I don’t PvP in GW2, but in OW rank only decays in the top 2 leagues which makes a whole lot of sense to me, and it only does so after a week (I think). This sounds really aggressive, but I also don’t know jack about GW2 PvP Potentially new PvP levels? Eagle eyed viewers spotted a level 83 player in a preview video. Confirmed, and will be applied retroactively.

You know, from Tyria? Anywho, I was just preparin’ a heaping bowl of my famous Meaty Wurm Surprise when a question came to mind. Sadly, that question almost immediately disappeared into the inky blackness of Old Timey’s mind-hole, but then I spotted a band of roaming bandits out my wind-er and it got me thinking: With all the hubbub about the White Mantle makin’ a comeback, do you think we’ll be seein’ (or slayin’) any of those darn Mur-sits anytime soon? Last Old Timey heard, there was only one left, but who knows? Stay sharp, you old Moa feathers! I look forward to hearing your smilin’ voices on the shortwave.

Fractal revamp, 1 week postmortem- I thought rewards were good because I got real lucky day 1. Have gotten garbage every day since =( The worst part is that on a lot of days I get the same or less gold as Swamps gave but it takes probably twice as long. Some high level fractals are just obnoxious still, doubly so with PUGs. IMO- Aetherblade can be especially bad, snowblind is still not great though the final boss of it is easy but has 10 billion HP, Thaumanova is unfun. Most of the rest are alright though. Overall it’s probably the right direction, but it just reminds me how annoying some stuff still is. WvW Poll: https://feedback.guildwars2.com/en
Greibach and Spirit are joined by Opt to attempt to cover what turned out to be a really great patch all around. Updates to fractals, a new raid lobby and DPS testing arena, WvW changes, squad changes, LFG changes and 30 more pages of updates notes to cover. Topics (mostly) in order: Raid Lobby and DPS Testing Arena Fractals Dailies WvW Changes Instant 80 and Free Account Slot for HoT owners Balance Patch and Profession Changes We didn't have time to cover all the changes so we'll pick up with a few more things next time after we've had more time to play. Hope you've all enjoyed the patch! ~Spirit
