Guild Wars 2: All Aboard the Mantrain

[Syobon]

I transferred to Maguuma to play with Mander yesterday, so if anyone wants to do do something there with me add Tonnac.1402 please

[Kira]

There is a trial thing out for guild wars 2 right now.

Can anyone send me a trial key?
I've been eyeing this game for a while but just don't have the cheddar right now.

[Syobon]

PM me your email address.

[Mr. Mander]

The villain of Lost Shores has been revealed: Giant enemy crabs named Karka.

I'm surprised theres any room for water in Tyria's oceans with all the secret races that have been popping up from the deeps.

[Syobon]

If that means more underwater combat I will choke a bitch. Any screenshots yet?

[Mr. Mander]

Very few. The Karka are armored quadropods that can walk on land, so a good portion of it will probably be land-based but it IS taking place mostly on an island, so expect some underwater activity.

[Syobon]

Event patch is live I think, let's do this thing AZ.

[Mr. Mander]

The event doesnt start until tomorrow though

But apparently the update IS tonight. Holy butts they actually got around to fixing/buffing the Necros, eles, and Engis.

[Syobon]

Sweet, is there a changelist somewhere?

[KA-DOOM]

Nah, the Ele changes were, as a whole, a significant nerf, just from the Evasive Arcana "fix".

[Kira]

Hey this game isn't half bad.

I hope it isn't time soaking and/or soul absorbing

[Mete]

It's an MMO
Of course it is

Also how is the event? I haven't logged in in ages and wondering if I should.

[Mr. Mander]

Event hasn't even started yet, really, just some patches and preparation.

Event starts around 20:00 GMT today (adjust that to your own timezone as you will) and will begin with some giant crabs smashing up Lion's Arch. According to people who've played it in advance, the enemies are pretty challenging and using LA as a combat zone is interesting.

[Mete]

Oh neat, I still have time to join in then.
