Lion’s Arch Report Celeste: Overflowing issues time alert/clock cancelling skills while in mid-cast exploring for levels in-between after getting all the hearts filled and trying to move on pet peeve: a section of Lion’s Arch was blocked off highly intuitive, I’ll remember the key bindings until the next weekend probably some events would only trigger if there were at least 3 players in the vicinity, could be a problem later ascalon catacombs or some other dungeon would’ve been really nice to see more than the first room :P Chris: Overflow - awesome yet not perfect.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 19 – Comment to Earn a Beta Key! | This week we're gearing up for our first beta weekend event in Guild Wars 2. Find out which server we'll be on, our extremely scientific process of answering our Ask An Asuran questions and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win one of two beta codes. One entry per person please; we don't want a digital stampede! What we did this week Celeste: Presearing, nightfall hm, canthan hm, minipets trading, and finding help at Embark Chris: Working on my elementalist - BOOM!

As of yet, we still have a placeholder date of feb 2013. no news from arenanet/soesbee otherwise. What sort of server types will be available? for example designation of RP has been frowned upon by CM Martin Kerstein positing that it would be a managers nightmare trying to keep up with all the likely infringing players. I personally think the community would end up policing itself. Other designations of PvE or PvP have not been publicly approved as of yet. What's the story behind region locked servers? http://guildwars2pc.com/2012/guild-wars-2-region-lock-and-what-it-means-for-your-access/ How many characters in the abbreviation for guild names? based on the size of the entry area on the guild pane/tab I don’t believe you’ll be able to input more than 4 characters for the abbreviation Will guild names be per server or gamewide? Since all press were added to the Heroes of Tyria guild during the CBT weekends, I believe that guilds may be game wide as a opposed to serverwide. Or perhaps they made all the press be on one particular server while the rest of the unwashed masses were confined to their own servers. If I was JUST jumping into GW1, thinking I can do some title grind and get me some of those sweet bonuses that veteran GW1 players are getting, about how long do you estimate I have to get most, if not all, done? Do I even have a chance? I believe that with dedication and a firm daily playstyle you should be able to get 20/50 easily.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 18 – Water Metaphors | Chris and Celeste reunite to discuss the massive deluge of Guild Wars 2 information that stockpiled from the last closed beta test weekend. We meander through beta information, microtransactions, the character creator, and debate if you should buttonmash to win. All this and more from this week's episode of Guild Wars Reporter! What we did this week Celeste: Presearing up to level 10, sunspear farming, april fools time travelling, and some other mmo that shall not be named Chris: Came back from vacation right into an assignment for PCG, so I haven’t been in game at all! Been busy reading all of the GW2 news that’s been coming out though.

They’ve said that you can monitor chats from a guild that you are currently not displaying but you can only view one guild’s chat at a time (I could be wrong on this). Excessive googling didn’t provide fruitful results.

