TBH that's more paranoia/best practices than anything else. Way it works is any account they can access, they will access, regardless of status. That we got two offissahs hit is most likely just a nasty coincidence.
Using double auth is solid advice and everybody should do it, obv.

There should be an update today.
Twitter gw2 fan sites say there will be Living Story news everyday this week on the guild wars 2 website, starting with the one I linked above.

Just realized after almost 2 years after game release that Durmand Priory members can get additional lore information when examining objects, e.g. a piece of Northern Wall rubble in Plains of Ashford next to the vista. My non-Priory characters didn't get the second text prompt.
The Order of Whispers appears to be the best, with many unique conversations with spies and access to hidden bases. What does the Vigil offer? Never noticed anything unique while exploring, other than access to their inner base.

My skillset is prett~ty limited, and I've not drawn in a long time. The last piece of real art I did was in Feb this year. I should get back on the horse, but I'm still having a slight crisis of faith regarding that whole 'art' thing. I'll see how thing go.
I've been a Priory member since launch, and I never knew this either. Wow. I wonder how much stuff just slips by unnoticed by 99% of the playerbase. They really should add in 'lore tracks' later for the three factions, so people can go back to maps and fill up a lorebook with this stuff.
that feel when there are ponies where you didn't realize there were ponies
That's actually pretty awesome. I'd noticed Whispers stuff but never saw that spot for the Priory. Man, there should actually be event branches you can only activate if you're in a certain order.

Article on interview that was given during E3 I think.

Since I have like a billion level 80 alts now, I guess I should do the 'thing' and park them all at various JP endings.

Personally I think Whispers is kinda failed for being undercover. People know Whispers exist, the legions coordinate with them as well as your mentor, the Pale Tree knows their shit, etc.
Hell, the reveal to The Master was pretty... underwhelming.
I was suspect of Treehorn. This explains why he's only wearing leaves.

Aww, I was out all day and missed the character name talk. Honestly, all I have to say about my character names is that they're all crappy (some of them purposefully crappy) and I made sure to add "Smith" to each of them to keep a common link between them.
The Order of Whispers are like the CIA or MI6. People know of them, and they're prominent enough to have to have public figures. But they aren't a secret organization, just an organization that deals with secrets.
You just made a friend.
I will call you Yogurt from now on.

I should not have shared that translation.
Combat Yogurt.
Considering you love to give out nicknames, I think it's safe to say you are now known as Yogurt Warrior in my eye
Oh god. I like how water looks in the game.. but I'm not a fan of underwater combat so I hope there's not a lot of it.
So here's a question in regards to LS since we are getting nearer to s2:
As i understand it they give a new part of the story every week .
However once you complete that weeks episode are you locked out of trying it again ?
Can you only play the story instance once or will it reset after a period of time so you can run it again ?
If you can only run it once that would be annoying in case you miss anything .

You only have one eye? No wonder you suck at jumping puzzles.Considering you love to give out nicknames, I think it's safe to say you are now known as Yogurt Warrior in my eye
They said bring water to drink, not there will be lots of water. We are going into a desert/waste area. Goddammit Barax.

From the sounds of it, no, you're not locked out of doing the instanced "story" side of i once you've completed it once. They even said, there would be achievements tied to doing them, that were hard, so that implies running them over and over until you've gotten all the achievements.
Bear in mind, Season 2 for Living World is being a bit new for all of us, due to the change in format they're making. So while we can guess a lot of things, nobody's really sure how things will pan out until we see it start.
From the sounds of it, Living World updates from this point forward will generally be two parts. An "intro" story instance for you (and a party?) to do, which lays the groundwork for what that episode is about. Then, there is open-world content to do (new zone to explore? new meta-events in existing zones? etc). Both were, in the past, repeatable (the open world stuff obviously would be), so I don't expect that to really change.
If only that was true and I didn't simply suck at them Yogurt!
No they didn't! Stop lying! They simply said "lots of water".. stop misinterpreterterating information.

