Guild Wars 2

vaporized.4612:

Yea Deso.. How did you manage to do Phase 3?

We skipped straight to the 4th phase with fireworks, loot and lots of shouting on TS xD

We didn’t get this when we killed the Giant Wurm

eh nothing a bearbowyer can’t handle :P

but honestly what the……….

HellsPriest.6745:

CONGRATZ DESO!!!!!

Seriously, we’ve(TTS) been working day after day on this, and we are so close…but obviously you so have you guys and gals….well deserved Deso Server!

You all deserve the win!

I will say it sucks not to be Worlds First, but I’m still happy and I can say TTS is happy that someone has killed it! Again, congratulations…. very very well done!

Thanks guys Can’t wait for the next challenge! And the game will be on again

Triple Trouble is no proper name for such an ancient majestic menacing creature right? It is a shame that it has such a mundane, unimpressive name. Maybe if we can find a good name for it like all other world bosses, Anet will kindly change it.

List your alternatives here and I’ll update this post then open them to a vote later if there is a good amount of interest!

I’ll add one of my own:

Khai’ Harai (Khai is wurm in ancient Kyrian, Harai means Ancient One…)

Randulf.7614:

Good job guys! Shame the rewards for you weren’t as good as they should have been, but looks like the victory in itself was more than worth it

How did you find it compare to working out and beating Tequatl? Easier? Harder? More enjoyable?

It is a much more ORGANIC fight, it seems very messy at first but when you learn the elements to it, it is PURE FUN. I doubt it will ever become as sure fire farm status as Tequatl though. It simply requires a lot of concentration and preparation every single time.. And good specs, good gear is definitely a plus

Taisia.2813:

Oh it’s you.

He does have a point though.
The actual time the event takes and the actual challenge, isn’t really that high, it all comes down to people being able to listen, and thus the rewards shouldn’t be much bigger than they are.

It would after all be quite silly to have 10 times the rewards for doing a 25 minutes event compared to a 1 hour dungeon.

I just suggested a token system where unlucky people can also accumulate tokens over time to gain access to the unique minis and armor/weapon skins. Anyway, I won’t feed that troll

Taisia.2813:

The loot was HORRIBLE yes.. Simply unacceptable for all this effort. ANET should start a token system for these hard bosses

You want to be rewarded extra for failing so much?
The whole event takes about 25 minutes.
That loot probably totals 5g+
There’s a mini that will probably be worth 250g+ for weeks.

What about when it gets done on a daily basis on several servers like tequatl?
Do you expect 20g+ of rewards to everyone?

Oh it’s you.

The loot was HORRIBLE yes.. Simply unacceptable for all this effort. ANET should start a token system for these hard bosses

Such a nice title..

I think anet test team did this last part with a team in fully ascended gear and deemed it a fitting challenge for the rest of us

These bosses should have some kind of token system in any case, I’ve been killing Teq since 1st kill every single day and never got a mini and only one ascended weapon (relatively lucky compared to some other people) That kind of RNG is needless and depressing for all that effort.

When wurm goes down one random person who gets the mini will sell it for 1500g and become rich. Anet must reward dedication for bosses like this.

Today it will go down… Count on it…

you can get it without completely killing all heads at 2nd phase yes.. The wurmslayer achievement is granted per head kill (doesn’t check if all heads were killed)

I’m 1/3 in this achievement from killing the Amber Wurm Head. However I’ve killed Cobalt Head after like 2 times and never got the achievement progress. (I was in the Cobalt fight from the very beginning and damaged head and got golden chest both times)

This bug is keeping me from completing the meta. Please check.

On Deso it never bugged in this fashion and our best so far is 0% ,0%, 10% In any case good luck to all servers trying hard to beat this boss

Melvin.3295:

Well I hope that pleases you I am going to sleep now so I won’t be updating this thread for the americans, more tries at 10am tommorow!

Thnx Good luck to FSP tomorrow, we’ll go for one more tonight…

Melvin.3295:

The picture should be in there right? I can’t put in pictures that I don’t have

as in a previous post in the thread

Melvin can you update your original post to reflect our insane 0%, 0%, 10% one?

We’re sooo close… so yes it is possible.. BUT very hard to do yes, dps check at that point mainly..

Desolation kitten ed out at 20:00

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

We may fall from fatigue before the worms do lol

Sicarius.4639:

Desolation’s attempt. Possibly the furthest anyone has got with this encounter?

I was there, we needed just 5 more seconds((

This whole encounter is a perfect example why TTS and guilds like them are detrimental to the game as a whole.
When a “special” guild has to be created to defeat a boss, that is a sign there is something wrong with that boss encounter. When that same “special” guild then defeats the boss, it “proves” to the dev team that the encounter is working as intended as it can be beaten.
The marionette was done well, the wurm and teq are just ridiculous.

