So far Teq fight being something from exciting to boring content that not everyone want to stick around are the way the fight is implemented that it doesn’t prepare any first timer or casusl for the fight and end up hinder the entire server effort. Adding this would help a lot at longevity and success rate of the raid.
- tutorial pre event such as wave dodging , jumping over training. Turret skill priority training.
- make it so that only people who know how to use turret can kick AFK, unorganized people out.Maybe add that only people who complete tutorial can use it.
- Ready check.Too many time that overflow failed because there arn,t enough people . Afkers , commander not present to give general directions. Please make a trigger zone similar to WvW siege breaker event.
- Things to do when Teq is not up. There arn,t many dynamic event that worth of lvl 80 people to do it. This make people who organize teq raid have noting to do. A bank or trading post or trainer is also needed. Putting them to black water WP would be a good place for someone who want to Afk too.
- Commander recognition ,there should be and award for commander who leading the fight.That would make said commander stand out in an overflow. Maybe after the fight everyone can get a token and sent it commander. And let commander buy a new skin for commander icon. To represent what role in the raid.

Putting raiding content in casual environment always bring up headache. Probably there gonna need to be tutorial mechanic before the fight.
Especially turret guys need a certificate to operate it.
I used Turret #1 skill tagging a mob in the middle battery and got the chest
The thing is our guild planing to raid Teq tomorrow .Would to know which server have low Oceanic players and having about 50 online at peak hour mean that we are 30 men shortage.
Not sure if any other local guild might show up at the time and it might make the fight run not so smooth due to map player limits.
I agree that Teq fight really need a pre-event to gather people , organised or Pugs. And wake up those AFKers.Explain the fight to the newbie , putting required food tray and setting up Utility.
I already suggest that the fight need a ready check like WvWvW siege breaker event.
Like what A-net said this content need an organized group to take take down the boss.But overflow in general very disorder because people just jump right into the zone.
Teq timer should stop if they aren’t enough people showing up in the event. Give people sometime to establish command , and explain the fight and get their food , potion up .
Something like commander siegebreaker event in WvWvW would be nice enough. 50 people gathering in designated spot before the timer start counting down.
Ressing dead in combat take too much time thus making the healer exposed to incoming attack.Causing what I called down domino. When you can use that time doing DPS to the boss and mobs attacking objective.
My experience with Teq is not so well with current internet condition.Manage to get in to main SV then wait for 30 minute for Teq to popup then suddenly skill lag happen and kicked out of game end up to overflow with 0 chance to success. funtime
Fromn SEA as well I can play thegame normally but zoning mostly end up in limbo and up at map loading screen over 3 minute and I have to relog to get to another zone.Very inconvenient for world boss hunting.
I just used up those sprocket to bump my crafting to 450. Not regret anything though
Just won with Thief after wasting 200 tickets with wrong build
Thief using condition damage gear. Dual dagger and Pistol/ Dagger
10/0/0/30/30 trait
Must have trait is Vigor recovery and Bountiful Theft for extra endurance.Extra initiative to spam Death Blossom when you are in tight spot .
Utility, Roll for initiative , smoke powder , Agility signet.
The thing is just that winning doesn’t give you the best farming result. I hope next invasion event going to balance them a little bit more.
I wonder what Mad King got in store.Aside from the last year attraction.Cloud be a little more horror story/movie based game or maybe jumping puzzle that look like a haunted house that you need to scare people to get to next stage.
Maybe people are trying out another big name MMO right now.That game with horsebird version 2.0.Not server cap lifted.
You still got like 15 days on the pavillion.And sprocket drop like rain.pretty much buy them off the trading post before.
There’s extra chest on each pavilion zone which contain around 10 sprocket. If commander is not fixed on farming destroyer you might grab them when commander lead zerg to clear the area around the chest.
Also you can use those gauntlet ticket farm opponent that you can fight with 3-4 gambits without losing too many time.
Dagger/Pistol, Pistol/Pistol , smoke wall , spider venom
Kill the healer guy first.He got quiet a long animation before he do healing which you can give him head shot.
After that the other 3 will get a regen buff counter it with posion, kill either melee guy use Blackpower , smoke walll to keep yourself alive while stabbing them
the last guy should be easy after this.
Also remember that when each of them killed they got healed to full HP.
If farming in general is something to be controlled. Please don’t do it by making the content harder or outright cutting loot drop.
That gauntlet patch which make opponent aggro rightaway is just way to generate QQ.Consider stuffs there got 1 hit KO.
Put a cooldown on gambit after you win based on ticket used. At least it will tone the farming down while letting people who go for achievement have easier time on the fight.
If Anet really dont want people to farm there they should just put time gate mechanic down there. Maybe disable gambit if you win 10 times with gambit on.And resume after a few hour.
Increase diffuculty not really needed. that gonna make things harder for them for later balance issue.
Aatxe follow behind
Champs farm zerg is pretty something that people looking for.Easy money , no stretegy required.
A-net nerf bat sometimes off.Claw of Jormag champs should at least drop stuff .Or there gonna be nobody doing them.
Right now its cursed shore turn where people farm Anchorage events.Not advancing it.And left Priest of melandru and grenth twiddle tumbs on the altar.
Bind new key for AOE loot, problem solved
Yeah I did play Darksoul till the end.I can still remember that Dark Knight kicking my kitten at undead burg when I’m still a lowbie.But at least all the move got the right timing.Not something you have to predict before like playing online game with latency.
A-net want to make this game like Darksoul which is kinda niche.And its not working well when half of your customer playing from other continents.
Done the trial solo after like 20+ tries

