We jumped into the realm of video and while we found that there are many kinks to be worked out, it’s a fair start. We’re reviewing a few other pieces of software to try out for the upcoming shows, and we can pretty safely guarantee that some of our newer ideas will not disappoint. Our next experiment will be the use of camera views of the hosts while discussing various topics, and playing the game during BWE 3.

Download the MP3 What profession/race did you play? How far did you get and what did you do to get there. Storytime! Which things did you not get to try, whether by technical limitation or time constraints that you wanted to do? How does Guild Wars 2 square up against other MMO’s that you’ve played? What are your thoughts on the reaction of the populace to the game, now that the NDA is lifted? How well do you expect Guild Wars 2 to do as compared to, say, Rift, SWTOR, and other MMO competitors of late? Which differences do you see that might grant GW2 more success? Cash shop impressions, value as a business model. Will it be profitable? Did the promise to put the holy trinity behind us appear to come true? (Interesting Reddit post regarding this) What have you found yourself doing, mostly, while you wait for GW2? Many people that played GW2 find themselves incapable of playing other games and enjoying it. Should there be a term of this phenomenon, or is there one? (Beta tester’s remorse?)

They’ve got a deepening thick blue like water tends to have, if you’ve done scuba, you see that the plants are extremely well done, and even the ambient sound is just like being underwater. Dodging works underwater also Skills that sink enemies If you like aerial combat, understand that a good portion, maybe half, of this game is underwater and there’s little functional difference between aerial and underwater combat.

Remedyman wants to know about World vs. World in GW2. Speculator’s Corner Oculus Sinister asks 1) Will there be an achievement system? IMO most likely. Will they do anything innovative there? Probably not. 2) Why have they been so quiet about their PvP and GvG? Think they have some amazing new concept to unveil or will it be more of the same? I think that GW’s pvp is among the best in MMOland and pve their weakpoint. All their emphasis so far has been to address changes in the game that fix pve weaknesses of the original GW and other MMOs. 3) MMO manifesto video on http://www.guildwars2.com: did anyone else hear Colin’s voice crack twice during his shpeal? Could he be going through puberty a second time? Could Guild Wars 2 be so amazing that this is a potential side effect and will the FDA have to step in and issue Guild Wars a block box warning? Shepard Book asks about the next profession reveal, release date speculation, and expansion release models. Matteo Vittoria asks 1) With the removal of the click to move system in Guild Wars 2, I can only assume that clicking results in a standard attack and in this the only way of auto attacking is to right click your first skill. Here lies my question, if I run out of energy/mana does my character stop auto attacking or only attack when he has the energy? I realise that this is hard to speculate on without actually seeing in game but I figured you guys would have more experience and knowledge in this area. 2) As a warrior I feel my role as the parties’ first member into combat dismissed as we now in Guild Wars 2 see other professions take on a more frontline role. In this lies my problem, do you think that stationary professions such as the Warrior are going to be ignored for more agile professions such as a ranger, especially because there is no body blocking in Guild Wars 2 and the role of the tank is effectively gone with the removal of the MMO trinity. Togo’s Soapbox I joined a party and everyone’s posting these links to their skillbars in chat. How do they do that? How do I do this for a build from another profession?

Speculator’s Corner Book writes It should be emphasized that the demo was a showcase for the game and many of the things could have been accentuated to be more ‘showy” As far as elites, I’ve always wanted the elites to be ‘elite’ versions of normal skills (like prot spirit 10 sec…10% reduction and the elite Shielding Spirit 16 sec and 16% reduction) The Shatner is a GREAT name (thanks Tiger Feet!)…Although…I’m getting a good vibe from “Krack-at-the-court”. Following Tasha’s was seems to work well for me when I’m helping others who are lost. Have them look ober their map while you are looking at Wiki.

