Summary: Chris and Celeste are joined by Jado, our Fellowship Walk Auction Winner, to discuss The Nightmares Within and some hardcore Ask An Asuran questions. Listen now: What We Did This Week Jado: Lots of WvW on Blackgate Server in Leagues. In the Tower as well. Celeste: In the Tower Chris: Kessex Hills with my Mesmer Editing Editing Editing Editing Report from Lion’s Arch Nightmares Within Patch Notes https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-November-12-2013 “Once inside the Tower of Nightmares, players will need to make their way up the tower, scaling three floors of horrifying dangers to reach the heart of the tower—a massive, noxious bloom pulsing with malevolent power. At the apex of the tower, players can enter the chamber protecting the tower’s heart and begin a story instance that can be completed solo or with a group of up to five players.” “Players will participate in a number of new open-world events throughout the structure and encounter the deadly hallucinations and lethal champions of the Toxic Alliance.” “The pieces of the key for this Tri-key Chest can be found on creatures within the Tower of Nightmares, or they can be acquired through trade with Marjory’s Helper Dee back at the Thunder Ridge Camp in Kessex Hills. Players will also receive one complete set of keys in the initial mail from Kasmeer.” “Throughout the Tower of Nightmares, players will find smaller blossoms that resemble the tower’s heart. Within these chambers, players will experience their deepest fears and encounter twisted visions of their past.” Celeste - I ran into Sieran (since I was on my Priory ele) so it was interesting. “The Antitoxin Injected indicator is a representation of the amount of antitoxin that has been pumped into the heart of the tower by the heroes of Tyria and will update periodically.” This appears to be a worldwide indicator. “All permanent gathering tools will now be account bound rather than soulbound. For one week, account-bound versions of the Jack-in-the-Box Scythe and Bone Pick gathering tools will be available in the Services category of the Gem Store for 1000 gems each.” If you’ve been lusting after Marjory’s Dagger, Axe or Kasmeer’s crazy collapsible glowy staff you can pick those up in the gem store for 600 gems each Unlimited Tool Refund https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/bltc/where-do-i-sell-my-23-unlimited-gather-tools/first#post3193057 “Please do submit a ticket. We want to take care of you and everyone else who might be in this same situation. If you submit the ticket and we verify that you meet the qualifications, simply follow the instructions in the support response and we’ll be happy to refund your gems!” Papa Colin tells us why Edge of the Mists is good for Small Servers https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/wuv/wuv/New-Borderland-Map-coming/first#post3050067 “The game is going to be launched in other parts of the world, and on launch in NA/EU we had queues for WvW on just about every world. In some of the largest gaming parts of the world say, China for example which we’re in beta for right now, we’re seeing massive responses from guilds that make NA/EU guilds look tiny. These guilds all want to play WvW on the same world together, this map will help facilitate a better launch in new regions, as well as the much larger guild alliances you find in the east.” “We know for much smaller worlds this may seem like it’s no big deal, since you never deal with queues anyway, but the gameplay and experience should hopefully be fun (and different) such that it may attract new players to WvW. It also opens up opportunities for us to do other types of experiences in WvW across all worlds that may help bolster smaller worlds populations as well.” Ask An Asuran Hard hitting questions this week….