Send us an email! If you’ve got a burning question for our Ask an Asuran segment, please let us know! Email I am a new player to guild wars. I jumped on the band wagon very late after playing WoW for 6 years and growing tired of the same old thing. I originally bought guild wars for the extra goodies you could earn for Guild Wars 2 but have found that I am enjoying the game immensely. My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing in this game! I have no friends that play, no guild and aside from the wiki or a Youtube video here and there, I have no one to ask for help. The more I play the more I realize how difficult the Guild Wars 2 points are to get and it is disheartening to find that unless you have in game money to spend, a group of friends and a thorough knowledge of the game you aren't going to be able to achieve much of anything :(. I have been listening to you guys for a couple months now and you give off a kind and helpful vibe, so I thought "Why not!" and decided to ask for your help/advice. I am currently still completing prophecies (questing around Lion's Arch). If you have any advice for a newbie on where I should be heading in the game or where I should start for points (if you think I can even get any before release) please reply! I have looked at the points calculator on GuildWars2.com and honestly have no idea what on earth all the items on the lists are. I'm lost, help me! Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling email. :) Kailey | 4/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 15 – The Winds Blow Through | This week Chris and Celeste play Guild Wars a lot! We answer a ton of questions including a guide to get to 32 points on your Hall of Monuments. Hear about the new community managers, the responsibilities of gamers, and all about part-three, the conclusion, of Winds of Change. Join us during this episode for added baby screaming ambients, Celeste rambling, and a good dose of altholism from Chris. What we did this week Chris: Finished Factions - Thanks for the help Celeste! Started Winds of Change I think I need to start working on Epic Skills, as I’m finding some of this content just too hard without it. Celeste: Helping Chris and Winds of Change Lion’s Arch Report http://www.arena.net/blog/mikus-tale-winds-of-change-part-three http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/02/13/guild-wars-winds-of-change-concludes-on-a-high-note/ http://vigilantfans.blogspot.com/2012/01/consequences.html GW2 teaching kids/gamers responsibility http://www.guildmag.com/guildmag-special-zhaitans-secrets a editorialized piece with jeff grubb about zhaitan http://huntersinsight.com/2012/02/02/arenanet-fattens-up/ New CM Rubi Bayer http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/call-arms/ Fostering the GW2 Community to be supportive and friendly http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/exclusive-screenshots-pvp-scholar-armor-lobby/ http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/gwi-exclusive-gw2-pvp-action-armor-pets/ Screenshots of pvp armor and pets Ask an Asuran Hi , I have a two part question . First , is it true you can carry your character's name from Guild Wars to Guild Wars 2 . And is it any character from your account or do they need to have certain titles. Secondly , in Guild Wars 2 . Do the races have the same skills , if they are the same profession . Like a Char Ele and an Asuran Ele . Enjoying the show , keep them coming. Dave the Knife ( in game name ) http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=258530&postcount=7 Yes they carry over through your hall of monuments (this will happen when account linking is enabled), but give a look at this particular post about how your name could be adapted for the five races of Tyria. Let me expand a bit on the Ten-slot skill bar. The first 5 are determined by your weapon and profession. Then comes the your dedicated healing skill, based on profession. 7-9 are utility and can be based on profession or race. the 10th slot is your elite and can also be based on profession or race. these skills are chosen through a pop up menu when you are allotting them. What sort of release schedule can we expect for expansions? Based on Guild Wars we should be seeing new expansions at least yearly with new content added more regularly. I think it will be closer to every 4 months or so that we’ll be getting new dungeons (etc) for microtransactions or even for free. What does “endgame” look like for Guild Wars 2? Okay, you’re seriously trying to stump me. The best I can say is that they’re won’t be endless raiding. We don’t really know!

Email Hi, this is Chris just saying thanks for the response. I was definitely not expecting to hear it (in a literal sense). Just wanted to apologize if I came off as condescending at all; it was not intended to be so in the slightest.(my wording choice was poor at best) There are so many new players lately; more than ever from what I can tell. Glad to see more people enjoying a great game! Onto subject, I definitely recommend the Necromancer class for Chris. It was my first, 6 years ago, | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 14 – I Can Haz Gaming Timez? | This week on Guild Wars Reporter Chris and Celeste lament their limited game time but rejoice in the release year of the dragon. Join us as we talk about battle combos, the necessity of raids, and filling up our hearts. What we did this week Celeste: Working on Guardian/Protector of Tyria/Cantha/Elona title Chris: Got in for about 30 minutes, but have been missing it so much. RL + sallennia new job = transition time. Not as much gaming as I would like. Lion’s Arch Report Year of the Dragon - Year of the launch! http://www.arena.net/blog/dragon Clearing up beta “events” info http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/2012/01/martin-kerstein-gw2-beta-weekends/ (some clarification on “beta events”) What are hearts in GW2? http://www.killtenrats.com/2012/01/20/gw2-just-play/ Are raid needed? http://huntersinsight.com/2012/01/17/raidiation/ Who put the Multiplayer in my online game? http://www.killtenrats.com/2012/01/11/gw-alone-together/ Voice overs and their importance. http://www.guildwarsinsider.com/2012/01/voice-overs-edited/ Combo for all! http://pc.ign.com/articles/121/1216828p1.html Ask an Asuran Now that betas and a soft release timetable has been revealed I need to barrel through the first game to get my points. What’s the best way to complete the PvE storylines? This week we’ll talk about Prophecies, the first campaign in Tyria, and how to complete it as quickly as possible. If you’re already 20 or well on your way and you have some Eye of the North heroes you’ll be thankful for them right away. The fact is, with the right build, heroes can be more efficient healers, minion masters or hexers. Prophecies becomes easiest if you just barrel through. It can take as little as a weekend of casual playing to get through the story since there’s no reputation gating. Going through Hard Mode you may want to get a buddy to team up with for company. The earlier missions will be breezy but the Ring of Fire Islands will definitely need some strategy. As for the followup quests in Prophecies, the Titan’s Quests, they used to be considered the hardest in the game. But this was before any expansions, heroes and skills were quite different back then. Now they even offer hard mode versions of them to retain the challenging aspect of their former lives. Really as long as you’ve got one buddy you can fly through both normal and hard mode versions of Prophecies with a little determination and some wiki-reading.