Book and Jack the Spinner says Good evening gang I am just catching up with my correspondence and found this collection of thoughts that I meant to send after episode #11, but forgot. I blame old age This is mainly a question for Tasha, but all feel free to chip in. Tasha’s thoughts on playing Ranger in the demo at Gamescom were quite interesting, particularly the section on her pet being unresponsive. Of course, this is a common complaint by the GW1 community as well, so I wondered if Tasha plays beastmaster much in GW1. I love my pets and play with them often, particularly farming Totem Axes and Shards in the Wailing Forest in FoW (mainly for fu), is an effective way to learn and hone pet control skill. Personally I feel that pets get bad press because players just don’t understand pet mechanics (I am not suggesting this applies to any of you). Well, as the pet is an integral part of the GW2 Ranger’s character mechanic, it is obviously of no use if the pet is actually unresponsive. In GW1, the two main causes of pets appearing unresponsive are (in my opinion) 1) Out of aggro, the pet must be explicitly ordered to attack a specific target via pet control panel and skill usage. They will not attack out of aggro unless both conditions are met, if both conditions are met, they will attack instantly from flatbow range or a shade outside. 2) Pets, annoyingly, can stand around amidst the enemy, in which case they are body-blocked, or blocked by a terrain feature (no body-blocking in GW2 so that won’t apply, though terrain blocking will I assume).

I started listening to your podcast a while ago, then I discovered that I have an alter-ego in Chaz (I’m also studying accounting, my name is Carlo = Charles = Chaz and I do all the crazy notepad BU accounting stuff he does when selling things on Gw…), and that is how my addiction started. Yesterday I listened to Tasha’s I believe FIRST in-Gw SHOW on air on SI Radio and actually chatted a little with her, she’s lovely, and owned a nice Hide & Seek game in Gw which was great!!!! (Never played it before, thought it was kinda stupid but when you actually start getting into the teleport frenzy it’s so much fun!) After the show I had a very nice Zbounty quest + domination in the craziest zone (full of bridges, up & downs…jeez) with Chaz whose heros has some supernatural GPS Ability…and in him I found a really good player!

If you think about MMOs as games based on Fantasy literature, game mechanics then become a set of rules and choice options that yes, allow a game to be playable, but also have to keep the “spirit” of Fantasy books into the game. Nowadays a lot of great MMos have game mechanics that focus more on the “awesomeness” of moves and battles rather than making the game “fantasy acceptable”.

Rob Alden asks Hey there I love the show! I know there are no official system requirements known for Guild Wars 2 yet but I was wondering what you speculate the requirements might be? The first Guild Wars System Requirements: Minimum system specification * Windows Vista/XP/2000/ME/98 * Intel Pentium III 1.0 GHz or equivalent * 512 MB RAM * 3 GB available HDD space * ATI Radeon 8500 or NVIDIA GeForce 3 series video card with 64 MB of VRAM Recommended system specification * Windows Vista/XP/2000 * Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz or equivalent * 1 GB RAM * 4 GB available HDD space * ATI Radeon 9600 or NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 series video card or above Based on games out now though it seems like the recommended requirements might barely be the minimum specs for GW2? Or will they be scaling down there specs to something more along the lines of the first Guild Wars? My Specs are listed under this but even now my graphics card is on the mid to low scale when it was on the high end when I first bought it a year or two ago. On the Windows Index scale my graphics/gaming graphics are at a 5.3/5.5 Windows 7 Intel® Core™2 Duo T9800 2.93GHz (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M, 2GB – SLI® Enabled 320GB 7,200RPM Will I be able to run the game on my computer with full detail and settings maxed out?

It’d probably break lol And Phillip Broomhall asks Hi guys and girls reading this, I’ll admit I have only just this past week listened to the latest Relics of Orr podcast (#11) but am steadily making my way through any that might have information about Guild Wars 2 that I myself may have missed. In episode 10 of the Relics of Orr show you all talked about the dynamic events system as well as breifly talking about dungeons. I was just wondering whether you think ArenaNet will likely throw some dynamic events in the game which will unlock and also prevent access to various dungeons, so for example. Dungeon A is currently heavily guarded by a huge force of centaur. A dynamic event starts where players are tasked with taking out the centaur general in charge to weaken the moral of the remaining force. - Upon defeating the general in charge the remaining centaur forces retreat to Dungeon B. This allows players to explore dungeon A, however Dungeon B will now be cut off and inaccessable to players until a new event which will see the centaur pushed away again, thus unlocking access to Dungeon B but preventing access to Dungeon A. I hope the example above wasn’t too confusing, so what do you think? Is this something ArenaNet may do to give players a choice in which dungeon they want to explore.

