Summary: Tangled Paths patch has dropped! Celeste and Allona talk about it! They have fun! And a small rant. (Psst … spoilers) Audio Version What We Did This Week Allona Played a lot in the Silverwastes … the more I’m there, the more I like it. Achievement Saturday! Marathoned a TON of achievements (story and zone) and am a mere sliver away from my 12.5K chest … like, around 15 points. Bought T3 cultural armour for the very first time. For my wee Asura necro. She looks AMAZING and I don’t regret that it took half my money. Did guild missions with Wardens of Destiny AND Maven … Tons of fun and both great groups of players. Played Tangled Paths. More on that later in the show. Celeste Messed about in Silverwastes, got the lost badges cheevo done, got 8k chest did some cheevos on the older LS episode. Got super upset about the patch and the way it unlocks living story episodes. I promised Ben I’d log in to his account to unlock the living story chapter, he’s been on a break because he doesn’t want to progress in the story until he can replay season 1. (Yes He knows it’ll take a LONG time before this happens), I logged in on Tuesday morning, WAY before the patch is set to launch and Echoes of the Past was already locked behind the gem paywall. I understand that 200 gems is cheap, but I DID log in before the next patch. So it’s frustrating to see that this is the way it works when it was advertised differently. “Please keep in mind the chapter Echoes of the Past ended on November 18th. After that day, any player who would like to play it needs to pay 200 gems. Thank you for your understanding on the matter. Should you have any other doubts or concerns, please let us know.” When I asked for clarification as to when (time-wise) I would need to log in in order to prevent the problem from happening again I was told that information would/could (it wasn’t clear) not be made available to me. Best advice? Log in on the day of the patch, every time. Playing through Episode 6, Tangled Paths Livestreaming Wednesday’s at 9:30pm EST/6:30pm PST at twitch.tv/mmoreporter.

Report from Lion’s Arch Patch Notes http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2014-11-18 The war against Mordremoth rages on in the Silverwastes as a new mystery arises. The Zephyrite Master of Peace has taken his precious cargo beyond the front lines. Where has he gone, and what answers will he give if he’s found? With the release of "Tangled Paths," players can continue to build their Carapace and Luminescent armor sets by collecting the light, medium, and heavy gloves. Carapace gloves are obtained by completing the new Silverwastes reward track, completing the storyline, and exploring the Silverwastes. No longer do you get another chest with completing the story on an alt… to be fair though, people have reported getting the chest that contains them from doing open world events and from opening chests in the labyrinth. (More information: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2mrbb6/psa_carapace_glove_boxes_drop_from_the_nightmare/) Explore the newly discovered labyrinth, and find nightmare pods full of rich rewards. The greater nightmare pod contains rare and masterwork gear, dragonite ore, and a chance to discover new recipes for Bountiful and Furious Maintenance Oils, Sharpening Stones, and Tuning Crystals. To open them you’ll need to combine a nightmare fragment (found in the labyrinth) with a bandit skeleton key. Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug that prevented players from assigning, removing, or reassigning healing, utility, or elite skills while in a cosmetic transformation (e.g., during the siege of Ascalon in the Urban Battlegrounds fractal). A: Yay! I had this happen in the Thaumanova fractal and it was irritating.
