Summary: Chris and Celeste talk about Scarlet Briar and her diabolical plans to get everyone to spend money on the Black Lion Trading Company. Join us to see if we're surprised the Watchknights are evil now that Clockwork Chaos has erupted. Listen now: What We Did This Week Celeste: Mesmer from 51 to 56 Closing Ceremony and Frostgorge Sound invasion, tried to get to other invasions in time but always seem to end up on an empty overflow or an overflow where everyone is complaining about the fact that they’re in overflow Chris: Ground some Queen’s Jubilee Took part in some of the zone wide invasion event in Lornar’s Pass Report from Lion’s Arch The Queen’s Speech is now Clockwork Chaos https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/august-20-2013/ Full vandalism by Scarlet revealed If you’ve done the first instance, “Closing Ceremony” then you would’ve noticed that the Queen’s Speech never even really happened.
