Guild Wars Reporter 163 – Feral Faren?

August 27, 2015

Celeste and Allona managed to talk for an excessive amount of time about a ton of GW2 news and somehow never even mention the Thief elite teaser image (AKA the Daredevil)!

What We Did This Week
 

Allona

Forgot to mention on last show, I picked up a couple Dwayna weapons - the greatsword and pistol … still seriously eyeing two more from the set, more news as events warrant
Missed Fungeons and Fraggles this week
Also missed Relics of Orr’s Plants vs Zombie event. :(
Didn’t lose guild missions with Maven … even with my 10 second penalty!
Anet took a healthy chunk of my paycheck this week: nabbed the Account Jump Start AND the Wedding Attire … which is now on every character on my account.
Allona got her 3rd birthday present! FINALLY decided on Glint’s Isolation dye.
Finished the Godskull weapons JUST TONIGHT! I had a few large skulls donated by guildie, Romo … and after several bare farming runs I just bought the last 8 I needed through buy orders on the Trading Post

Celeste

Finished Bandit and Krait weapon collections
World Boss train
3rd Birthday on Ostara, I got the Rosewood dye because it looks pretty good on leather.
Ran around on my warrior for a while still haven’t found the fun of it yet but I’m trying!

A: We should get an all warrior party together for funsies!

Patch Notes
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-August-25-2015

Ogre Wars Meta fixes in Fields of Ruin
Fixed a bug that prevented minions from quickly targeting your attack target.

You’ve got to wonder if this was found out by someone attending PvZ

Various Profession bug fixes
Practice Button has been removed from the UI in PvP
Ranked arena now requires you to be Rank 20 before you can enter
New players will no longer need to complete a tutorial before entering the HotM

A: I think this is a good move … it was scary and daunting, although the intention was the opposite

WvW

“Fixed a bug that allowed Superior Arrow Cart and Guild Arrow Cart skills to ignore line-of-sight checks.”
“Edge of the Mists: Fixed a bug that allowed players to delay the Mechanical Siege Devourer transform by using items like tonics and instruments.”
“Service NPCs have been switched to a noncombatant team to prevent them from being killed through various exploits.”
“Players will now be killed if they travel too far outside of the playable space on the maps.”

Fixed a bug that allowed players to rally off mesmer clones.
Fixed a client crash that occurred when players stopped spectating rangers in PvP.

C: LULZ. You MUST watch only the rangers :P

Fixed a bug that allowed players in stealth to be finishable by enemies.

A: A seriously amazing outfit set. Before this the only outfit that was different culturally was the Cook’s outfit (which is the main reason I love it). BUT the wedding attire is different for each race AND gender! So good.
A: This is a good segue for something I’ve had a note on my computer about for a long time. Single outfits for Charr and Asura. I don’t mind when there’s no gender difference between them,