Send us an email! If you’ve got a burning question for our Ask an Asuran segment, please let us know! Email I have recently subscribed to your podcast on iTunes. While I do enjoy the podcast I am a bit curious as to whether or not Chris is new to the game? How much GuildWars experience do you both have? Also, have you considered discussing any of the more advanced aspects of the game? Thanks, Chris IGN:Carnage Runner Cele: I’ve been playing since 5 months after launch. I did the deep when you still needed 12 people, I 55’d regularly and bonded for DoA back in the day. As we’re focusing more and more towards the launch of Guild Wars 2 I’ve been focusing more on helping people to get as many easy points as possible versus completing the more advanced areas of Guild Wars. If you’re looking for an ongoing series on completing dungeons and other advanced aspects, Rubi from Massively has you covered.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter 2012 Predictions Show | We try to shake our budding obsession with a certain craft activity by making wildly speculative predictions for the coming Guild Wars 2 heavy new year. Join in on the fun and leave us a note if you've got a great prediction that we missed! Chris’ Predictions LAST - 9th Profession Annouced - Basket Weaver Release in early Fall 2012 (Post PAX) A strong RP component will be added to the game - similar to the LOTRO Music System. Perhaps a storytelling system, allowing small sprite to be summoned to enhance a story being told. PvP will include an Arena Style system, with ranked small group matches. Arenanet will drop the system that has players loosing levels when they return to low level zones. There will be NO rep grinds in GW2. GW Prediction - Number of active players will not drop significantly after the launch of GW2. Celeste’s Predictions Release - Dec 2012 RP - sharing journals with other players so that you can quick swap character bios while in-game with your rp friends/guildies. PvP - gvg makes a comeback (popular demand) and is then removed due to conflict of interest while belonging to 10 different guilds How many times gw2 will be named most anticipated game of the year? 39. On the shoulders of skyrim, gw2 will add dragon shouts and a ranger skill called arrow to the knee which will automatically down any other character.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 10 – We’re Sleepy | Chris and Celeste are sleepy this week but we're still excited about the Mesmer being confirmed. Join us this week as we talk about Mesmers, friendly fire catapults, festivals, and even create a build for a prophecies/eotn exclusive warrior. What we did this week Celeste: Skill capping, sleeping... Chris: Mesmer through Nightfall. Finding that my love for the Mesmer is leaving, mostly due to constant and never ending deaths. Lion’s Arch Report http://huntersinsight.com/2011/12/12/the-mesmer-leak/ http://guildwars2.pl/about_lore_and_mechanics_with_eric_flannum_guildwarspl_exclusive,a545 http://www.killtenrats.com/2011/11/29/gw2-interview-with-arenanets-eric-flannum/ http://huntersinsight.com/2011/11/09/a-festivus-for-the-rest-of-us/ Ask an Asuran Hello, I am really enjoying your podcast and I had a question for Ask an Asura. (I wasn't sure if email was the proper way to submit a question but here does anyway). I am playing GW1 again after buying it when it first came out but I never even finished the Prophecy campaign. I made a WaMo back when everyone was doing it and I recently bought Eye of the North because I am interested seeing the lore in preparation for GW2. I really do not care for messing around with builds, I just want to finish the lore missions without dying and dragging out my limited gameplay time. I got some Mercenary Heroes in the hope they would help but they are just as bad in the need to research builds. Unfortunately Mercenary Heroes are only able to use skills that you have unlocked with your account, the same as regular heroes. The builds on PVX Wiki all seem to assume that you have every expansion and use skills from Nightfall and Factions. What suggestions would Celeste have for someone with only Prophecies and who hasn't finsihed EotN? Someone who simply wants to see the lore, not wade through GW1 forums of people arguing about how stupid everyone else's builds are and contradicting each other all the time? Celeste suggested in a previous podcast that getting an elite skill can be a foundation but what advice does she have for a warrior who only has Prophecies and EotN and hasn't finished either? To keep things simple could she perhaps suggest the one Warrior elite she might chose in this instance? - RS Ideally Hundred Blades, but if you want to get started and get through prophecies as well there’s also Warrior’s Endurance (Desert Missions). warrior's endurance, distracting blow or healing signet, dismember, power attack, cyclone axe, protector's strike, Dodge This!

