Guild Wars 2

I’m ok with this.

Zaxares.5419:

It’d be interesting if Faolain and Caithe teamed up to take down Scarlet. XD Players working WITH the Nightmare Court for a change? Edgy.

That would be AWESOME. On my guild’s story, that’s exactly what is happening since she showed up. Our wardens and our nightmare courtiers teamed up to take her down and to protect Mother. I would be so happy if that was cannon lol

Congratulations Ebay ^^

Halcyon.7352:

There was an additional kill prior to that on Tarnished Coast this morning too.

It’s gonna get way harder to keep track of all this…

I don’t think we are counting TC’s wins anymore.

Scarlet stuffed them with her gifts. How nice of her.

The only issues with this on TC I’ve seen was the last fight where there was a remark in Mumble we shouldn’t need the commanders to lead, call out, or bother organizing, we should just think for ourselves and just know what to do – ie they couldn’t be bothered.

First time I’ve ever been disappointed with my own server in this content – our commanders are usually polite, passionate and organized.

Meh, the only thing being a commander guarantees is that you spent 100g. There were always bad ones, just probably not so concentrated into one place vying for attention.

I’m just not used to this from TC during Teq – I guess I was spoiled by the commanders and volunteers who cared and actually, you know, commanded and worked together.

Won’t be doing late night Teq again. All the blame got piled on the turret users too. Very, VERY disappointed, TC.

I know what you mean, but remember that there are rotten apples everywhere, and that some commanders were commanding during the whole day and they were probably pretty tired already. I was not there when that happened, so I don’t know which commander was the one that was that rude, but it is a very unusual behavior. Don’t blame the whole server, please. I have been on many fights with TC already, got my title and never had this kind of problem.

It happened again. Guidence was asked for in Mumble as to where to cleanse and who needed what, they pretty much said if you don’t already know what to do, you can’t play this and it was pretty much a “GTFO N00B response”, one even called those screaming for command in mapchat “crybabies”. There are first timers still in TC who need to know where to go and what to do, that behavior is absolutely toxic. They did step up after saying all that and we got a kill but that is bullkitten – our server is better than that.

Guys, if you don’t want to repeatedly give commands even to a skilled group, don’t offer to be a commander or command on Mumble. It’s a thankless job but don’t sign up if you really don’t want to be prepared to herd cats.

I was there this time, yeah, it was pretty bad. They just assumed everybody was on Mumble. They were commanding nicely by voice, but not by text. It took the whole first part of the event for them to realize that the map was full of people that couldn’t hear them.

I hope that it never happens again.

^The people are not, the organization is not and the chances to actually complete the event are certainly not identical on an overflow.

Being able to put your pride aside and actually listen to the people that know what they are doing is an underrated trait of a good player (and human being).

If too many people in the map refuses to waypoint when dead, chooses to hit Teq with the turrets instead of cleansing the zerg when told to, do not want to protect the turrets or to destroy tendrils, the event is doomed to fail, even if there are enough people in the map to kill Teq.

He’s an undead dragon. His teeth are not falling out because he’s teething…

He should learn how to floss his teeth.

It doesn’t matter how he does it, he is doing it wrong.

That’s interesting, because the last three patches were my favourites since the Bazaar.

Can’t please everybody, I guess.

nihavel.6592:

I’m not sure that’s it a silvary-centric lore.

If you enlarge the image you can see “strange” green marks in her forehead.
This marks are looks like the eyes of margonite.

So i guess 3 option:
- It’s the ultimate godness form of Kormir, or a margonite with kormir influence.
- It’s a largo without a mask, (marks are gills)
- It’s halloween after all. it’s only a member of lunatic court.

That’s just Caithe’s face. She, and nobody else, has these marks, and she always had them.

What if we had a certain number of overflows where only the people of the same server would get in, and just after these overflows got full the game started creating the mixed servers overflow?

It would be the best possible situation, but if I am going to get stuck in overflow, I would prefer to be stuck with people that I know. Not that I know everybody in TC, but still, it would be easier to organize everybody. There would be sub-channels on our Mumble for “TC overflow 1”, “TC overflow 2”, and so on.

Edit: Yeah, I’m stuck on overflow right now.

Congratulations!
All the top 4 NA WvW servers did it, now!

Took us a while, the hardest part was communicating, it sucks we weren’t the 1st or the 2nd, but we finally made it….that’s ultimately what matters

Of course! Specially if Teq ends up being nerfed. We all will be able to say that we killed him while it was still difficult ;D

Congratulations!
All the top 4 NA WvW servers did it, now!

Hexin.5603:

I hope TC has a few more shots at him tonight, I’m so happy to see you day guys getting him down, but have had 0 luck in the overflows at night time.

See ya in voice comms tonight and best of luck to all TC (and other servers) until then.

We shall. I will play tonight and I will let you know if I can get in so that I can try to get you in, too.

Congratulations to JQ for beating Teq! I have a few good friends over there ^^

And keep trying, CD! You can do it!

Dagraan.2854:

Tequatl is being beaten by only t1 servers and by gigantic guilds, he has not been beaten in some overflow and never will.
i have no idea where you are getting this info from but its wrong.
not to mention its not even a win every time.

