Summary: Chris and Celeste are trying to be enthusiastic but the truth is we'd rather be in game and exploring the new Flame and Frost: Prelude patch. Listen now: What We Did This Week Celeste: Levelled my necro to 10 Levelled my ele to 38 Chris: Zone completion! Finished up Wayfarer Foothills. Had to use gw2cartographer.com Also did some waypoint running in Orr. Managed to snag a few on the way to my story. Finished another major instance in my personal story. Still loving it. Don’t see why people hate Trehaerne so much. Lion’s Arch Report Today’s Patch Notes https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/news/Game-Update-Notes-January-28-2013 Living Story implemented, new title, new cheevo, currently diessa and wayfarer only “ It is now possible to receive your own level of loot from any level of enemy.” great news for those that enjoy going back to old zones or helping friends level “Gem fees for world transfers are based on the population of the world you are transferring to” o.O Preloaded character models to reduce the effects of culling in wub The whole section on Orr, thank the five gods. In response to a wide variety of people using golem in a box in wvw and not just the quaggans from last episode, golem in a box will be regulated for use out of wub “In PvE, if a player is awarded loot by killing a creature and the loot is of uncommon rarity or higher, a chest will appear that contains the loot that would previously have been on the corpse. If the rarity of the loot on the creature is lower than uncommon, the loot will remain on the creature’s corpse.” what? this is also listed for wub changes as well “The Orichalcum vein in Southsun Cove is now a regular vein instead of a rich vein.” “Fixed a bug where aquatic ranger pets could sometimes get on land.” “Siege is no longer usable while inside a WvW jumping puzzle.” legendary weapon animations and visual effects have been altered, hopefully they’ll be on youtube shortly though Dreamer has already been exposed as now shooting unicorns and rainbows New Laurels Explained https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/new-rewards-and-the-achievements-system/ non-agony rings from fractals 1 per daily completion, 10 per monthly new ui is super handy so far but appeared to be lagging behind the Hero panel New Items from the BLTC https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/new-items-and-an-updated-favorite-in-the-gem-store/ I thought there were going to be more than 2 new items with the update but apparently that’s all there was backpack for 300, broom for 250 revamped box o fun sounds interesting but probably still isn’t a buy for me though at 80 gems I might try it in a moment of weakness Dungeon Changes https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/robert-hrouda-on-upcoming-changes-to-dungeon-mechanics/ no more wp to kill king adelbern in AC SM I think this was already active with fractals? or some of the fractals at least. I find it kind of annoying but I understand why they went in this direction upcoming boss encounter revamps WvW Server Rank Reset https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Coming-Soon-WvW-Rating-Reset/first#post1313585 Feb 1 reset to rank between servers Ask An Asuran Scrying Pool Column About Sylvari’s Origin http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=31628&storypage=1 A bit spoiler-y if you’re under level 11 on a sylvari but otherwise totally worth the read tells the tale of the other sylvari tree that exists elsewhere along with the origin story of the tree’s seed and ronan Tales of Tyria Quaggan Hippo Love Affair https://twitter.com/barefootmatthew/status/295042149731405824/photo/1 Special thanks to all the community managers out there, we know our episode won’t be releasing today but we wanted to express our gratitude for your excellent work anyways!