It really suck that when the time I thought out a team build to tackle candidate trial.Seem’s no one really care to give it a shot because of how people perceived difficulty(very large enemy health pool).Thats quiet a waste for a chance for the skin.

After trying again with random group.Found that those vets have absurb HP which need to be focus down with at lest 3 people to get the job done before any of them spawn more.And they won’t stay clustered so team need at least 2 people who can chain pull them and another person stun lock them which I found thats really not going to happen to most builds and classes out there.
Dev really need to tone down Vet HP they can keep there damage and some of thier nasty move like chain stun , invulnerability , 1 shot 12 stack bleed, out of nowhere 5 stack of confusion.

Question to the QA. How do you rate difficulty of T4 Candidate trail compared to mobs group inside Atherbalde retreat encounter?
I find they got more HP than the 5 man instance.Which is like half a champ usually have more than 2 of them that can spam daze and stun really deadly for 5 man group.
And throwing their numbers like they were normal mobs is too much. No matter what build to bring its no good to fight them head on.
Maddie just lockaway the water drinking. For science is pretty much recommend. And try to land bleching when she try to fake.
Its pretty much luck as well.
Found those phishing email on old e-mail account spam folder(which I used to associate GW2 with). The detail are just like everyone else’s email.Those mail sent around June 18th
Im from SE Asia.Definately lost about 30s doing the lighting pull.
Also sanctum sprint pretty much unwinable due to random rubber banding.
Some food are nice to have if you are trying to get achievement .
Like those Loaf of Saffron Bread( – stun duration )
Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew (+ endurance regneration)
Karka queen meta require guild effort .Even with that scale its still because how the event placed.
4 Settlements got events pop up almost right after the queen show up. Steampipe steading where the queen 1st spawn also spawn armies of karkas. Everyone getting blocked off unless Camp Karka is uncontested.
Thus making defending Klei and Pride waypoint useless and make people missed out the queen event.
So queen karka have no place to invade and go to hiding rightaway after the first try.People waste an hour doing those overscaled events.
Especially at camp karka where karka hive defender got promoted to champion and got tons of HP.
Does Aetherblade consider a bandit type enemy? Have anyone tried drinking potion before entering dungeon?
It’s been worse.I remember getting event near the bunch of Ettins and run back to SB to barely catching up.But now I can catch up when Sb is around 70%.
I think SB already buffed once along with the Jungle wurm update.
113 ecto turned to 200 dusts with basic salvage kits
Well only flipper and farmer gonna kitten ed here.I’m glad I sold mine off before the patch hit.Well just some pocket money for exotic set though.
This probably something technical.I don’t think anyone who play in US got this problem.It’s like playing FPS game cross country in 2000 all over again.
So far this mini game is very like Quake 3 except your attack is auto aim.Jump pad can be very disorienting especially when your jump doesn’t match the real time position. This was all over SuperAB jump pads as well.