Read again you smelly whaler. They were asked what would they PACK for season 2. Pack means bring with you in your inventory.

I think they need to go in that direction at least once. Imagine a fight like Taco, but entirely underwater, where people need to attack from certain directions to do damage, and the vulnerable direction changes.
Hahaha. There's reading between the lines, and then there is Kos. I think.. I think you're a genius.
Patch is up! (100MB) WvW vendorrrrrrr?

Nice to imagine, but with the quantity of particle effects in the game, only way i can see them doing that would be by designating color bubbles around the mobs, unless they are absolutely gigantic. Like you mentioned, taco.
Even then, 3d combat only becomes really interesting when the player is allowed to rotate and move in any axis. GW2 only gives you the ability to move in XYZ underwater (at least afaik), and without rotation, the fun aspect of "which side is up?" is completely lost.
Still, would be great to see them try. Heck would be great to see them try, make it considerably challenging AND make it super rewarding, just to see some cray people walking around with legendary/ascended underwater weaponry.

New weapons are out from the Black Lion Weapons specialist. "Dragon's Jade"
Oh, these are back. Nice. I picked up the shield the first time they came around, it's a great shield.
EDIT: Whoa, changes to the World Boss schedule!

Wait, Dragon's Jade are new? I thought they're old.

I'm not too big a fan of anything I looked at, I didn't have a look at the shield though.
Right. When you log in, the tickets you already had will now be VOIDED. 100 tickets will come through the mail. Don't panic!
Go to the WvW vendor right by where you port in, and talk to him to RECLAIM your WvW reward chest.

I take it that they simply "added" new timeslots for Karka/Jungle/Taco? They still have their usual timeslots, right?
Ah I see
AND WOW THAT'S GREAT NEWS!
They're new for new players.

And people are complaining about the changes to the world boss times, of course.
All the timer sites are going to need to be adjusted again, lol.

Ascended Sclerite Karka Shell isn't a different skin yes? I salvaged mine after realizing that I couldn't upgrade it lol
The original slots weren't changed though right? They simply added new times, yes?

That baffles me. The new schedule is flat-out better. Gods forbid that, with the events happening more often, zones dont get absolutely swamped as much.
Good to see. I didn't often run into that but it was a damn pain when I did.
Lets hope the sites update quickly, aren't a few still outdated from the last time it changed? :L
The WvW vendor gives out quite a lot of stuff outside of Mistforged weapons. The chest itself gives you a Swig of WvW exp which levelled me up a couple of times. You can get Ascended Accesories, Gift of Heroes, Obsidian Shards a Mini Dolyak and infusions amongst other things.

As in the top middle and top right accessory slots? Without laurels or ectos? I could use those over skins.

I like the changes to custom arenas. This should make them much more popular:
Yup, literally named "Accessory" as opposed to ring or amulet. They cost 200 Tickets so you could buy 2 of them with 50 tickets left over for mats or something.
I don't know what to buy. I'm guessing we don't need to grab something straight away?

Forums are filling up with "wah I still didn't get my chest I only got 100 tickets in the mail wtf", when the mail itself says "speak with a Battle Historian in any WvW map to claim your chest".
....
EDIT: Funny, usually the Staff gets the nicer skins. It's pistols that get shafted.

I dunno, this one kinda feels eh compared to their usual GS/Sword/Dagger
But you're right, rifles and pistols do get the shaft.
Yep...every Saturday at 9pm Eastern.. =) See you this weekend!
Are you insinuating with that Video that i should taste Kos and eat him ?
If you feel so compelled... who are we to stop you?

Ended up with quite a nice haul thanks to that WvW meta. Got the Mistforged Dagger, Hero Shield and Mace, bought some WvW sips which got me an Exotic Shield in the chest.
EDIT: Also, from reddit, this is what a Dota 2 whale looks like. Remember, the game is 100% free to play, zero content is locked behind money.
This dude spent over $4000 just buying skins, cosmetic items.
What I could do with that kind of money...
