They are dying but not dead yet. By the time you finish eating...they will probably be dead.

Xeris, if you happen to check GAF before you hit the road, drive safe buddy. Looks like there's snow ahead of you all the way home.
You're literally less than 24 hours away from an update, probably closer to 15. Your beard says you're a man, but your whining makes you sound more like a boy. Like a kitten with a fake mane, pretending to be a lion.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
D'Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Exhibit C:
I just don't what I'm doing with my life anymore.... oh wait, Toypocalypse tonight, so Jira can get his Wintersday cheesemints at the 11th hour. Anyone want to help?

20% off at Amazon (39.99)
Same price at Green Man Gaming, but for the Heroic Edition, which includes: Suit of Legacy Armor, Mithril Box, 18 slot inventory expansion, 10 x Experience Boosters....
Digital from GMG, boxed from Amazon.
Heroic Edition stuff is alright. More inventory space right at the start, and the boosters will help you level, but that's kind of pointless since the game practically throws XP at you. The legacy armor is cosmetic, kind of cool but it's just for looks. But, the Heroic Edition is $39 at Greenman, which is actually the cheapest way to get it atm. Might as well.
Got 2 copies, looking forward to not paying $30 sub fees every month.
What server should we make characters on? Is there one with a good gaf presence and population?
edit: Stormbluff isle it is then!
who knows. anet never really released any info. looks like wurm is getting redone and everyone's favorite villain returns to uncover her super secret totally awesome plans*
and a mini closet**
*lol
**double lol
but really, hope it's good. took a few weeks off ready to grind some cheesemints again. just they never fucking update the god damn shitty UI.
FYI, I talked to Xeris last night, they are watching the weather and will drive safely. Woke up this morning and now they are calling for 9 to 14 inches of snow (it was supposed to be a coating to a few inches the day before last), which is a lot for this area.
Oh, is The Secret World getting patched today too? =p
Scarlet has a giant mechanical watchknight and her thumpers have summoned a new multi-headed wurm world boss in Bloodtide. Beyond that, no clue.
What's wrong with the ui? I've always liked the minimalist approach, the only thing I wish they'd add are percentages to health bars and a Target of Target indicator.
Man it's been a while but... CONTENT DAY TOMORROW

Wish I didn't have to work...I'll have to sneak in during work and play on my laptop if update is up while I'm at work.

I keep playing on and off again (took a two week break... ugh, all those missed dailies)
Decided to liquidate a bunch of my things I didn't feel like keeping, and knew I'd sell eventually (such as my Super Short Bow skin, and Sun Catcher skin), as well as a lot of Silk I had (thanks ascended armor crafting, I guess)
Finally, only a bit further (See: a few more hundred gold)...

When does the update usually come up?
Whenever really- but I'd expect around Noon server time, 3:00PM EDT.

Interesting interview with Colin, http://www.mmorpg.com/mobile/features.cfm?read=8145&game=473&ismb=1
Do not read comments at mmorpg or reddit.
Some hints about what the 3rd big thing will be in this update.

Looks more like a giant portal.
Only then will ANet finally be able to rectify the Personal Story, so that the Living Story can truly exist as a post-story!
Edit: Also, 96G, and 386 Charr Carvings away from Incinerator.
... Finally
There's also a post about the update on ZAM, although there isn't much new information: http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=33701
Main takeaway is the fact that the Wurm boss and the Marionette event won't happen at the same time. They can coincide with Tequatl though.
Personally I hope it coincides with Tequatl if only to get people to split between the two at reset time. Having to be locked into a zone just for a chance at killing the thing is annoying and I'd love it if players could be split up in a positive way.

While I understand that the team probably wanted a break from fantasy concepts after working on them for so long, I still hope that the next arc will be a tad less sci-fi.
It's not that the sci-fi bothers me, it's more that I felt that GW/GW2 had a fairly refreshing take on fantasy. I'd like to see a return to that, I suppose.

I always saw Guild Wars as sci-fi from the start, even if it was mild sci-fi that walks around in fantasy drag.

They made it pretty obvious with the Asura and their golems everywhere I'd say.
I was hoping to play the update this afternoon; but I may play a bit later in the evening.
It certainly had elements, and I actually liked that about it. But this arc has just been too far in one direction for my tastes. From a wider standpoint, I think it's good of them to mix it up and give us stuff we haven't seen, as now a return to the stronger mystical forces at work in the world will have more impact.
It's not as if I want them to go full fantasy or anything like that (I actually am not a fan of fantasy tropes), but perhaps retreat back into the more interesting conflicts of the world rather than focusing on something so futuristic and otherworldy. The tension between Charr and Humans is endlessly fascinating to me, as is the plight of the Kodan. I still stand by my stance that the Bazaar was probably their best update both story and design wise, not because it added a new world, but because it took elements of existing lore and blended it into new concepts that the world hadn't seen.
I don't look at this as a failure on their part, just a personal preference.

Jesus, finally. That's great.
I'll probably pop in this weekend to see what's up with the update. Let me know if we're planning on doing either event as a guild or something.

Aw, they changed how they lay the page out, which messes with how I was capturing the logo and art to make a giant list.

I only have two minis D:
And one is Scarlet D:

Goodbye ember spam at world bosses. Hah.
It is called "Origins of Madness", for a reason, you know.
Meaning, this update will most likely delve into scarlet's past. Meaning, the secret location is probably one of her labs.
sackboy2197

It may be the place where she "saw" the thing that changed her. Which was a lab.

Same here. I'll actually have minis with me now.

meh no zerker change to Ferocity, i was really looking forward to that, wanted to mess with a new game play mechanic, the living story is just boring i haven't done any of LS metas in months..
Ahh awesome, have there been any reported successes yet?

Not that I know of - only just did one, not sure if it's on the hour or half hour. I think I was in an overflow too.
PSA: Mini-map Drag works (right) like before the Christmas patch!
Also, look how sexy the releases page is now: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/
