Guild Wars 2: Tequatl Rising Coming September 17th

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

The first information about the next Guild Wars 2 update has been released on the official site. Called "Tequatl Rising", the update will feature the return of an evolved Tequatl, new rewards, new WvW features and much, much more.

Something’s gotten into Tequatl the Sunless. This ancient dragon, scourge of the Splintered Coast, has become more formidable than ever, with an arsenal of new attacks and lethal tricks at its disposal. To stop this rampaging beast, you’ll join forces with old friends and new allies in a desperate battle where failure is a very real option. Tequatl has risen – and it will take an army of players to bring it down!

Read more on the Guild Wars 2 site.

    Looking forward to see how they play. :)

    Looking forward to the new LFG tool as well as the new addons to WVW. GW2 just keeps on getting better! :)

    Depends.  Think they'd allow me to use a board made out of a Karka shell?

    Since when is Tuesday a direction?

    New update sounds amazing with the new boss fixes and then of course the new drop system for Tequatl. I will be waiting to do the that plus the group finder is going to help alot.

    The LFG tool is what's going to finally bring me back. I grew so sick of going on a website to find people for a dungeon.

    So wierd, yesterday I was thinking that they should redo one or two of the bosses and turn them into "scarlet like" zone events with different tactics in different areas.  Even with a god of war like instance battling on top of hte dragons

    WvW gets flame ram mastery!

    Are they serious?

    I just can't get interested in this game anymore until I see some major effort put into WvW.

    Unless they improve the drops from these godlike creatures, I doubt I will put much effort in to killing them (yet another back item does not mean much to me)!

    At present, the only reason for killing them is for 1 or maybe 2 yellow items, to sell on tp. You NEVER get anything usefull!

    You can get ascendant weapons and the skin will relate to Teq. Also more stuff just naming my main reasons lol.

    So in near future, there will be a reason to kill him. You WILL get something useful!

     

    Hope this help ya, cause that was my worry as well, which is no more when I had heard the news.

    I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.

     They changed the entire zone and added new areas to capture. Do a little research..

    Also a point which a lot have seemed to miss is that you will get minor rewards based on how far you take him down too. Even if you fail you should be able to get something to help make the time worthwhile.

    Oh yea I missed that as well thanks for adding that.

    I guess you missed this then:

    NEW RUINS OF POWER IN WORLD VS. WORLD

    Big changes are coming to the eternal war in The Mists!  Each borderland map in WvW has been redesigned to include five new Ruins of Power—capture points that armies can battle over in order to earn lethal Bloodlust boosts for everyone on their server!

    That would be a negative not a positive.  The new capture points are interesting, but putting bonuses on them that favor whatever server can afford to hold those points plus operate normally is a bad idea.

     I think you need to learn to enjoy games for the gameplay and not just the virtual rewards. I don't care how bad the reward is going to be, I wasn't fighting the dragons because they were lame, easy, and un-fun. If there's some challenge and fun to be had, I'll be participating again.

     

    People need to relearn to play just for the sake of playing.

    IMO

    I only play them because of what they have to drop. This is because IMO they are too dam hard already and not worth the effort. I most likely will go and try it once, once they change it, and when I see that every body is dead (and not just me), I will leave and not try again!

    It will most likely end up like jormag, with every body running to attack at certain times and running away the rest of the time. No real challenge when it is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time to make one attack out of what ever pathetic number of attacks are required to kill the beast!

    So, yes, IMO, make the reward worth the effort (or at least make it playable and not boring)!

    Too hard? They are loot pinatas at the moment.

  • ConleyConley Member Posts: 195

    Dragons too hard? Are you kidding me? They are piss easy right now. That's what they are finally fixing in the next patch. Also the current loot isn't bad at all if you consider the small time investment.

     

    Looking at the video's of Tequatl I'm loving this fight. At last the promise of challenging and complex open world raids is made true.
