Listen now: What We Did This Week Celeste: Lost Shores Letdown - Friday’s event was most unplayable but at least started on time, Saturday’s was confusing and somewhat broken, Sunday I just avoided it completely Sylvari Ele Story quests are pretty fun! Joined the Priory. Chris: Leveling grind to level 76! Thanks to the guild mates who helped me out for our 3 hour leveling sprint. Got from Level 66 to level 74 in one night, and hit to level 76 on my own. Tons of fun getting zones complete, and I’m addicted to my personal story.