TC is a tier 2 server.
There were many well-known guilds there during our first victory, but most people there were in smaller guilds (like me). I could see [Yum], of course, and also [CERN], but there were many smaller guilds and also people there were not representing any guilds, and that I would probably have not recognized if I had never seen one of them roleplaying at DR or chatting at Queensdale’s map chat.
None of my friends were online, I got rescued from the Overflow by a kind Toaster that saw me around here (and other three asked me later if I was still stuck in an overflow. I love you guys <3).

That’s a good idea. I like this.

As someone that does not have much time to play non-stopping (I usually play for two or three hours, go to college, play for more two hours, go to work then play for four hours or so during the night), I would actually like it to appear more frequently for now. Right now, I can hardly make two attempts before having to log out, and then I have to wait for someone to rescue me from Overflow when I log in again. It wouldn’t be a problem if I could get on TC every time instead of getting stuck in overflows. 30 minutes between each spawn would be better for me. Just during these two weeks, of course.

I agree with everything else.

Caithe is the only sylvari right now that has that pattern on her face (her face is unique, like it is with other important characters too).

Is it bad that all I want from a TA revamp is new foliage armor? xD

Four attempts on Tarnished Coast. I was there for our server’s first kill, but the game crashed and I got nothing for it. My lowest percentage without crashing was 1~2% on the next two tries. I tried twice on overflow, too, and got nowhere close to 80%.

I will try again later. I hope I can get out of the overflow.

This is useful info Bobby, but again, finding out this is part of the story through a forum shows something is going wrong in game.

There could have been an intro for this at black citAdel with rytlock or more importantly the pact leaders. Finding the dragon clues could set up convos with priory npcs that then teases the connection to what is happening in Tyria. Right now, theres nothing tieing this to a story except your above post. Its just a boss fight and nothing else.

Saying more will come later is great….but how do in game players currently know this until the UI is ready?

You didn’t need to find out via the forum. You were just too busy being angry and flaunting your entitlement complex to work it out on your own.

Much like the entitlement complex of the likely overgrown kid above my post.

eh? I think you replied to the wrong post there I’m not angry at all, although I am entitled to express my opinion..with ideas..exactly as I did… Also, the writers have even said they haven’t put enough story communication. Not sure what constructive point your reply was attempting here..

I think the point is that you can catch the simpler, superficial version of what is going on in game. You know, by talking to NPCs, watching idle conversations, reading mails.

If you only do that, you won’t be completely confused, but you won’t know much about the character’s personalities and stories. It is not possible right now to find any depth in game. For example, we knew who Canach was (if we participated on the first Southsun event), but we needed a forum post to know why his appearance was so drastically changed (lore-wise. For the game play reasons, I am sure that it was because “evil people can’t be pretty” =/ ). We knew already that sylvari’s appearance can change based on their experiences, emotions and the surroundings, but we never knew before that they could change so drastically. I would like to see something about that in the game. I mean, Kiel knew him, she could have said something about it. That would be way better than a forum post.

The biggest problem is the first part. TC can almost always get Teq to 1~2%, but when we finish the first part before hitting the 7’30’’ mark, we win. Half the time is spend on the first 25%. I can see how that is a problem to the other servers. TC would probably kill Teq all the time if we had one more minute though, but I understand that it must be frustrating for the servers that are not so active.

Aerlen.5326:

Firebird Gomer.9563:

Wow Congrats to TC you seem to really have the pattern down now.

Other servers are really struggling to get even to 50%. Why the difference I wonder.

Also to SoR good job well done.

For TC:

1. Commanders who actually know what they are doing, remain polite but yet passionate and give instruction not insults. I’ve read some other threads about the blue doritos on other servers and.. wow..
2. Mumble. Mumble. Mumble.
3. Players who actually know what they’re doing and are willing to instruct others and are polite.
4. Co-operation.
5. Quaggans with kites.

Exactly! Our Commanders are great. I mentioned somewhere else that people don’t even get mad when the event fails. They just say something like “Aww, we were so close!” (because, when we fail, it is for 1~2% ;P), GG and move on.

The content is so hard that just completing it makes me happy already, even if the rewards are not that good. Even when we fail, people on /map and mumble don’t even get mad, they just say something like “aww, so close!” xD

I am not complaining. I like it. Don’t judge me.

Congratulations!

You gotta admit, it might be a bit frustrating when we fail, but it feels really good when we finally kill him.

I hate when I can’t get in my server, but it certainly is not because of lack of faith towards players on Overflow. It is 100% because of server pride. I am a Toaster since launch and I’m always in WvW, so I’ve got to know a lot of active players in my server, even if we are not in the same guild. Usually, I randomly meet people that I know around the world. People that I defended Stonemist Castle or that I roleplayed with.

Server pride, for sure.

I’m stuck in overflow again right now :T

Hey Toasters! Stop killing Teq without me! :C
I kid. I love you all and I am happy you did it. I hope I can join you for the next kill.

