Summary: Celeste and Allona are back to recording on Wednesday nights and talky talk about GW2 a day earlier than the official <a>Shiro reveal</a>. They also discuss the previous (lengthy and awesome-audio-guys-filled - no bias here) Points of Interest, and the Revenant/Stronghold beta weekend! Audio Version What We Did This Week Allona 16k chest! Guild missions with Maven Chugging along with map completion on my warrior. Bought all the karma recipes for the Godskull weapons. Holy crap! They all take large skulls! No wonder the weapons are so expensive to buy from the TP! PvP a bit - only one match in Stronghold (left it up to chance!) Played around with Revenant. Opened all three chest of materials at once - BAD IDEA Fungeons and Fractals on Saturday! Again, they went really smooth … even with the addition of agony in fractals. MoCK is stepping up our game! Had a bunch of people on Tuesday night (randomly). Ran two groups around Malchor’s for daily and then ran a couple fungeons (I only took part in the first …). It was a really good night! Celeste 400 on weaponsmith, 114% magic find (I’d slowed down a LOT on salvaging), got up to 2 +5AR infusions Collections: worked on ogre (which I had to farm the ogre tooth for), krait, and godskull sets Revenant Silverwastes and PvP (even if it was only on Monday morning) Have tried to do Meeting The Asura completely stealthed about 10 times and get detected every single time in the boss room. Did TA Fwd path with Romo and his guildies before the show Livestreaming Wednesday’s at 9:30pm EDT/6:30pm PDT at <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/mmoreporter">twitch.tv/mmoreporter</a>.

Report from Lion’s Arch Points of Interest 25 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9PQjWoPV4">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9PQjWoPV4</a> Rubi, Colin Johanson, Hugh Norfolk, Joshua Davis, Drew Cady (Sound Designer) and Jerry Schroeder (Sound Designer), Andre Becker (Overwolf App Design Winner), ROM (Orange Logo), Helseth (Civilized Gentlemen) and Chaith (The Abjured) Changes in the definition of beta across the industry Colin: “people write full reviews for beta weekends and to some degree making purchasing decisions [based on those]” Rubi: “people are upset because the game is not finished” Changes to Revenant Staff and Ventari Very healing-based core build C: Personally. I felt like the staff healing bobbles weren’t large enough to see easily The option to get gear that’s customizable A: The option to get them ALL AT ONCE AND OVER FILL YOUR INVENTORY! C: Yes, This. Also a lot of this. Revisions on the Holy Trinity Stance Colin: We never said we don’t want to have the, you know, dps, tank and the healer in the game and I think that’s a common misconception. We never said we don’t want those things. What we said is we don’t want people locked into one of the roles forever.” I.E. You’re a ___ you must ___ for encounters. That’s what they were trying to avoid. This whole issue and the reason that gw2 avoids a straight healer like gw1 had was because people don’t want to “wait for fun” by waiting for their group to have a healer or for a group’s fun/experience to be dependent upon one person doing a specific task/role/job. Why humans only? VO & Animation for other races hasn’t been completed yet. Doing beta events on live is “mindblowing” C: +1 Beta character gets a copy of your account, everything is added to that copy but that copy doesn’t get added back to your account when the beta character is wiped at the end of the weekend. A: I wish I had watched POI sooner to better understand this because I would have used a BUNCH of transmutation charges. 9 months to fix culling C: OMG. That’s crazy pants!
