Summary: Celeste and Allona discuss Scarlet and the fembot once more while fending off the advances of the wurm in Bloodtide Coast. Watch On Youtube: http://youtu.be/qVzBsHGTH34 Listen now: What We Did This Week Allona: Run around house flailing when new patch started downloading Five attempts at marionette so far (got to 4/5 chains down on the last try) Two attempts at wurm Found the secret lair, but need waaaaay more power cores Hunting thumper probes for said cores (and cheevo) LOVED the story instance in LA (I mean, who hasn’t loved it, really) Rethinking the basic ore node for the home instance … Damn you Wooden Potatoes! Celeste: CoF P3 - 20 minutes or more spent trying to climb through a hallway filled with bombs Story Instance - I really loved being able to see all the characters interact that we’ve very slowly gotten to know in-game over the last year. Taimi kind of came out of left-field for me though. She’s interesting but also, I feel like she needs to die and I mean that in a very non-mean way. (Post show update from Allona: Here is where I read the info about Taimi: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/8145/Guild-Wars-2-Changing-What-It-Means-to-Create-Play-an-MMO.html) Probes - An exercise in who will get there first, perhaps best done in an empty overflow? Marionette - Argh, why won’t you die?! I did however manage to get in to fight for the chains twice so far. Wurm attempt - Was in an overflow and the event was about to start, got the prompt that Toast main was open and got transported to an overflow where the event never triggered and was empty. I was a sad panda. I don’t trust the queue system anymore. So far only TTS has managed to get to Phase 2 of the fight. (Yes really.) Decapitated, floppy wurm heads. Report from Lion’s Arch Origins of Madness Update https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/january-21-2014/ Wurm is permanent Marionette is semi (Celeste: I can’t find the article that I remember this from but it was said that the fembot will be available until it doesn’t make sense with the living world.) Wurm-themed ascended armor, it’s got a green glow-vapor-type effect As an aside, what do you think of new living world logo and page setups? (Allona: I like the logo. Separates the dragons from the LW in a tangible way.)
