A Mad Halloween Arena

So, ArenaNet occasionally has gem store sales. A recent sale had the Custom Arena Starter Kits discounted within (what I consider) the impulse buy range. We in the guild have been talking about getting our own PvP arena for awhile now, so the trigger was pulled... Say hello to the [stfu] arena...

A Very Guild Wars Halloween: Part 2

It's October, which means the Mad King has returned!  But what does this mean for the current Guild Wars 2 universe? We've seen evidence of his influence throughout the world.  We have doors leading into his realm in the Human region of Kryta, as well as mine-able candy corn nodes and pumpkins just waiting to be carved.  There's a new story this year, involving the Mad King's son, Bloody Prince Edrick. Upon entering the Mad King's realm, we have a few options for activities, just like last year: First, you can enter the maze and join the zerg rushing to kill bosses, mine candy corn and close doors.  The candy-crazed mob will overtake your mind until you realize you've finally slain the Grand High Viscount...

A Very Guild Wars Halloween: A Retro Take

It's October!  Seasoned Guild Wars players know that this means it's time for the Mad King to return. Halloween has long been a tradition in Tyria.  Even 250 years ago, before the Lunatic Court failed to break the seals to release him, the Mad King visited Lion's Arch and left chaos in his wake. The Mad King Oswald Thorn ruled over Kryta in the 9th century AE, but after his death, he was trapped in the Mad Realm and sealed there, permitted to return to the world only for Halloween.  His insanity and tyranny are probably a parody of the latter part of King Henry VIII's reign in England, especially as he is said to have had eight wives, whom he is said to have killed in a variety of gruesome ways.  Eventually...

Ascalonian Catacombs Event

Thanks to some of the updates that ArenaNet have been giving us every two weeks, one of the dungeons has become one of the more difficult dungeons in the entire game. The Twilight Arbor dungeon was updated to become a level 80 dungeon as part of the living story. It came with some Aether Pirates and some killer steam creatures,Before the developers get another great idea to update other dungeons and make them almost impossible, I've decided to make a series of events that are going to cover all the dungeons. Events covering Story and Explorable modes, once those are complete then most of us will have completed Dungeon Master. With that completed then we will have it before other dungeons are updated with added difficulty.The first event will...

Patch Updates: Blood and Madness

Shortly following the one year anniversary of Guild Wars 2's release comes the first annual event, the Halloween update! So many of us had been looking forward to this patch because of either the joy we got out of it last year or because it finally offers those of us who missed out a chance to catch up. Here's the official ArenaNet trailer to get you in the mood. This year the story follows the son of the mad king Bloody Prince Edrick when he awakes from his coffin his father trapped him in for lord knows how long. When he awakens you must throw candy corn at him (his weakness) until he retreats. When I fought him it was possible to kill him with some of my necromancer skills, but doing so would prevent him from retreating, preventing Magister Tassi from giving you the tiny golem...

[stfu]’s Secret Places

On Friday night, [stfu] members Ticker Granite and Chronos Evergreen shared their hidden places with the rest of [stfu].  We leaped, hopped, jumped, and eventually found ourselves outside or above the generally-accessible map! Afterword, several of us attempted the newest path in the Twilight Arbor dungeon.  We fought, dodged and applied quick use of our wits, but alas the network upgrades were our undoing.  Fear not, brave reader, for we shall prevail!  If you’re interested in participating in our victory, please comment and discuss below. You probably noticed in the above photos that we were all in pink!  You should look for other guildies during the course of October with special...
