The Title field needs to be filled.
Also, you have to do enough damage on the boss and not be dead for too long during the event.
Some servers don’t even bother to start Explorer Plinx. It seems people have forgot about Plinx for other meta events and living story content.
Plinx is just sitting in his cozy spot on over 50% of the servers.
Taidha Covington recently got buffed since the Tequatl update, but she got buffed the wrong way.

I’ve experienced this issue but it seems to have happened before yesterday’s patch went online. What’s weird is it seems to have Life Siphon ability beyond 2400 range. This happened during Pact escort to Balthazar altar. You can only stop its Life Siphon skill by interrupting it.
Veteran Risen Subjugator also drops multiple unidentifiable Wells all over the area that lasts 30-seconds until killed or disappeared. This new ability appeared since August’s patch, but there is zero confirmation if this is intended or a bug.
The event has to succeed to get the greater rewards. Scarlet dead while event failed won’t work.
Particularly the wells casted by Veteran Risen Subjugators.
How is this possible?
Unfortunately, attacking Shatterer’s mobs does not contribute to the event.
Is there really no official reply regarding Champion/Veteran Risen Subjugators spamming unidentifiable wells all over the ground that last 30-seconds? The AI programmers must be trolling on players on purpose.
The chest spawn is too short. THAT is cheap. This isn’t about me, so refrain from personal attacks.
The chest for Inquest Golem Mark II disappeared before I could loot it. It disappeared after 2 minutes while I was waiting for revival.
Please extend the time the chest stays up.
It was probably a Veteran Abomination with 25 stacks, with a charge attack being so deadly than the Champion variant (which doesn’t spawn at all during Tequatl events)..
when was culling removed for mobs? cuz im still getting hit from “unknown”
AFAIK culling seems to be removed. You will still see their name tags even if the model hasn’t loaded in yet. Most of the time, it is hard to spot the boomers since their name tag is buried with other names tags in the fight.
“Unknown” happens most of the time. The explosion hits after they’ve been removed from the zone before the game could determine who caused the damage.
The screenshot I posted was just a rare occurrence that the game somehow caught the source.
It’s part of the meta event. The list is somewhat out of order: The Battle for Mount Maelstrom
The first event starts at Glorlois Spine in Ashen Waste, just outside the volcano, where a Golem runs rampage. This is the start of the meta event.
There is a cool down after Megadestroyer is destroyed before the first event starts again.
Good riddance.
This rarely happens, but I caught the combat log showing the source of the damage for once.
Opened on Blackgate as of 4:25 PM server time.
Since the culling went away, they’ll load in before exploding. Just be sure to yell “BOOMER!” before they explode.
The champion ones are quite noticeable if you have Enemy name tag enabled. It makes it easier to spot a long name like Champion Risen Plague Carrier.
you have to do the pre-event three times before it goes to the next phase. The port in front of the pre-event npcs has a ship sitting in the water, once the pre-events to kill the champ risen have been completed enough to move to the next phase the ship will sail away.
This no longer works. If players fail to take down Taidha Covington’s ridiculous HP scaling, the meta event stops working. Doing the “pre-events” will not restart the main meta event.
Currently, killing Taidha Covington is a one-time deal until next game update, or until it’s fixed.
I heard October broke Tequatl.
It’s already past 0:00 GMT time.
Few hours ago (9:30 AM server time), I took a snapshot of the status of The Campaign Against Taidha Covington meta event.
The meta event is currently broken on 40 out of 51 servers (the worst ratio I’ve seen when Temple of Dwayna was bugged during the 4th of July weekend.)
Bloodtide Coast will reset tomorrow with the new game build, so everyone will have a chance to do Taidha Covington events until event failure.
I really hope this meta event killing bug is fixed soon.
The meta event is currently broken on 40 out of 51 servers, while the other 11 servers has succeeded in killing Taidha Covington, but it’s awaiting the Bill and Hekja event completion before the main meta event starts again. You will practically need a zerg to take down Taidha Covington, due to bugged scaling with Taidha Covington on small group of players.
Your best bet is guesting on high-populated server which are likely to succeed in taking down Taidha Covington (For EU: Aurora Glade, Baruch Bay, Desolation, and Piken Square last took it down). Tomorrow is a new game update. Taidha Covington meta event starts in around 15-30 minutes after the new game build goes online.