Well that’s one way to make people convert gem to gold.
That spot is legit but I usually farm with a friend till DR kick in.I would say that farming there over 6 hour a day is not the best practice.
I play thief on dungeon and fractal.Don’t really having much trouble on those.But seeing bad players running general PvE build (No group buff , extra dodge , stability) which usually fall in 2 classes those are ranger and thief.Since both class doesn’t have much choice on those.Especially when fail to get out of the harm way because they just stand there and take the hit.
Isn’t that sample well hidden behind the steam. Took my time running around in the blind till I saw someone run behind the steam.
After playing this game for awhile.The game that flash into my mind is “River city ransom”
It was a great 80’s brawler game which many sports adaptation in the series.Crazy move and chaotic melee.Multiplayer in front of the TV was really the best at the time.
And that’s why I like crab toss.
Nope not really.I only understand that anonymous in gaming can turn people into babies.
And this comic ring very true

I would join if I got a mesmer
So fellow crab tossing champs.Have you ever win so much that people getting mean to you.Whether you play to win or just for fun or just for challenges.Unfortunately there are many kind of people doing crab toss. Including people who can’t get in competitive actions and decide to do things to spoil the sportsmanship.
Lets share the stories.
With many match today.This session I played around 2 hours.Got some good matchs.There was a guardian who came in late and won the game.After that I starting to get a winning streak.I trashed him with crabs in my clutch so many time when he decide to come for a steal.After the third win he started calling name. And tell me that I should laid off.
On the 3th match he start stealing and chain stunning me.OK thats a valid tactics.Keep the dominating player out of the game.And I still win.
4th match.He delicate himself to keeping my score low with everything that crab toss allow to do so.And I win again.
And at the end of the match he said that He’s helping newbie and he could win if he want.And I called him the empty hero.
Its really no use to stating calling names just to justify your loss.And In my opinion he doesn’t enjoy the game at all.I guess thats the type that wouldn’t enjoy any kind of PVP without any OP build.
Couldn’t agree more on control role.Being underhanded by bosses defiant stack.
Molten facility was something that control role shine there.Would be better if there are enemies that stick to their advantage position that need player with control skill to kick them out.
Drake charging tail spin extend a little further .pretty sure some move got a wonky range as well
I was doing crab toss normally till one guy call for crabtacular boosting. And I was leading on that game.
Saw people trying to gather in the middle so I decide to play along.But someone getting impatience enough to call me a troll.When I just trying to line up the group to the karka roll path while there is another guy trying to snatch crab.So i decide to just throw crab into the group.Let that group figure out the situation.
It take another game till the that group starting to get achievement.while I got crabtacular and 2 wins in a row.
Thanks for the answer.The next run really wasn.t bad got some rare occasionally from event chest now.
I’m having doubt on this food.I am now farming southsun cove event where me and my guild mate are running MF set at different level.Both using event buff and booster.
Seeing from the Hero panel we compare our end MF rating.
Me 300% MF (340% if Chocolate Omnom work as intended)
Guild mate is around 400% MF after eating Omnom bar.
An hours passed and the booster ended He netted up 15+ rare. while I got only master works.
There was a thread saying that MF only work on kills.But I don’t know why mate always get a rare from riot event chest though.
