I read that wrong.
We won't be able to go past that since you have given up on it.

They'll nerf it soon enough.
edit: if not with this patch in the next 5 minutes.

They wont nerf it...it's not IMPOSSIBLE to do as it has been done by 4 servers now, it's just not easy mode faceroll on the keyboard and win. It takes very real coordination in order to kill him now which is in line with what you expect when fighting a dragon.

It being possible has nothing to do with anet nerfing it. They'll nerf it because it's currently the living story update and advertising something that is 99% unbeatable to the masses won't cut it. Showing up, dying 10 times, and getting nothing for your time isn't fun. At all.

Speak for yourself. I love it. I even said yesterday that I wouldn't mind if it took us a month.
Not all content needs to be beatable on a regular basis. There are cross-server strategy meetings going on. That's nuts! I love it!
Less than that actually
super, crazy, ridiculous disagree
SBI got it to 60% last time, couldn't get in though
Awesome progress.

I really like hearing that we are improving with every fight.

I like the Teq revamp. I can actually be in PTV gear and be useful with my main Elementalist while my Ice Bows and Fiery Greatswords are being put to good use by others during their cool-downs.
I wonder what shameful server is going to be last to defeat Teq.

SBI because Complistic gave up on it.
I believe in you GAF, and SBI!
My first time hitting the batteries. The fight changes a LOT at that point, and it feels pretty suitably epic IMO. You charge up this huge laser to shoot a dragon and do discernible damage to it. The rest of the time you're barely nipping at its heels.
Basically, the health bar is very misleading. Things like the thief trait Executioner matter a TON for completion in timed fights and we were THIS CLOSE to 50%.
Plus the more damage you do while he's stunned the shorter phase before you hit the next laser charge.... it's pretty well-designed.
I will have his fangs as a souvenir.

I love the new Tequatl.
I think it's awesome that it's hard. One of my minor gripes about this game since launch has been that all the world boss events are lame. Showing up to kill the Shatterer is usually about as exciting as opening an ice cold can of Coke and discovering it's gone completely flat. It's not fun to me to just mindlessly go from autoattack event to autoattack event, collecting rares like I'm ticking off items on my grocery list.
Sure, Teamspeak is kind of a clusterfuck at times but I think it's awesome that multiple guilds and random people are now learning to come together and organize (outside of WvW). You have to contend with overflow issues, but you are not locked out of the event by raid caps or guild membership. Anyone can jump in and help.
I can't wait to see what they have in store for other bosses.

Just as a reminder, this is a very public event and GAF is one of, if not the largest guild on SBI. The other officers and I want to remind the folks who are attending the Taco fight to please be on their best behavior as you are representing the guild in front of a very large part of the server. Try to cut the excessive negativity in map chat, keep comms clear if you're getting on team speak, etc.
Thanks.
Our server is nowhere near as good as the others for Teq... the lowest he's ever been is like 80%. The turrets are still the problem. In my case, I can manage to survive for most of the fight.

We're inching closer, learning each time. Tomorrow night maybe, but I feel like the 1st or 2nd spawn Friday night after reset will be our first time.

i bet all my marks on NSP.
everyone wants to be the hero, nobody wants to follow orders... its a mess, compared to what SBI is... i doubt if NSP can even beat Tequatl.
Haha, you are right. I thought I was the only gaffer on NSP.

Fort Aspenwood got Taco to 52%, a personal best. Let's admit it, it's one crazy and cool fight.

That last one did not go as well as earlier tonight. I get downed more than I should, so I'm not pointing fingers. But as a group, the DPS group has to find a way to stay up. I'm standing by my earlier prediction, SBI beats Tequatl Friday night.
We had a great turnout in TS tonight. We can only get better. TS crapping out that one time hurt us a lot.
This may be the best patch I have seen so far. No farmers, no one complaining about farmers. Just everyone coming together to beat a common goal. Never has failing been so much fun.

Yep. That's exactly what I've seen so far. Once the zerg gets spread out, it's all downhill from there. Do we have too many defenders on the turrets, and that spawns champs? Tuesday night, Hawkian was on the turret I believe. The 4 other party members were there defending him. We had one turret destroyed once on that side, and I think just one champ spawned. Until we're proven wrong, it just feels like too many turret defenders = too many champs spawning.
I love the strategy here. I'm by far NOT the best at the execution, but the strategy? Damn this is fun.
EDIT: Wow missed a huge word there lol!
SoR killed taco with 0 seconds left:

3rd NA kill and 5th world wide.

Technically, ET was the 3rd NA, but Blackgate was wearing them like a cape!
Maybe we should just try a party at each turret wing? If the dps ball can stay a bit away from the other turrets too.
Honestly, we also just lost a lot of people in that 10-11 NA hour. Retrying as an individual multiple times helps the most, and a lot of people in TS for that last attempt were doing it for the first time.
I can feel MYSELF getting better each time though... that's basically all I need to keep going.
All concerns about needing a nerf, group size, trolls, etc. have all evaporated completely; at this point I think it would be ludicrous for them to significantly change the event. However, I am truly concerned that I will simply not be there the first time we get him holy fuck I want to be there so bad.
Do... decently but not exceptionally during the day tomorrow guys.
Buffy on the GW forums right? That's pretty much all they ever say each thread and complain about transfers. Yet they transferred to BP from NSP or some other lower tier server.
they should add in a couple more turrets really. i think that's about it. relying on 6 people is too much imo. what happens later when half the people are doing it?
Once we get it down and it's done every day, people will always be doing it since it's a guaranteed 4 ectos which is 4-5g for ~15 min of effort, then the chance at Ascended weps, unique weapon skins, and mini taco as well as a unique sigil.
for this reason, MAY TEQ STAY THE WAY IT IS.
i dont want GW2 becoming another casualfest like WoW became now.
I hope we get another try at it later today.
I was very very surprised on how fast his health got down after the first laser blast. We can do it. We can probably reduce the number of players defending the turrets. We had champions spawning there, and champions only spawn when there are more than 10 players on each turret base. I myself was defending the North turret battery together with a Commander and a few other players, and I think we did well. We had lots of Risen spawn from the event but the turrets went mostly undefeated. We had a Champion though, and that's a bad sign. As an hammer warrior nowadays, CC is more useful in the turrets that hacking at the feet of Taco.