Long time fan Sent from my iPod Alex Emory says: Ryan – Tasha – TigerFeet – Louden First off…nice show… 1. So healing is nice…but, for the team, prot is better. I play a monk more often than not (I, too, like to feel needed) and healing your team is a re-active thing…once they take damage you try to heal them up. Protection, however can be used proactively to mitigate the damage in the first place. Most groups look for HB or UA monks (for different reasons) but fail to see the advantages of having a prot monk in the group: a) makes the healing more manageable for the other monk (if there is one) b) negates or reduces damage taken in the first place so spikes are less effective on individuals/team c) can focus on one player if the game circumstances change and someone needs to be more of a ‘tank’ I made my monk for the same reason as the others…was a RANGER and groups were always waiting around for monks. But as Tiger pointed out…there are PLENTY of bad monks out there (people who have a warrior mindset…especially). It would help if people remembered that this is a ROLE playing game…and the role you choose should be one that you are willing to play. As an evil side note…even now, healing is the responsible of all players in the party. If you are a front line guy and getting pounded, retreat is your responsibility and give the monk time to heal you. Healing the party is the monks job…not focusing on one bozo who bleeds like a stuck pig but refuses to fall back…then blames others for his failure as a player. AND…you didn’t start playing a monk with the hope of it carrying on…don’t be a quitter 2. Rangers – People who don’t play rangers usually don’t understand what a ranger is supposed to be. Rangers, like other professions should be used to full fill specific roles. People who try to play outside that role are usually disappointed … and disappoint their team … and perpetuate bad attitudes towards rangers. Rangers are ranged players who are not primary damage dealers but condition dealers/spreaders … natural spirit users … Splinter (although splinter is better utilized by a Rt) among a few others…again…a role… 3. Why do we have to change the name of Guild Wars? GW and GW2 is simple enough 4.

We laugh it up while at the same time, answering a few questions the Relics krewe conjured up for him. John proves to be a personality you should most definitely be excited about. Guild Wars Awesome - What is the status of GVG changes? - What is the status of the dervish profession review? - With GW2 on the horizon, this will likely result in a smaller player base in GW. Is the interest in allowing players to bring more heroes affected by this in any way? - Can we look forward to any new weapons? - Will there be any new consumables? - Will we see a paragon profession review? - After the release of Guild Wars 2, what sort of nomenclature will you use to refer to the prequel. Guild Wars Classic, right? -Last October the live team introduced a set of quests to the Halloween celebrations that changed the Underworld. How likely are we to see further updates to the various holiday celebrations compared to the addition of new content to the game? -Pie or Cake? (Sorry, they melvin’d me) For players of the game Guild Wars, it’s highly recommended that you listen to this. Knowing what’s in the mind of this man will probably put you in a feeling of anticipation. He’s driven, and he didn’t fluff anyone (though I did do some fluffing). Stop in for a listen. After the interview, also, Chas and I went a little crazy based on some inspiration from the interview and we figured you guys might enjoy it.

It is really refreshing to listen to such a well produced podcast that covers GuildWars 2 news, while still having contributing segments and content about GuilWars 1. Yes 1, Arenanet says so! My question is how you think GW2 will handle finding groups with random players. I really hope, they find a way to follow Blizzards “Looking for dungeon” system in World of Warcraft. If there is one thing that WoW has done right it is hands down the “Looking for dungeon” system. While the party number above players heads in mission outposts combined with auto-invite and search menu is nice. It certainly is not perfect. This system has lead to personal frustration of people not understanding what HM means and trying to go along with me while not having access to HM. No frustration is great then wasting 25mins in and outpost trying to find a group when I could be working on secondary quests instead. They are giving us the auction house so we don’t have to sit in trade staring at our screens like zombies. Now help us with missions! Has something been said about this and I just missed it?