Players banding together to take down the strongest bosses in the game is working exactly as intended.

If the forced creation of special guilds like TSS is what anet intended, then the game is doomed as that is pretty much the worst example of programming I have ever seen in any game.

For hardcore endgame objectives guilds form all the time in MMOs.. I guess you’re new to this.

Good luck FSP

I thought the same but then if they used this in wvw you would have the entire world red all the time (but +1 as an option for the player)

Recipe for helmet dropped on our 5th kill today.

Agree with everything you said, this wurm’s mechanic is unfortunately poorly implemented imo. And targeting the boss is a pain to use the speargun… The difficulty should not be in the “buggy aspects” of the encounter +1

New eternity skin dropped in our last kill

The important question is:
Do the decapitated heads reset and become a full wurm again?

So here is the deal:

On Deso we are able to kill one of the wurms and “decapitate” it.. The “head” is immune though until all other heads are decapitated. I am not sure if once the head’s HP is full the individual boss resets (highly improbable)

So would this strategy work?

1. Do escorts as 3 zergs
2. Unite and Zerg bosses very quickly as 1 big zerg one by one, leaving them decapitated
3. Split up again to 3 groups to finish them off

Just opening it up for discussion

Waldir.2571:

Got mine………….

My mate has gotten his back too, we could hear him cry over TS.. for like a long 5 minutes and we could understand… them feels..

Yea dudes don’t expect to be steamroll all the content 1st try.. I love the challenge and if your pc can’t handle it lower gfx settings for this fight..

Redenaz.8631:

I have also obtained the new backpack. It is magnificient.

10/10, five stars, would randomly obtain again.

That is the best backpiece in GW2 or any other game in history… period.

The red worm is clearly Photoshopped…I mean, just look at the pixels!

The green worm also has the wrong hue… Nice try OP, but we ain’t falling for that !

It’s because I am playing on max settings with a Nasa specced computer… The majority of the population doesn’t see this amount of color and graphic detail sadly

Sorry I zoomed in too much I guess xD Here is a better screeny.

same can’t log in……………………………

…and crafting double incinerators, my beautiful ele, Xirn is complete! Just thought I’d share It’s a shame anet will take away flame kissed armor though

They have collision detection since day 1 in DCUO and it works without a hitch. Bodies can’t and should not be able to stack anyway

I’m talking about the “change” what they give does not matter, changing it half way is lousy. It’s unfair to people who are yet to open those boxes..

With the recent patch, normal quartz crystals will drop instead of charged ones from the Giant Gift boxes… Some people already opened tons of those boxes and stashed away a lot of charged crystals. The rest who planned to do it later are now put in a terribly unfair situation.

Dear anet, this is simply unacceptable and unfair. If it was unintended, why punish the player base like this?

My 2c.

Of course, the materials are all base materials so the players will easily reach 425 as they are making basic refinements, armor parts, insignias, etc. The ascended material refinement at 450 is too slow for my taste and many people may have refined them already so I didn’t take it into consideration.

I’ve compiled the materials you will need to get Armorsmithing, Leatherworker and Tailor from 400 to 500 by discovery alone very quickly (probably 5 to 10 minutes each)

The numbers are based on the method of discovering 28 exotic level 80 armor pieces ONCE you get to 425 by crafting the insignias and doing some basic refining of mats.

You will need to purchase 5 different exotic Intricate Gossamer Insignia recipes from vendor 1st.

After you will craft 6+6+6+6+4=28 Insignias.

Once that is done and you’re at 425, you will be discovering:
5 boots
4 legs
4 coats
5 shoulders
5 gloves
5 helms
28 total different armor pieces to get to 500 in each crafting profession. (Assuming you will not use a crafting booster)

In the chart attached, check the totals for the amount of materials you will need to get all your crafting professions to 500 very quickly.

I hope it is helpful to some fellow players who can’t wait to get their hands on some ascended armor

Cheers and please let me know if you have questions (or I messed up somewhere)

Same GG anet! Maybe you need a better testing team or a PTR maybe??

I am very curious as to how many different forms are included.. If you got one please share..

Signed.. some fractals are just horribly inbalanced and not challenging (just painful)… Even the guy in the twitch preview video was facepalming to himself…

Well I am soon crafting dual incinerators for my human female ele and I jumped at this skin! I was using t3 for her for a year so the effect when I will use incinerators will be awesome! so I for one am very happy

Same problem esp with final boss in the Tower!
