      The latest from the greatest or a bunch of news

      We were all frowning at different kinds of people stacking confusion. One exceptional case of that was warriors. It didn't matter that they had about 2 very strong roaming builds. They also got runes of perplexity. Not to mention how stupid they were on engineers and even necros (I think someone told me fear counted as interrupt for some reason). All of us were saying a) lower the amount of stacks of confusion on 6/6 bonus or b) give it an internal cooldown...just like Anet did!

      Everybody and their mother was raging at WXP being character bound. Why is that a bad thing? First, it makes WvW alt unfriendly. If you were to switch mains (which we know happens from time to time) you would have to farm up to get the same upgrades on a new character, because we know all characters want some upgrades. Everybody wants guard defense and killer eventually, right? Anet has finally caved in on this demand by the community as it indeed is against their core philosophy and on top of that creates "barriers for entry" to WvW.

      The Obsidian-Sanctum-Area-for-Large-Scale-Battles is online and is huge and beautiful. With spectator area and everything. Not everything...you must leave your borderlands bloodlust buff behind the door. It's surprising how long it took Anet to validate the GvG game mode with this update, but they're saying sorry in a nice way by creating something that fits into the game well, is easily accessible and looks great. I have to say I'm quite fine with that result. Who knows, we may see RG coming back because of that. Nooot.

      Invitations for the first round of testing of the new WvW overflow maps were sent out and VG from Piken Square got in. Congratulations! Hopefully they will have something to share on the Piken forums, because boy am I hungry for some spoilers. From what I understood, there is no NDA on streaming the content, but I might be gravely mistaken. The only thing that keeps me down about it is that we will have to wait possibly until Spring 2014 for this particular release. The saddest part about that? The WXP changes are bound to this release. The only solace you can find in it is that even if you play on your gimp (new alt) the WXP will merge with what you already earned on your main. Rank 300, here I come! Waitaminute, it will be 500 before the patch QQ

      Everybody's talking about the new WvW map like its decades away! :P
      Its only like in a few months to come! One day, you'll open your eyes and log on to gw2 only to find a new WvW tab after pressing B :]
      Unless B isnt your keybind for WvW :poo:
      I mean... its not like the letter B has anything to do WvW... :poo: :poo:
      At all.. :poo: :poo: :poo:
