Summary: Celeste and Allona raid the Underworld, beat the marionette, and try to save Lion's Arch. Listen now: Or Watch: http://youtu.be/Wgv6jziPqdI What We Did This Week Allona: GW1 Underworld with Celeste! Marionette many more times Took a new guildie to Ebonhawk and cried at Prof Yakkington’s grave … again. Pre-patch stuff - pirate weapons, moa racing, map completion on alts that were close. LA (Under Attack!). It is very flamey. Finally bought an armour skin. The Flamekissed. I am very flamey. Over-achieved for a clean sweep on the monthlies. Celeste: GW1 Underworld Marionette FINALLY Lots of LA bought the endless mystery quaggan tonic Report from Lion’s Arch Escape From Lion’s Arch https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-18-2014/ https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-February-18-2014 Upon logging in, players level 30 or higher will see a cinematic of the attack on Lion’s Arch. Lower level players will watch this upon entering Lion’s Arch for the first time. Players can rewatch the cinematic by talking to the refugee camp director at any of the three refugee camps located by the Vigil Keep in Gendarran Fields, by the Durmand Priory in Lornar’s Pass, and on Stormbluff Isle in Bloodtide Coast. Note: All characters that were stationed in Lion’s Arch before the attack will be relocated to an adjoining map. (Now.) Allona - Heh … I was ported right into the LA chaos. Map completion remains possible, including waypoints, points of interest, vistas, jumping puzzles, and diving goggles. Just watch out for Scarlet’s troops! For players who need to follow their Personal Story steps, Captain Smash and Bouncer Kinna over by Icegate Gorge in Gendarran Fields will sneak adventurers into Lion’s Arch. Evacuate! Encourage citizens Establish footholds for the 3 biconic groups (Gendarran, Lornar’s, and Bloodtide) Stopping Miasma deployment Escort events New hub at Vigil Keep (along with Havoc’s Airship) Alliance bags: Refugee belongings, spinal shards, child drawings (25 luck), bloodstone dust, potions of slaying, quaggan tonics (temp and perm), airship passes, and Mini Captain Magnus. Celeste: I wonder if Magnus yells out “AUGH My EYES!” periodically :3 Allona: Someone on reddit says he got a precursor from one of the bags! The Belonging … lucky guy. Get group effort bags by rescuing citizens at 100, 300, 600, 1000, and 1500 mark Allona: Oh to reach 600! Celeste: Yeah the highest I’ve gotten is ~500 Stick around for the whole cycle and get a chance at dragonite, champ bags, blade shards, and green items. For players who attain the highest tier, there’s a chance for ascended materials and rewards from previous Living World releases. Celeste: SAY WHAT?! Allona: That is pretty cool, I gotta say. Let’s talk a bit about how it plays - events being concurrent, buffs in the zone, 45 minutes per cycle (roughly), only 3 waypoints, it’s like jubilee but more metered in that they control Spinal Blade Backpiece Allona: I like that the plans for it are multiple pieces that you have to collect, a la the map pieces to make Koris Deeprunner’s treasure map in GW1: EotN. Celeste: More back pieces…. really?! Selfless or Thoughtless potions (250 heirlooms and 10G) Additions to the Black Lion Chest: There is now a rare chance to get a Mini Marjory Delaqua or Mini Mai Trin from the chest. For a limited time, every chest also contains a guaranteed stack of 5 Bags of Alliance Supplies.
