Guild Wars Reporter 167 – Like a Shark in a Loincloth!




Guild Wars Reporter show

Summary: Celeste and Allona recap all of GW2's Guild Week, discuss the recent PvP Reward Track news, and touch briefly on the final beta weekend! That's … about it. Audio Version What We Did This Week   Allona Beta’ed! Tried Tempest, Druid, and Berserker. Enjoyed them all for their different playstyles. Loved the Druid. A lot. And I was surprised how much I liked Tempest! Missed Fungeons again this week … curse friends and their birthday celebrations! Streamed just on Saturday morning this week with Celeste and (an unruly) M. (Confession: Sunday turned into pyjama day and no one needs to see that, so there was no stream) Had some INSANE luck with black lion chests! In 10 chests I got two finishers, a ghost pepper node (I already had one so …. yay, money!), and -- ahem -- a shadow abyss dye! WOOOOOO! Guild Missions with Maven! Ran quite a few dungeons with Spirit, Hunter, and a few other Relics folks (and also Haash Tag!). Almost got the the last two achievements to complete Twilight Arbour Aetherpath … almost. Celeste Joined Allona (and M) on Allona’s Saturday stream. It was lots of fun and we were all super delightful. druid’d a lot   Livestreaming Wednesday’s at 9:30pm EDT/6:30pm PDT at <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/mmoreporter">twitch.tv/mmoreporter</a>.

I think it’s really cute! A: I like the set a lot, I think it will make the people on GC feel more comfortable.

Guild Initiative Headquarters Need to be repping a guild to enter it, it’s at Postern Ward in Lion’s Arch in case you missed it since the revamp of LA (paraphrased from Dara) “Many of the upgrades for guild halls can be obtained here from the NPCs. Guild Armorsmith, Guild Weaponsmiths, Guild Anvils, Guild Commendation vendors etc are all inside.” Something that they shared was that upgrades for the GHI cost gold and favor Your home away from home before you claim your guild hall This hall only holds 5 people per instance Guild Hall Claiming - to claim your halls, there are 2 npcs that offer you opportunity to fund an expedition (in the initiative) There’s a cinematic that you can see to help preview the GH beforehand The NPC takes your money (100 Gold) and then runs off to buy supplies and provisions for you to be able to take the area back from the mordrem. Should you fail to claim the objectives, you won’t be out of 100G you’ll be able to try it again without paying the fee A: Oh thank Dwayna! After you begin an expedition you have to make your way through the jungle maps to find your guild hall location. Then an event will kick off for you to kill all the mordrem in your hall. This event scales from 5-200 people at the moment. After claimed, you’ll start with a tavern, moving on to the mine that will generate materials for the other buildings/upgrades. Then the workshop is up after that which brings in the opportunity to start Scribing. Guild Treasury Donates into a shared, locked off pool, that will automatically pull for guild hall upgrades Only stores materials that are used for ACTIVE CURRENT upgrades/buildings One thing to note is that this does NOT hold gold. Your Donations won’t let you pop in more materials than are needed, so there’s no way for you to lose stuff to the system Guild Panel g1, g2, g3, g4,
