Guild Wars 2 April Update Brings Custom PvP, New Dungeons [Update]

Posted on Apr 23, 2013

The massive Flame & Frost: Retribution patch is culminating in April. The final portion,Retribution, will end the living story of ‘Flame and Frost’ by adding new dungeon content and introducing custom PvP arenas complete with a spectator mode. Naturally, the patch wouldn’t be complete without the typical addition of new rewards and guild missions. The

ArenaNet Begins Teasing Wintersday for Guild Wars 2 (Seasonal Event)

Posted on Dec 11, 2012

Winter is coming. Oh, wait, wrong intellectual property. It is true though, Wintersday 2012 is coming to Guild Wars 2 tomorrow, December 12, 2012 and ArenaNet has begun teasing the new activities. Unlike its older sibling, Guild Wars 2 is being graced with new activities, ones that have been largely kept secret, until now. Players fond of quirky inventions

Guild Wars 2 World vs World Review

Posted on Oct 29, 2012

Having hit the level cap almost two weeks ago, my focus, aside from the on-going Mad King Halloween event, has been World vs World. I touched upon it a bit in my Guild Wars 2 review, but it really deserves it’s own review since it’s a completely separate system then PvE. So here we are.

Shadow of the Mad King Invades Guild Wars 2

Posted on Oct 22, 2012

The best thing about Halloween celebrations in MMOG is that they rarely last for a single day. ArenaNet’s own celebration for Guild Wars 2 begins today, October 22, 2012 and will conclude on November 5. Players will be treated to far more than simply apple bobbing, masks and and a one off boss encounter. Fear not, costumes

Guild Wars 2: Ding Level 80 PvE Review

Posted on Oct 17, 2012

From the moment World vs World was announced my interest in Guild Wars 2 PvE dropped to zero. During the beta’s I spent maybe 30 minutes to an hour in PvE, just to try it out, which didn’t impress me, and the rest of my time in WvW. However due to the massive WvW queue times after launch

Making Gold in Guild Wars 2

Posted on Sep 20, 2012

I’ve played a lot of MMORPGs over the years and one thing has always been consistent, I’ve always been poor.  Most of the time it was because I didn’t want to spend the time grinding to make money, I never crafted and I’ve only slightly dabbled in auction houses.  Guild Wars 2 however makes it

11,000 Guild Wars 2 Accounts Hacked via Fansite

Posted on Sep 07, 2012

ArenaNet reports that it received 8,500 hacking-related support requests last weekend and another 2,500-plus by Monday, after a hack into an unknown Guild Wars 2 fansite. They’re promptly responding with a load of common sense advice that everyone should know this late into the technological era: Don’t use the same password / login for the fansite as

Guild Wars 2 WvW Wishlist

Posted on Aug 31, 2012

World vs World in Guild Wars 2 is good, probably the best PvP system of any MMORPG in the last 5 years, but it’s certainly not perfect. Think of it as the common merry-go-round system where objective points are flipped between factions, but on a much larger scale and between three factions. While the Guild Wars 2 system is

Guild Wars 2 PvE First Impressions

Posted on Aug 28, 2012

As impressive as people believed Guild Wars 2′s PvE was going to be, I’ve never had even the slightest interest in it, for me the game was all about World vs World PvP. During the beta’s I barely touched PvE, however because of the massive queue times during the headstart weekend I was left with no choice but to

Overflow servers save Guild Wars 2 launch from complete disaster

Posted on Aug 27, 2012

I’d like to meet the developer/s who thought up of the overflow server queue solution and shake their hands. ArenaNet, give that guy/gal or team a massive raise because they completely saved your launch from complete and utter disaster. From queues to crashes to disconnects, I probably would have been logged in for a grand total