Congratulations for the second kill! I wasn’t there this time, but I will try to be for the third kill! Hah!

I thought we were the third worldwide. Vabbi’s reported the killing of Teq after TC at least.

Well, it doesn’t matter. It feels good to be a Toaster.

Can you tell us at which point of the Personal Story is the Living Story taking place, Bobby?
It seems to be after the Pact was formed but before Zhaitan’s death right now. Is that so?

My game crashed just as Teq as going down, too. It opened that little window to send a report to ANet and everything.

I am so happy TC did it and that I was there for the whole event (except for the last 10 seconds because of the crash) that I really don’t mind.

Congratulations!

And the list grows!

TC is the “unofficial RP server”. I also RP. It’s a joke, stop being kitten.

I think at least SOME of the people in that screenshot are acting out of character. =P

We usually do not act in character on map chat or during big events that can fail (like Balt), tbh.

Hey Bobby, since Rox is alone this time, will we see something that is only about Braham anytime soon?

Kal Spiro.9745:

It was obvious Contrast that made it all possible. We have so many Devs playing on TC it’s crazy.

And they roleplay with us all the time, too.

WyldKat.4712:

Aerlen.5326:

Congrats TC, wish I could have been there where I belonged instead of stuck in the bullkitten overflow.

You know, I’m very curious as to what a bullkitten would look like. Maybe a kitten with Texas type longhorns. Yeah, that would be awesoe.

So… Charr?

Firefly.5982:

Happy to have been there for TCs first victory. Love ya TC -single tear-

And we love you too, random citizen!

But seriously, I love this server.

Thrutian.7931:

1) Countless waves of mobs flood in while you’re fighting him.
2) There are no villages nearby to be set on fire.
3) 90% of the NPCs are already dead 2 minutes into the fight.

That’s why Teq just go “Meh, I will just go have tea with Bubbles now”.

Proteus.6320:

The Gates Assassin.9827:

If RPers can do this, so can you.

(Tarnished Coast)

1. Not all on TC are RPere considering its a top 5 NA wvwvw server.
2. Possibly half the people on the map were guests, like every time I try to go to FGS or any other event where guests force players off their own kitten homes.

Nice job on bein a condescending priq to RPers though.

1. Excuse me, but roleplayers can fight too. Many of our WvW lovers are also roleplayers (like me).
2. I don’t think so. Most of the people were from well-known TC guilds, and I could recognize a bunch of people that I always see in WvW and even roleplaying at DR.

I found your post way more offensive than his.

I’m a roleplayer and I was there! Woo!

TC just killed it!
Game crashed just before we killed it, but I could hear people celebrating on Mumble.
Well done everybody! I’m glad I could be part of it!

Since my game crashed, I’ve got no loot, but I am really happy that I could help!

Doon.2364:

Bree is so smart. Can’t believe a 3 yr old can do that. Does Bree not like Asuras? I think it would be so cute if Bree plays a little female Asura.

She isn’t a fan of Asuras.. she thinks they’re ugly. lol. She likes the Norn a lot, though. I have a Norn Ranger named Aubree Swiftpaw, that’s her favorite.

Hah! Aubree likes the epic race!

The Norn are the best.

Congratulations. I must admit that I doubted that an EU server would do it so soon (just because of the multiple languages, I never doubted your skills, of course).

Really impressive! Good job, you guys are great!

Congratulations Desolation!

Go TC! We are doing this today, I can feel it in my roleplaying bones!

I’m still stuck in overflow tough.

phaneo.4597:

I’d rather try to make it onto my server TC’s map and try to help our server succeed rather than guest to BG for myself to succeed. But dem queues and overflows… pfft.

Same here :c
I don’t have enough time to just sit and wait, so I failed 3 times at different overflows, unable to go back to TC.

SynfulChaot.3169:

Gabby.3205:

Inb4 Teq is nerfed and BG goes from “first” to “only server to beat Teq when it was actually hard”.

Or before it was insanely hard.

Why do people have trouble differentiating different levels of difficulty? Why do the speak as if there is only ‘faceroll’ and ‘hard’? *sigh*

If it is possible, we should be able to do it. We are a big server too, you know.
I just hope that we can kill it before it is nerfed, TBH. I really want TC to be one of the servers to beat it while it is still “insanely hard, but possible”.
We are the RP server alright, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t face this kind of challenge.

Inb4 Teq is nerfed and BG goes from “first” to “only server to beat Teq when it was actually hard”.

Rox and Braham are easy to put anywhere because of their reasons to do everything.
Rox wants to impress Rytlock.
Braham is building his legend.
There is no need for a new character, for an obscure motive or anything new at all. Rox and Braham will simply fit any kind of plot that involves a fight. It works.

I’m not complaining, I like them. Sure, I would like to see different characters, but as long as it is not about Kiel, I’m fine with it.

I am surprised Braham is not with her this time.

SynfulChaot.3169:

And now there will be an influx of players trying on a few servers (like Blackgate) while noone bothers attempting Tequatl on all others.

Don’t worry, the Toast can do it too
…Eventually.

I still couldn’t get in the main server for a Teq fight… Stuck in overflows.