Going through Tribulation mode involves a lot of trial and error. Shortcut thingies are one of them. Players will fall to their doom if they go through the Shortcut Wurm.
tribulation mode
It trolls you if you attempted to use the Shortcut Eagle.
That didn’t help. None of those are up unfortunately. Bill & Hekja has only done it once and then they left, leaving the Covington pirates scattered around the island while Lionscout Jenny stays on the island. Bill & Hekja has never returned. See what’s wrong here?
This meta event is bugged on Blackgate.
When the Taidha Covington event failed, the event to Protect Bill and Hekja started. After we took down the Risen Covington Captain and completed the event, nothing progressed, even if we waited 30 minutes. The Galleon ship is still at Laughing Gull Island, the event with Lionguard Lindi never started at all, and the event with Bill and Hekja never reoccurred.
There is something wrong with the condition of the meta event when the Taidha Covington event failed.
Yup, that will do.

After a server reboot, a group of 12-15 players attempted to take down Taidha Covington by either melee or range attack, but her HP is not going down as normal. It literally took 7 minutes to cut her HP down to 50%.
Her health points is ridiculously upscaled as if she’s facing 50 or more players when there’s actually about 15 of us.
Finally, when she hides to another part of the ship and we attack her, her HP goes down normally, but the time ran out and she disappeared
Compared to other Legendary bosses (like those in Orr), the amount of HP Taidha Covington has at the start of the event is just absurd.
Well, we failed Taidha Covington because she’s terribly upscaled as if she’s facing +50 of us zerg (when there’s actually 15 of us). She disappears and the event goes to protecting Bill and Hekja as they clear Risen event. Another bug added.
We know what happens if players fail to take down Tequatl. Splintered Coast becomes polluted with Risen fish heads. But I’m wondering if anyone has encountered other event failures in world bosses.
If players failed to kill the Megadestroyer, it explodes – downing everyone in the volcano – and the events to clear the destroyers in the caves start.
A Veteran Tank with 25 stacks of Steroids charged directly at the Megalaser or some one by the Megalaser (possibly NPCs), and inflicted multiple “Charge” hits in one spot, insta-killing the Megalaser in seconds.
So yeah, that Tank is still doing that bugged charge skill instead of stopping.

Blackgate, Fort Aspenwood, and Tarnished Coast got Tequatl as of few minutes ago.
Gandara and Jade Quarry defeated Tequatl as of few minutes ago.
Blackgate, Far Shiverpeaks, and Vizunah Square [FR] downed Tequatl as of few minutes ago (11:07 AM server time).
Thief: Deionizing Arcanoduster + Signet of Malice
It’s a close-range attack but you will be able to keep your health up. Dodge away from electricity if it spawns under your feet. Using Feline Grace will let you dodge more.
So… People on the turrets attacking Teq may not get reward at all?
I never said anything about Tequatl and its minions.
Eredon Terrace got Tequatl. But who was running Eredon Terrace? lol
Blackgate.
Confirmed by GW2 API. Desolation got it done.
You have to directly attack Shatterer to get contribution. Minions doesn’t count.
I guess that explains why I got booted from SAB or got the black screen. It was probably guild members or friends in private message posting the chat code in chat, which boots you out, even if you’re soloing in SAB.
Well, now I was running at a roof top until my screen went black. Only the game’s mouse pointer and menu shows. What happened?
I had to Alt+F4 since Switch Character or Logout button doesn’t work.
Just got disconnected from SAB instance, tried to log back, got a “Network error .” window, and I wondered what was up with that.
I’ve never been disconnected from SAB before.
Sadly, I don’t think I’ll ever get compensated a Continue coin.
Opened on Blackgate as of 3:21 PM server time.
A group of 50+ people will take down the Champion Tank with ease in a few minutes. Of course, there will be sacrifices, and I don’t mean by throwing all NPCs at it.
I don’t think such groups would be frustrated at all. The only groups affected are few to several players that keeps letting the Tank hit anything, including pets, clones, and other summoned NPCs, not just players alone.
Anything it hits makes it “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”. It does loses his Frenzy stacks and gets stunned if it swings but misses anyone four times, whether by evading or blocking.
Shop behind acid waterfall impossible (W2Z3)
in Super Adventure Box: Back to School
Posted by: Geekfox.4267
In Tribulation mode, I’m unable to reach the shop behind the acid waterfall in World 2 Zone 3. Every time I tried to jump through the waterfall, I am stopped by an invisible wall and died instantly by the acid lake right before the shop entrance, making “Tough Customer, World 1” achievement inaccessible to unlock.
Anyone having this issue?
Veteran Risen Subjugators are to blame. They spam Wells that lasts 30-seconds. This is the bug that’s stopping the escort to Temple of Balthazar.
