Can anybody from the development team who is involved with the Tiamat encounter please explain how we start this now so we aren't all wasting our time ? we all enter the place and the quest tracker says 'prepare to fight tiamat' or something along those lines then nothing at all happens , can somebody tell us why it isn't starting? one bit of information we only had 7 or 8 players waiting .
I can confirm that there is currently an issue with the Tiamat fight on the Preview shard. We're working on identifying the issue.
- Once the Tiamat Door is unlocked, on the hour :00, players will have 5 minutes to prepare for Tiamat's arrival
- after 5 minutes the interior room gate will lower and the fight will begin (this is currently not happening on the Preview shard)

what if anyone d/c ? he can reenter in the temple without a problem?
At the moment you can make a regular five man party but after that it is indeed purely random who the other twenty players are , get ready for many "why can people afk in the temple of Tiamat" and " why can't we kick afk people in our Tiamat instance" threads .
Considering the Encounter is on a timer even one afk player could wreck a half hours work , the ability to set up 25 man teams or at least have a choice what other five man teams you enter with is essential .
Yep. People will afk or playing while tabbed just because the system promotes it.
Let people easily go in with their 15-man or 20-man groups at least.

Thanks for letting us know lol , we kept going in and waiting about for 10 - 15 minutes thinking that the fight would begin haha
Potential fix coming soon to the Tiamat fight preparation phase.
Fix in. Should be all good.
This fix also reveals the "Tiamat's Hoard" system. This system allows players to contribute treasures such as Dragon Hoard Coffers toward the war effort against Tiamat. After reaching certain thresholds, all the players on the server who engage Tiamat are given a buff based on the tier they reached; these buffs add up through the maximum tier (4), but after a battle against Tiamat has ended, the reclaimed hoard depletes.
In addition, the higher the hoard tier, the more likely it is that some of the rarest items will drop.
Work with your fellow adventurers to reclaim treasures from Tiamat's hoard and claim riches and victory from the Dragon Queen!
Ok now the fight begins and runs properly but at the end we all got blockaded inside the fight area because as soon as the fight ended the invisible barrier came back up so we couldn't get into the 'lobby/preperation area' and exit the temple , apart from that it certainly seems to be working. If it helps we did fail the fight .

Fail do defeat Tiamat and be entombed in his arena forever! The price of failure!
u need to change it to que or enter as full partys rather then just 1 person here and there, its chaos ppl dont knw wat they are doing and it results in a fail, and that isnt fair on the people who actually do it, their was 5 ppl afking at the campsite please change this coz it is annoying doing all this work for nothing
Your idea of Tiamat was good, execution was very poor. There are several bugs as well as other issues with the event.
1. 25 people, but only 5 to a group.
2. Even grouped, your group members do not get into the same instance.
3. Too dependent on other player's to use Soul gems at the proper time.
4. You have people from many countries, so there is a massive communication issue, even in text.
5. You guaranteed items just for attempting needs to be removed. This is causing people to come into the instance, and just sit idly at the campfire, just for the free stuff. Even as low value as is can usually be, you usually get something that can be used towards Linu's Favor.
6. Minimum Gear Score requirement needs to be increased for this event. Since it's random which instance you and your group members get in, group make up is impossible. I've watched 5-10 10-11k gear score people have trouble keeping the adds for the clerics under control
As much as I was enjoying this game, your haste to release this without proper forethought as to what problems could occur is disheartening.

Or it's a bug. One of the two.
