Summary: Celeste and Allona spoil everything about the latest patch in this episode. Alternate titles are: "It Was A Thing" or "It Made Me Laugh." Listen now: Or watch: http://youtu.be/miTtDVi-yq0 Before we begin the episode, a brief disclaimer: We will be talking in-depth about the patch and what it means for the story of Tyria. This means that if you haven’t gone through the story instance with Scarlet you will not want to listen to this episode unless you want to have it spoiled. We’ll try to keep it somewhat spoiler free but all bets are off. What We Did This Week Allona: Prior to patch: Rubble Tour with guildies (had to have two groups!) Ran with Richie, AKA BogOtter, for his last GW2 stream for Massively Accidentally bought a SECOND gift of blades recipe (like a boss!) Finally made the exotic spinal blade backpiece. Now to get a profession to 500! Got my March monthly by the 4th! Had to rethink my build for the new LA fights Beat Scarlet! Totally cried during the last cinematic Celeste: Self-imposed rubble tour by following people Dailies! took engi from 35 to 47 (LA, crafting) Beat Scarlet with my buddy Crimm, we weren’t expecting to win at all (heh) Report from Vigil Keep Battle For Lion’s Arch https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-4-2014 While the Captain’s Council oversees relief efforts, the Lionguard are making preparations for a counterattack. Also, heirlooms and found belongings can still be turned in for items. Scarlet has secured different areas of the map by deploying her champions. Aetherblade Admiral Aetherblade Cannoneer Toxic Warlock Toxic Spider Queen Molten Fire Shaman Molten Munitions Specialist Assault Knights: Arriving on each hour, Scarlet’s legendary assault knights will show up at three locations and hover for several minutes before descending to attack. Grand Piazza Moran Memorial Gunnery Range “Defeating the three assault knights simultaneously is the key to reaching Scarlet’s airship, the Breachmaker.” Legendary Assault Knights will drop 5 Deluxe Gear Boxes and a chance at an Assault Knight Power Core, which can be used to color the Tempered Spinal Blades back item. Allona: I checked these out in-game (a player was linking them) and they make all the difference to this backpiece! “Be sure to pack consumables, food, utility buffs, and a favorite finisher. This may be our best and only chance to put a stop to Scarlet’s villainy.” Celeste: I totally used my Quaggan finisher :3 Allona: All bunny, all the time! “For the brave who battle their way to the Diverse Ledges, they can meet up with Lionguard Turma. Her latest scouting report states that she’s found a new type of portal but is unable to access it without special equipment derived from Scarlet’s technology.” In case you can’t get your server/overflow to beat the knights you’ll be able to equip the backpiece (AT ANY LEVEL) and enter a portal to beat up Scarlet in a story instance. Players who ascend to the Breachmaker and finish the story will earn a new title and a unique helm skin to display proudly. Not only that, but by defeating Scarlet’s defenses, players will additionally earn several masterwork and rare items ... and a rare chance for one of two new unique rifles. http://youtu.be/sk5SU0-3qAk http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1zmj9u/holo_fight_read_this/ “If you manage to get all 3 holos dead at about the same time (theres like a 30 second to a minute window) they will reform into the prime holo instead of splitting into the 18 smaller holos. This can save you a significant portion of time, and it bypasses one of the harder parts of the fight.” Thanks indigo121! http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1zksr9/someone_with_more_engineering_experience_will/ Engineers get exclusive dialog when accessing the panels in the Breachmaker (from katubug)