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 8 – Please Forgive Me Europe | Chris and Celeste try to figure out where on the line of sanity they sit this week. We're barrelling through the news about Engineer's tool belts, pets, and combos. We also have a great listener letter and a very scary story. We also discuss the viability of insulting an entire continent while still being in the single digits of episode numbers. What we did this week Celeste: The plague is still raging, so nothing really. Chris: Mesmer - It’s awesome. Lion’s Arch Report http://www.arena.net/blog/guild-wars-2-development-update-by-jon-peters http://greibach.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/an-oasis-in-the-post-convention-desert/ http://www.mmorpg.com/mobile/features.cfm?read=5776&game=473&ismb=1 http://angerinagw2.wordpress.com/2011/10/30/religion-humans/ http://dwpgaming.blogspot.com/2011/10/gw2-very-scary-story.html http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/halloween2011/ Ask an Asuran Hello Chris and Celeste, My name is Matt, I'm 20 years old and I live in a small town in Belgium (almost the smallest country in Europe) First of all thanks for the awesome podcast, I listen to it all the way over here. Let me give you a quick look into my situation, like Chris, I'm an altoholic. Always have been, always will be. Have played a few mmo's in semi-good mode, never been hardcore/pro, but I've gotten out of the "noob zone" in most games. Now I've started in Guild Wars. Well thats a whole new story to tell. I started out with a warrior (cause thats what everyone suggests) but I didn't really like that. Followed with a Dervish, I liked it alot, but didn't seem to get good with it. You may want to give Dervish another try, the Embark Beach update completely revamped it, so if it's been more than 8ish months, give it a go! Then I tried out a Ranger, just not what I'm looking for. Now this story goes on with almost every profession (except for monk, ele, mesmer and necro). Are you not a caster type or they didn't appeal? Mesmer can be quite rewarding if you're pragmatic enough. Elementalist is always fun if you're a bit of a pyromaniac. Necromancers have a wide variety of skills, you could hex, minion master, blood support, or even heal. The furthest I got is on my ritualist, who is around halfways in factions. Ritualist can get a little slow when you're levelling it, but after you hit 20 and you've got a majority of the skills, there's pretty much nothing to hold you back. If you get bored of running something like an SoS Spammer, you could minion master or heal. For SoS to work efficiently you've got to donate to Kurzick or Luxon to get summon spirits skill. Now to come to the point of this email, What profession do you two enjoy the most? And what profession should be fairly easy to get a fair hall of monuments with? Cause I started GW because I want to have this extra edge when GW 2 comes out (don't we all?). I didn't mean for these questions to get into Ask An Asuran, but if you lack any better ones, ofcourse feel free to use mine, I'd be honored if I got mentioned in your podcast :D Best of sunny greetings from Belgium, Matt Tales of Tyria Weekend Event: Double XP for elite captures and double green item drop rate Gwen tribute machinima http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RsdpV-o25U http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/07/flameseeker-chronicles-c-c-c-combo-maker/ Thursday November 10 9pm EDT Massively Overpowered [MVOP] will start on WiK Request for community events of the week/bi-week.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 7 – Plague of Tyria | The plague has come to Celeste's household but she marches on (only slightly foggy) so we can have a show this week. We talk about a variety of community issues, the global auction house, conditions, grawl, and geek out over an audiophilic post. Join us on this fevered journey through the lands of Tyria before the media draught begins. What we did this week Celeste: Logged in to check out the new costumes and look around but mostly been dealing with the plague. Chris: Started my Mesmer/Elem. Decided to start with Nightfall, as I have the least experience with this campaign, and I wanted a hero right away.

