Last week, Massively OP’s MJ tore off the mask of the not-a-mursaat “Lazarus” in Guild Wars 2 and discovered it was instead the god Balthazar. Now there’s a twist! But then this god stole Taimi’s invention to fight the elder dragons Primordus and Jormag. Talk about rude. Now the chase is on, and has led […]

Justin and Bree discuss Guild Wars 2, Throne and Liberty, BitCraft, Dual Universe, and Final Fantasy XIV, with adventures in LOTRO, Palia, Drakantos, and GW2, plus a mailbag topic on crown control characters in MMOs.

Despite it being a game I spent a relatively small amount of time in, never even reaching level cap, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Aion. Partly it’s because it’s one of the first non-WoW MMOs I tried, but it’s more than that. As its sequel approaches, I find myself developing […]

Who doesn’t enjoy a good panoramic screenshot, especially if it’s taken by a computer monitor that’s wider than most aircraft carriers? As I look upon the majesty of Zulika’s submission, I weep for the scrawny screen real estate of my own monitor. But hey, it’s a step forward from the 13″ CRT that I had […]

As was foretold (scheduled), Guild Wars 2 heralded (announced) its first three elite specs for Visions of Eternity, and now ArenaNet has regaled us (livestreamed) more about these upcoming new elite specializations. Here’s a full breakdown of last night’s deep-dive! Troubadour The Troubadour, as one might expect, is described as a more “intentional” support-focused archetype, […]

We're going to try something a little bit different this time around in Fight or Kite, largely because I'm doing something a bit different now: gaming on a newly built Linux PC. It turns out it's not actually all that difficult these days, and the performance you can get from Linux is nothing to sneeze […]

Aside from recalling my most embarrassing days (of which I have quite a few), I do wish that my memory were better than it is. There are so many great moments from my past that my brain’s locked away, which is why I genuinely cherish the ones that remain bold and vivid — or the […]

As we noted yesterday, ArenaNet is planning to slow-roll its deep-dives on the Guild Wars 2 Visions of Eternity elite specs, starting today. While we’ve already got a load of teases, confirmations, and guesses, today we’re getting a hard look at three of the nine specs: the Troubador, the Galeshot, and the Luminary. Yes, confirmed […]

After a myriad of distractions, Massively OP’s MJ is finally heading back into Guild Wars 2’s Living World Season 3 to focus on business there. And boy, what unfinished business it is! Even with Caudecus out of the picture, there’s a possible imposter mursaat and developing plans for obliterating elder dragons. Which task will capture […]

When Guild Wars 2 announced Visions of Eternity last week, it didn’t offer a full preview of the nine elite classes on deck. The full rundowns are expected in chunks of three for the next three weeks for people who are watching ArenaNet’s Twitch channel at 3 p.m. EDT in the afternoon on Fridays. But […]
