Guild Wars Reporter Episode 094 – You Got Your WvW In My PvE! No! You got your PvE in my WvW!
Summary: Celeste and Allona rally through Edge of the Mists and gush about the new story instance. Listen now: Or Watch: http://youtu.be/orlW5xaokKI What We Did This Week Allona: Prior to patch: Beat the Marionette! WOOOO! ~does the Dana Carvey Church Lady dance of victory~ Post patch: Done the meta (it’s quick to do, but man they pack a lot of story in) Levelling alts to be able to wear armour they’ve been hauling around, taking up precious bag space Showed diving goggles to new players/guildies and they were witness to my special skill … sigh Celeste: I really don't know how to respond to some of the prompts in a Study of Scarlet... Although it does kinda feel like the devs are trying to get us to theorize on where we think the story could go. I'm sure all the answers are being tallied as well. Canthan New Year in GW1 Report from Lion’s Arch Game Release & Patch Notes https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-04-2014/ https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-February-4-2014/ The story integration of the LW into the Edge of the Mists much smaller than people had thought, to the relief of many (ahem ... Celeste). (Celeste: And yet I still got killed 4 times and haven’t gotten to the parts for Taimi/Scruffy) A Study in Scarlet - go through all the evidence at the Dead End Bar with Marjory, Kasmeer and Vorpp Taimi’s Troubles - Braham is watching over her as she waits for repair components for her golem Unstable Portals - portals to the EoTM are opened up across Tyria Achievements - Do the above. Pretty simple really, but some of them are easier said than done if you’re bad at PvP. Allona: I have really enjoyed the delivery of the story and the growth of the characters these last two patches. I like that you have a pop-up dialogue that you can follow at your own pace but there’s also voiced conversations that sort of mimic what you’re reading, with new tidbits. WvW: EotM - rundown of each region and their mechanics. Overgrowth - buff based on points held Frostreach - snowfall impedes invaders Badlands - automated turrets when points are held by the badlands New Lovestruck weapon skins are available at the Black Lion Weapons Specialist. Allona: Love all these skins. Love. Love. Love. The Permanent Quaggan Finisher is for sale in the Upgrades category of the Gem Store. Allona: I was defeated in EotM by someone using this. I wasn’t even mad. Glory Boosters will no longer be sold in the Gem Store starting February 11, 2014. Celeste: I think this pretty much guarantees that it will be switched over in the “feature-only” releases Allona: Has there been absolute confirmation that these will be a “use it or lose it” item? It might be nice to be able to trade the whacks of them I have in for something else. The Flamekissed Light Armor Skin has returned with a new look. Allona: Love the updated skin. Love. Love. Love. Celeste: I really wish I could use the Light set on my ranger. It looks so pretty! Something not in the patch notes but is worth noting: The “biconics” are no longer at the marionette fight. http://imgur.com/a/duXMA Replaced by Priory members: Aly, Moonrazor(@n8rhymeswith), Jexx(@mr_ex?), Lissah(@Lissahkins?), and Greyback(@KingStGreibach?). (Allona: Good catch!) Lore Om Nom Nom Nom Nom http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/8191/Guild-Wars-2-War-Lore-Edge-of-the-Mists-.html “The investigation is a recap for people who might have missed some previous story points, who might not have been following since the beginning. This is definitely a great place to jump in if you're not familiar with the story or if you've missed a piece. We want everyone to be on the same page leading into the finale.” - Theo Nguyen
