This new? Teaser trailer Gates of Maguuma

From what I can tell, the Sanctum was already in flight when attacked, so my guess is that it went down IN Maguuma. We're probably going to Maguuma to rescue survivors and survey the wreckage. That makes sense as an initial motivation, rather than just "oh let's check out this new area". It raises the stakes and sets up the next part, which will probably be revealed when we reach the crashed sanctum and learn who was responsible.

Hmm yeah, something

This is pretty much all that I gathered from it too. The ship will be sabotaged and Destiny's Edgier will be the leading player populace response team. But it's a big desert out there...


Final fuckingly, but since they'd hype it up on a stream beforehand I don't expect it to be done for like two months.

Looks like the main one to me.

Also it does not get shot down, it looks like it explodes from the inside.

Actually . i remember that Taimi noted in labyrinthine cliffs that she is getting strange readings from certain crates .

Those might be what causes the explosions .

Seems like one of my main complaints about season 1 is being changed in season 2: doing the content at your own pace.

How's the guild these days? I haven't logged in in some time. Anywhere to catch up on changes and things that have happened?

The guild is amazing as always. Oh and Kos announced he's leaving July 17th for DestinyGAF, so it will get even better.

This makes me happy.

My current goals before Season 2 starts which will probably soak up everyones time, including mine:


  • Get more to grips with dungeons and fractals since I'm still quite a newb with them.
  • Finish personal story on at least one of my toons (even though I'm not sure what the benefits are)
  • Get my Warrior to level 80 (I'm almost there)
  • Get my fill of the Bazaar before it..it.. gets destroyed :'(

Goatboy, get online so we can level!

This is an old link, but the security and account safety tips are good to keep in mind.

I could be wrong, but I think those Bandits have been there for a long time. I seem to remember seeing them over a year ago.

Sad thing is that I do not think they are even using that portal. It looks like the portal will probably on South West part of Brisbane not the North West.

is this bandit fixing the bridge thing old? because, if you go there, youll see lots of supply scattered and there are people digging the ground, they even setup a turret and theres a quartersmaster event that happens in that area.

the way things are lively on that spot, i am thinking they've been like this for a long while already, not even related to this update.

you might be right kos.
 
I love how when there are people "fixing" things in the world, such as the bridges in LA, it's just an Asuran hitting a hammer on the spot for days. If only it were that easy to fix things xD

Looking at the way the zephyrites build stuff, it seems perfectly reasonable.

The charr alternative is "think it has enuff cogs? What? Are you daft? Obviously not. Add some more. Oh, and make it have at least 3 rotating chimneys".
Norn, on the other hand, go "Ice, nature's concrete. Add some gargantuan wood monstrosities, freshly extracted from our nonexisting forests, and you're set!"

I only wonder about the quaggan...how the heck do they build those underwater houses?

norn is more like, carved wood or leather.

norns dont have houses or cities, they only have steads which is the equivalent of a Inn.
 
Eat mud. Poop mud. Layer mud. Live in mudhut.
I like this theory.
Quaggan habitats shall henceforth be referred to as Poop Palaces.

I'm aware. Norn are even more communist than the dredge.

Actually...huh
Dredge are communist. So are the Skritt. So are the Norn, but socialist. Sylvari probably find the whole concept of scarcity wholly foreign. Charr are intensely socialistic, always thinking at the very least of their warband as a whole. Kodans are For The Greater Balance superreligious collectivists. Hmm

Also, the wiki clarified the quaggan bit. It's corals and seaweed. I choose to interpret this as infant sylvari bones and hair.

Its not the real Maguuma unless 12-15 scarabs spawn every other step. Or Spiders. Or Devourers. All with poison/blind/whirling/vamp. Also entire flocks of Wind Riders.

Bring back the magic, ANet.

My gift isn't crafting a single great pun, it's taking a simple subject and doing as many puns as possible, rapid fire. I'm much more obnoxious that way =p

Retro, I'm thinking of buying a commander tag. Whadya think? I still haven't heard a definitive answer on whether or not it soulbinds. The book thing you buy is account bound.. but can you move that around between characters?

The one thing we desperately need more of on guild nights is commander tags.

I haven't used mine much since I can't break the habit of being the rearguard during missions. I'm sure I'll get use out of it in the future.

The tag is soulbound to one character on use.

norn are nothing, they are just free. they dont have ties to the land, they dont have a king, they dont really follow any social rules.

they are literally free spirits, their home are in the wild, they only come back to steads to rest, then leave. the only thing in their lives are their own saga. HECK norns dont even have fixed names. they can change their names to adapt to their legends.

the quaggans make their homes of what for us is wood and stones. so corals and seaweed;

sylvari grow their homes, like... put a seed, water it up a bit, wait a minute and its done, just like caith did in TA story.

PS: there is no such a thing as sylvari infant.

I see the coral and seaweed on the outside, but there's another material lining the inside of the homes. I'm in one right now and it's a smooth surface with irregular lines that appear as veins or skin tissue segments. It's clearly modeled after images of teepees draped with buffalo skins. Thus it appears that quaggans are lining their home interiors with some type of animal flesh.

Ahh right so if I got it I'd need to pick a 'main' so to speak. Hmm.

Guys, this Asura is awesome.

That is a pretty fly Asura.. I rate him 9/10.

The difference between High Shadows and Ultra Shadows:

Wow I need to change my shadow settings to ultra.

's called anarchism. Damn radical leftist norns.

And of course that's what the pale tree would say. Bad enough that the freaking quaggans use their children as construction material, gods know what would happen if the other races got in on the action too.

Really have to just stay away from r/games posts about GW2. The thread about the new trailer is just a bunch of nerds crying that the game is an MMO.

.... that doesn't make sense. Would would they like it to be, a single-player game like Elder Scrolls? Back to the Multiplayer RPG style of GW1? The best part about GW2 is getting on and playing with and/or against real people, and more than a party full at a time. It's surely not a subscription or gear grind that's turning them off.
 
Did they recently re-add the "Defend your Supply Caravan" events in WvW? I was on vacation for a week and I don't seem to remember them before they were removed after launch.

I was wondering that too. What about the trailer makes someone go "Oh that looks cool but it's a shame it's for an MMO". Maybe they don't realise it is a non-subscription game. MMO's are often synonymous with subscriptions but still.. weird.

Thanks for the fractal and dungeon runs today everybody. I really need to stop tagging along the level 29 fractal runs when my reward level is only 4 :p
 
I really hope a rework of the crafting UI is in the cards this year. Crafting can be a lot of fun, and very useful (especially for kitting out alts), but the entire UI needs a total overhaul.

Yes, I would like to filter by player level restrictions and hide unequipable for current character, for examples. Also, crafting a already discovered weapon automatically crafts required parts if possible.