CleanGuild Wars Reporter Episode 5 – Caffeine-fueled Battle Suit | We talk a bit about Asura week, battle suits, upcoming community events, and answer your emails. Celeste goes crazy and drinks a bunch of coffee pre-show, Chris makes fun of the weirdness that ensues. What we did this week: Celeste: speed run through factions with guildies Chris: Continuing to work through eye of the north. Working on the Asura quests at the moment, and also getting my Ebon Vanguard rank up. Lion’s Arch Report Interview on PC Gamer about Asuran Battle Suit http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/19/guild-wars-2-meets-mech-warrior-in-the-asura-battle-suit/ Round-up and impressions from Asura Week - Hunters Insight http://huntersinsight.com/2011/09/15/hardcore-asura/ Blog Carnival: Guild System (Insane amount of info) http://www.guildmag.com/blog-carnival-2-the-guild-wars-2-guild-system Chris favorite: Social Dream or community nightmare Celeste’s: Multiple Guilds and You: The Roleplayer’s Paradise by Amidwx, from First Watch Irregulars Beta expected before the end of the year - discussion? http://huntersinsight.com/2011/09/20/the-beta-blocker/ Interview with Colin Johanson http://www.guildmag.com/community-interview-with-colin-johanson Eurogamer Expo Q&A - TalkTyria/DistilledWill http://www.talktyria.net/2011/09/26/your-eurogamer-questions-answered/ Ask an Asuran First of all, great podcast. Noticed it in Itunes and I hope you guys keep going, at least until GW2 is out. I rated the show 5 stars so hope that helps. I have 3 questions for you guys: - In the hall of monuments calculator, there are only rewards showing up until point 30/50 which includes the black widow spider. After that, it only shows the titles every 5 levels.Is it worth going to 50/50 or wil that cost an insane amount of time? My nickname ingame is The Gigedi, you can check my progress in the calculator ;) 26/50 atm. I got 1000+ hours on it and thanks to this podcast I am inclined to play again. At the end of the show, you always say: hope to see you ingame. I would be happy to join ingame and do some quests, points gathering together. The timeframe might be a little harder but yeah (From Belgium). Is there a reason you guys do not share ingame names of guildwars? If not, you could post it in the info. Also, and I think this is handy for a lot of GW players=> Glints challenge. It is a survival style instance/dungeon that gives you a Cloth of the Brotherhood everytime you beat it. If you get a good group you can farm up to 9 cloths (more if wanted) and upgrade about ALL of you EotN heroes for your hall(easy points for GW2). Do you guys have a good resource of some sort of guide on this? Anyways, great job keeping up the show with fun news and new links to cool sites. Greetings, Mike Twitter/Grinnam PS: I dno if you got my last email. Or maybe the questions where not good enough. I have added 1 good question, I think. Could you reply with a message so I know you got the mail? Thanks in advance! -------- Hey Celeste and Chris! My name is Nick. So.... I was listening to episode 2 of gwreporter (doing great by the way!) and I heard that your having trouble with that factions mission.
