

None of these are particularly hard to accomplish. Every server has more then 200 people so population complaints don’t really work. Anyway GW2 needs a variety of bosses that scale from very easy to very hard in my opinion so that players can gage there skills to some extent. Currently all world bosses are jokes non of which are particularly hard just requires right set up. We do not need more easy content enough of it already exists in game.

I feel like timer is a joke mechanic also that instead there should be an epic whip mechanic with animation. The boss left cause it killed everyone.

Scaling should not be done. Bosses do not get weaker or stronger depending on # of people the fight them. A Dragon bites you in half does it hurt less because you are with 9 other people instead of

The progression of gw2 to a more realistic and new boss combat system and mechanics I support.

What I really want to see is bosses having multiple attack patters which are chosen at random so that they become unpredictable and more interesting to fight.

Netko.9271:

Hope it will be little harder than Tequatl, he was killed only few hours after they put him in game, now people kill him naked without armor or just zerg him without using cannon.

you must mean verson 1 verson 2 it took 1 week servers where fighting to be the first till Black gate got first kill. Congrats. In most servers zergs wouldn’t listen to commanders or get fire elemental powders which is why they usually fail.

150k to dredge boss in fractals

Name.9625:

What is needed for such big group events is that they address the issue with guesting. IMO accounts that have a server as their homeworld should be prioritized and because of that should be favored instead of guested accounts. I think this would solve quite a lot of whining about the overflow issue and would possibly lead to the less populated worlds doing that kind of stuff as well. In this case people couldn´t take up your slots anymore, couldn´t “steal” your loot and would be forced to organise their own community on their homeserver

first come first served get in line

the next alliance Mecanical

moiraine.2753:

• One thing is certain.Anet just doesn’t want to make…cough,cough…wait for it…instanced bosses.It doesn’t matter that the Tequatl fight coppies exactly step by step how a raid boss works.He is difficult enough with good mechanics.He has enrage timer.

• What Anet forgot is that he is like a raid encounter so it’s needed a lot of coordination.It’s hard enough to get 80 people but on top of that they must have enough dmg to down him.
  The whole fight favours the Zerkers.
  In my opinion the entire PvE favours glass canons but that is another story.

• I think Tequatl and all futured revamped or new bosses should be made like the scarlet invasions.Once the event starts for interval of 10 minutes it spreads through all overflows.So even if someone couldn’t get into his main server on time,they still will have a chance get into overflow with an active World Boss in it.

The problem is that Anet just refuses to acknowledge that something is broken…

cant crit so doesn’t favor zerkers

Morrigan.2809:

you cannot just hit F when the badge pops- sometimes you actually have to go over to the champ and then hit F
just saying

and no it is not DR.

the only time I have not got loot at a champ is if I get a bronze and I am on a low level character- in other word I raced in as he went down :p

or enable aoe looting

Honestly the problem is gold inflation when the game first started 2gold would have been a lot of money. remember 10g for precursors…

So much for having a realistic living story and an evolving world. In real life if you miss a epic battle you don’t get to revisit it.

And I love how people assume they are not working on it.

Whether it rolled out as LW or as an expansion content is content. You either like it or you don’t. If scarlet was rolled out as an expansion people wouldn’t have liked it any more then it currently is.

For one you don’t sit at teq for an hour you do a Champ train. If you spawn an of all champs are up. So If you are just sitting around for an hour you are probably very board. 2nd Teq like Karka queen has exotics that drop very commonly at least 5x drop rate of other bosses. It also has very rare chance to drop an item worth 100g+ Acended weapon without needing crafting and a mini worth 30g. Considering it was 1000g when new teq came out reward significantly dropped for teq. You have guaranteed 3 rares and 2g for killing teq also.

As in any MMORPG it is all RNG though

Eveliina.8619:

I am not sure, but somehow it looks like that giant Clockwork “woman” is in

a) fractails
b) dungeon
c) Place like Queen’s Gauntlet was.

There was too little players on those plates where she stepped and there were quite few players around of those other clockworks too. (I think there were 5 players on that plate). I didn’t see same zerg around those clockworks as there were with that wurm. There might be NPC’s in there with those players fighting with those clockworks.

I notice that there were 5 plates and 5 chains on that clockwork woman. Or is it just a coincidence? But somehow it feels like those plates are somehow same kind of like Queen’s Gauntlet had.

That wurm is in open world. There was more players around of it.

Well, this is only a grazy idea what I got when I watch that video.

Maybe the smart players knew not to stand on the plates when the boss is stomping. Any speculation now might be pointless latter.

Crossing my fingers for Canach most bad kitten npc in game when commando soloed molten facilities which is most likely where he got his scorched appearance. His fight in southsun was underwhelming though.

There are those who rise to the challenge jump the bar where it is and those who want to lower the bar just to make it easier. do you have any other argument then I can’t do it make it easier. Most servers who kill are doing it with 7-9mins to spare so there is that if anything i would argue make teq harder and boost the rewards which would make teq more viable as difficult content.

Teq isn’t the only world boss in the game if you want the mini buy it of trading post it is pritty cheap now.

It is said if the tooth is ever destroyed all norn will march on Jormag. Making the first Norn army ever….

Lore-wise a Norn army would be the most devastating thing that ever happened in Tyria, including awakening of elder dragons

Can you imagine the after party? A moot that size would destroy the world far quicker than any of the dragons.

Jormags after party will be truly insane

I kinda wanted to nerf the UFO comments that where showing up in the butt because a lot of people who feel GW2 is more SIFI then Fantasy where mentioning it. Instead of trying to explain it from what already exists in game. However, IF it is a reactor it means Scarlet has a nuclear powered robot and we are all most likely going to die.

Why didn’t glint kill Kraggy when he was sleeping in GW1? She had the weapon (the spear). She had an army (the player). And Kraggy Spinal cord where for all to see. So why didn’t she kill him in the 250years between GW1 and GW?

Had the means and the opportunity so she must not have had the motivation. Which I find very interesting.

how about we get a boss fight the size of an elder dragon in a wurm that is the size of the entire map

A lot of people been pointing out the UFO in the video but doesn’t it look like part of the reactor in FOTM.

Brother Dulfite.5793:

I would love for this to be the case and I hope it is but didn’t Anet claim that Abaddon was “dead, dead” meaning he will never return?

He was my favorite villain out of all the gw1 games and gw2 game (so far). I want him back!

Hell if in Path 2 COF they can resurrect Balefire who was ascending as a god they sure as hell can resurrect abandon maybe that is the technique she took from the flame legion.

Kalarchis.8635:

“E” might have nothing to do with the character’s real name and just be there to throw us off.

Whoever it is, they’re likely going to be the fifth member of the new Destiny’s Edge. Since they’ve already got a charr, a norn and two humans, E is most likely an asura or sylvari. I’m betting asura; probably someone who knew Scarlett while she was attending the three colleges.

Don’t joke Sylvari we know is already Caneth

wait till ascended food comes out maybe then it will be worth it

No place to point lack of guild updates in LS content

-No guild halls
-No current guild upgrades
-Lack of in game guild activities
-Establish True GvG again
-Missions lack of rewards with current dungeon update lack of motivation to do them
-Teq level epic boss fights for guilds please

direct guild benefit for running with guild’s 5x influence gain. So if guild cant support dungeon runs with each other especially when it is small it isn’t doing to well or leaders don’t know what they are doing.

cause your guild is weak/dead
