Guild Wars Reporter Episode 123 – The Sh0rt Sh0w




Guild Wars Reporter show

Summary: Celeste and Allona scour the internet for GW2 stuff to talk about! Scour! Until their fingers and eyes bled! Audio Version What We Did This Week Allona Got the Mysterious Vine completed and now on to Mawdrey … hopefully will have that done this week! Need better foxfire luck though! Wuvwuv’ed … I was terrible and died a lot, but it was a bunch of fun. Fungeoned a few times … including last night … in the middle of the night. It was random and I am paying for it today Related to Fungeons: Got enough Seals of Beetletun for a Gift of the Nobleman … one tiny step closer to The Minstrel ... Bought the eyepatch and pirate outfit when they were on sale. Was super tempted by the home portal stone, but missed it. Bought BL Keys. Got crap. Was irritated. Which made me realize that, if I spent the time and keyfarmed and got crap, I was “Oh well.” but buying them with my real-world-i-could-buy-groceries money it REALLY upsets me when I get poo. My own fault for buying them in the first place, I know... Celeste Personal Story marathon from ch 3 - 6 on my Guardian finished up ch 7 & 8 for my ele, just need to kill Chaitan World Boss train for last week’s stream Worked on collections: spoons, jars, krait and grawl (http://www.guildwars2hub.com/guides/basics/complete-basic-collections-achievements-guide is a great primer) Finally finished shiverpeak explorer, I’ve been at 173/175 for at LEAST 6 months so it’s great to see that off my “almost done” list eotm - 12 ranks in wvw, and from 69-78.5 in levels for my guard (it’s taking a lot of restraint to not login while we’re recording… )   Livestreaming Wednesday’s at 9:30pm EST/6:30pm PST at twitch.tv/mmoreporter.

The stat breakdowns are interesting and actually helped me understand wuvwuv a bit more.   Gaile Gray! Gaile Gray! Gaile Gray! Queen o’ the forums! http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/09/19/gaile-gray-returns-to-the-community-team-for-guild-wars-2/ If you played Guild Wars when it launched, you remember Gaile Gray. Heck, odds are you remember her if you've been at all active in the community for Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2 over the past decade; she's worn many community-facing hats over the years. She's donning a new one now, or perhaps more accurately re-donning an old favorite, as game support lead Michael Henniger recently took to the forums announcing that Gray has moved from customer support to the community team. Community interactions were a large part of Gray's role when the original Guild Wars launched, and long-time fans in the thread are happy to see her making the move. If you had a sudden sweep of nostalgia, you're not alone. A bit more info on Gaile: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gaile_Gray Gaile served as the Community Relations Manager for Guild Wars through the majority of the game's active development. On April 7, 2008, she transitioned to a Support Liaison role covering both games. A: I want a welcome-back frog mini! http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Farewell_to_Gaile On September 22, 2014, she moved back to the community team in the newly-created role of Forum Communications Team Lead.   One week free trial! https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-guild-wars-2-free-trial-week-begins-september-25/ The free trial begins at 12 a.m. PDT September 25, 2014 and ends at 11:59 p.m. PDT October 1, 2014.