Sequel Scuttlebutt -Activities in game -Why did ArenaNet hit the reboot button on GW for GW2? -What are the dragons in GW2 and what about the gods? -Guild Wars 2 profession types, scholar, adventurer and solider Speculator’s Corner -Thanks to an email from The Grim Cow, we touch on a topic ill addressed. Utopia, the unseen fourth campaign that was replaced by EotN. It was going to bring about Chronomancers and Summoners. Will these two professions possibly be what we’ll see in Guild Wars 2? Or will they be related to that? I am listening to you guys talk about what might become of the necro. A while ago I came across something called Guild Wars: Utopia. Guild Wars Utopia is the name of the canceled campaign four, which was later adapted into Eye of the North. In Utopia were two supposed classes called chronomancers and summoners. I think these are the two mysterious classes everyone is wondering about. Attached is the link to: Guild Wars: Utopia : http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Utopia Guild Wars Concept Art: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1505275&postcount=203 Check out the Chronomancer concept art Thanks, The Grim Cow - Mounts. Will these happen? Will they be necessary? Were some of the vehicles in GWEN an experimentation in Guild Wars’ own flavor of mounts? -4th variety on GW2guru forums says:  http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/nec … t5171.html A Sylvari Necromancer cropped up in Ghosts of Ascalon. Since this novel is supposed to take place as an interim story between GW and GW2, is this an indication of necromancers returning on the whole? Togo’s Soapbox If I make an elementalist, what’s to stop me from going secondary monk and just playing a monk as an elementalist? I’m an assassin. And I seem to die a lot. WTF?

We accidentally did more profession speculation, as one should expect of any healthy Guild Wars fan site, and we discuss the missed potential of Vekk’s voice actor Maurice LaMarche in GW:EN. Hopefully, we’ve put Felicia Day (happy birthday by the way) to better use as her female Asura role in Guild Wars 2. We discuss how good looking our current characters are. My wife and I obviously pwning everyone else. This is our uber shiz. But Astara does put up a fight with one of the most awesome screenshots available from the original Guild Wars. That's Louden Swain. Dead. Anyway, on with the show.

Warrior and Elementalist. Speculator’s Corner -How will the “lost” professions be disposed of? Will they meld entirely into one other profession, aspects of each tree migrate to specific professions, or just *poof* gone? - Jacobim at GW2Guru: Do you think GW2 will allow for casters of a race to be distinguishable from soldiers of a race? http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/wil … t4994.html -If there are 8 incoming professions, and that concept art only has 6 on it, well then it should be clear we have two unknowns still, yo. -Sylvari know what their ancestors knew at birth.

Wait, did I mean to say it that way? Also, we say the word “segway” a whole whole lot. It’s because we’re pro. We speculate on whether or not we’ll see monks, healers at all, tanks, and necromancers. We had a lot of fun despite how hot my car got. But also, at the end, you can hear an interview that Astara had with some ArenaNet devs at PAX last September.  We usually shoot for an hour long show, but this stuff was too good. It’s really thorough. Seriously, these guys really love their work. It’s important to note that you Guild Wars podcast listeners shouldn’t stop at our show. There’s an entirely different show and cast over at Guild Cast’s website. Shawn did almost 100 episodes during the height of the popularity Guild Wars had, and he’s very seasoned at it. So it ain’t no sippin’ tea. I look forward to seeing what he will bring to the Guild Wars 2 community in the coming months.

Sequel Scuttlebutt -Dynamic events and the death of quests (and there was much rejoicing) -Traits -Quips will be toggleable, but they also won’t happen often. It was just in the videos for effect. -Mobs will not be one shottable. Video effect again. Speculator’s Corner -There may be a lack of emphasis on healers, thanks to Hunter from Hunter’s Insight. But there will be support professions and healing capable schools at the very least. -Similarly, it’s been confirmed that there will be no taunt system. Probably safe to assume no threat table. Will tanking in GW2 be like it was in GW1 (location based)? -Thanks to Shaun from the Conjure Phantasm blog, there’s been some good news for Necromancer hopefuls. However, if this is the case, then it doubles back to the idea of there being no monks. OMGWTF MIND BOTCH KGAIS Togo’s Soapbox The power of the Guild Wars Wiki.

We’re very studied on the matter. Well, ostensibly. Okay, those two are. I just said a lot of stuff also. We also discuss some gameplay in the original Guild Wars, tips on the differences of character creation in each campaign, and the value of keybinding. Our alleged triangle profession speculation. Sequel Scuttlebutt Talk about the news, the rumors, and so forth in regard to Guild Wars 2. -Combat and combinations -Gamescom and PAX hands on play The Hype Machine -Discuss the videos and images that have been released of late. Speculation Proclamation Here we speculate on things not announced or discussed in regard to GW2. -Aesthetic character creation options -How the skill cap works, is it soft? Togo’s Soapbox Because Togo doesn’t know how to shut up when you wanna finish the mission. What is the difference between creating a Nightfall, Factions, or Prophecies character? What’s the outlook?
